Isn't that the Popes home country?

Abuse by clergy has run rampant in every country that catholic clergy reside.

Doesn't that make it perfectly clear that there is a perverted sub culture within the catholic church clergy? No other way to explain it.

Sadly, with the tens of thousands abuse crimes disclosed to date, thousands more have been hidden by the wonderful hierarchy, and more likely than not, never surface.

I used to belong to that denomination. I can't believe all the damage it has done - and to children, of all people! There was a time, many years ago, that I would have refused to believe any priest or clergy was capable of such filthy acts. This is an epidemic!

Priesthood should be outlawed. So far all they good at doing is shaggn n jammn kids n worst of all gettn away with it. If Satan exists he works thru the Vatican n its sadomasochist churches.

I'm sure they're not aware of it. Or don't want to believe it. We had a couple of clergymen in our area, proven to be child molesters and my first reaction was disbelief. One of these priests died before any charges were proved, the other priest got transferred. Other than those two, I believe all the other priest I've known have been okay. Many were absolutely wonderful.

The last few years we have learned plenty about known abuses by clergy. The big unknown is how many un-reported cases are there?

How hard would it be for any young boy to tell his died in the wool catholic parents that their beloved family friend priest committed such terrible acts on him? I am sure there are many young boys who never told anyone, and I am sure there are many boys who told their catholic loving parents and they did nothing but keep it quiet.

Back in the day, imagine how hard it was to march down to the church, explain what their son said, and the priest saying "your son has a warped imagination" A few families would contact their bishop only to be blown off by him staring the family in their eyes saying "I don't know what you are talking about".........yet every bishop who had molesting clergy under his watch, would know exactly what was happening..........because he was the one hiding these priests by moving them to other parishes only to abuse again.....

Catholics need to wake up and determine what is right and what is not, and act accordingly, instead of making excuses for this sub culture that has been within the catholic clergy worldwide for centuries.

The real totals, I am sure are astronomical. We will never know.

You're so right. There are probably hundreds of unreported cases. The discipline of celibacy probably leads many young priests to feeling they're going to explode from the constant suppression of the normal and strong sex drive; suppression of it is unhealthy to begin with and eventually the urge becomes overwhelming. And yes, the molested kids must have wondered if their diehard catholic parents would even believe them - what an awful position they were in. A fine example of how the Holy Spirit is constantly protecting and guiding over the one, true religion!
