How does the Catholic church keep getting away with all of the sex crimes they've committed? You'd think the same people who are against Islam would also focus their energy against Catholic pedos, too. Really activates my almonds.
>How does the Catholic church keep getting away with all of the sex crimes they've committed Money + statute of limitations Catholics are demons. They should all die.

Most of the US isn't catholic, it's between baptist and protestant. You fedoras should brush up on your religion before you speak on it

>How does the Catholic church keep getting away with all of the sex crimes they've committed?
Fun fact, most "claims" are based on suspicious testimony and dubious "evidence" such as claims of repressed memory from decades ago with no witnesses to verrify anything. It's just an easy way to get money from the church because most diocese would rather just settle out of court rather than go through a trial.
Blake Nelson
Sure it is, Chaim.

I would love to get in the head of one of these priests who devoted their lives to god, believe in an all loving god, then rape dozens of kids literally in god's house. I can't imagine what kind of reasoning and rational they have going on.
Evan Jackson
You've shifted the conversation to religious demographics in the U.S. and somehow think that's a valid counter point to anything mentioned in the OP. lol

>every instance of actual child rape then.
There have actually been very few instances of actual child rape. Most was just a few queers who only get into the Priesthood after Vatican II and had relationships with teenage boys, and the rest false claims. Either way, the rate of abuse in public schools is much higher, but the (((media))) doesn't seem all that concerned about that.
Samuel Jenkins
>When considering implicating the office of the priesthood or the Catholic Church as some sort of outlier in sexual abuse, I think it's worth recognizing that those abuses happen in lower numbers than in Protestant churches, Muslim mosques, synagogues, and various secular institutions. This includes public schools, in which teachers (most of whom are female and obviously non-celibate) are 100 times more likely to abuse children than Catholic priests. Cover-ups abound as well. The idea that there is any Catholic exceptionalism in the case of sexual abuse is premised solely on media coverage and not on population level parametric data:
dude, it has been proved that there are lots of pedos in the church.
Alexander Hernandez
That's cuz Catholic church is basically a Satanist church.
Alexander Jenkins
It has also been proven that there are far fewer in the church than in other professions, and that the rate of abuse has been overblown by the media.
Alexander Hughes
You realize what you're doing isn't just shifting blame from Catholics, but you're actually trying to normalize child abuse, rather than combat it?

I'm not rying to normalize anything. I'm just pointing out that the abuse problem is worse outside the church than inside of it.
Colton Butler
1) catholic priests regard themselves as blessed due to the Eucharist therefore if a child inspires lustful thoughts that child must be a demon so it's not their fault. The Name of the Rose had some lines about this 2) their managers are also priests So when they know they are going to get found out they confess to their bishop via the confessional- which means their manager can't tell anyone else or even hint about it. So they just move them on usually to Australia or Africa or South America

They advertise it like it's about a murder mystery when it's really about sexual abuse which is fine I guess but they go on way too long about the rapes. It was boring as shit.
Gabriel Rodriguez
speak for yourself, fucker. I hate all organized religion. tax all the fuckers if they wanna keep operating in the US. you wanna participate in politics? pay the fucking entry fee like everyone else you damn cunts.
Nicholas Anderson
So you agree that the child abuse problem in the Catholic church should be dealt with and violators should face the harshest consequences of law?

The point is that you're trying to isolate the catholic church as the source of a problem while ignoring that other institutions do it far more often. Trees instead of the forest stupidity

Too bad they still do it anyway. Pastors going on tv and telling their sheep that Obama or whatever Democrat candidate is the devil and lifting their religious conservaative candidate on a pedestal is participation. We'd wipe out the national debt in a couple of years if we were allowed to charge these freeloaders on ten years worth of back land and property taxes.
Parker Foster
>Unlike the accusations against my priest friend, Dylan Farrow’s claims are specific:
>when I was seven years old, Woody Allen took me by the hand and led me into a dim, closet-like attic on the second floor of our house. He told me to lay on my stomach and play with my brother’s electric train set. Then he sexually assaulted me. He talked to me while he did it, whispering that I was a good girl, that this was our secret, promising that we’d go to Paris and I’d be a star in his movies. I remember staring at that toy train, focusing on it as it traveled in its circle around the attic. To this day, I find it difficult to look at toy trains.[2]
>The same media which automatically assumes that every Catholic priest accused of abuse is guilty as charged lets Hollywood celebrities off the hook by insisting that they are innocent until proven guilty. The legal system as it exists now prevented both Fr. Seculoff and Woody Allen from having their day in court. In Connecticut, the legal system was intimidated by Woody Allen’s wealth and fame. In Indiana, the Church derailed legal investigation by applying its own procedures. As a result, we’ll never know the truth of the allegations. In both states, the statute of limitations has run out. In the case of Woody Allen, this is taken as proof of his innocence. In Indiana it is taken as proof of a Catholic priest’s guilt. After being accused of the same crime, Woody Allen had a full page of the New York Times put at this disposal to defend himself. Father Seculoff, on the other hand, was forbidden to speak to fellow priests.
While discussing this documentary, which focuses on the abuse of priests within the catholic church, yes.
If you watched a documentary on the suicide forest in Japan would you be all, "YEAH, WELL, OREGON'S SUICIDE RATE IS WAY HIGHER! WHY NOT TALK ABOUT THAT!?"

Angel Watson
legitimate question, was that in the US? I honestly have no clue. I work for a privately funded nonprofit organization, they still take taxes out of my paycheck. its not the same as the organization itself paying for them, but at least the taxes are paid. meanwhile fucksticks like Joel Osteen and Pat Robertson get off scot free living in huge fucking mansions spewing their dumb bullshit and not paying taxes. get fucked.
Luke Green
It's a complicated matter where a non-profit sometimes still pay taxes. So, in Joel Osteen's case, I've heard that his book royalty is a personal revenue in lieu of a church salary - so he's paying taxes on that. If a church has a bookstore, resale shop, restaurant, or non-church related business, those are called "auxiliary revenues" and those are taxed as ordinary corporate tax rates, plus sales tax, employment tax, etc. Also, there is a little known business personal property tax that ordinary citizen don't normally see unless they own a business. These are personal property taxes on office and store furniture, computers, equipment, company cars, etc.
So, I think you need to stop getting all upset assuming that churches don't pay taxes at all. Besides, if you wanted to tax the churches, it's all passed down to the primary source of revenue from the church member's tithe. And good churches have humble ministers and give money for their missionary to spread the Word of God, to help the poor, and to heal the sick. Still, some churches spend too much on fancy church renovations and expensive homes for the ministers but I assure you that those are not well received from church members. Unfortunately, major decision are made by the vestry who are usually chosen by the senior pastor. So there's little that the church members can do except to leave.

I was reading this book on communism in the USSR and it reminded me of this, how they were trying so hard to make it seem like everything was perfect so everyone would have a good view of communism, making it seems like there were no murders and no crime in the USSR. So like the Church trying hard to make it seem like their priests are perfect, which in the end just made it way worse cause they didn't stop them from abusing kids.

Michael Hall

Money and power influencing the legal system, both on an individual level and a systemic level. Like you saw in The Keepers, they do everything they can to get individuals to settle, to drop the case, etc. Then they use their influence in government to keep statute of limitation laws such that they are in the church's favor.
Blake Rogers
>What was Cardinal Law's crime? His crime is that he listened to psychologists. His crime is that he did what the dominant culture told him to do. He was told, on the authority of psychologists, that that pedophilia was curable and so he reassigned the priest in question to another parish. The molestations happened 20 years ago, and the changes that created the atmosphere that allowed that disaster to happen in the Church, the culture of saying yes to appetite, happened 20 years before that, which is to say in the '60s, when the Catholic Church, fatally docile when it comes to the dominant culture of control through appetite, started running seminaries and religious orders according to the principles of Carl Rogers and Sigmund Freud. If the Catholic Church is at fault, it is at fault for listening to the dominant culture, specifically psychologists of this sort, in the first place. The vehicle for the demoralization of the Catholic Church was modern psychology.
>Then they use their influence in government to keep statute of limitation laws such that they are in the church's favor.
More like the Jews are trying to rig laws so that anyone with a 50 year old undocumented accusation can get easy money from the church.
Logan Nguyen
>Far fewer No. The rate of individuals acting as pedophiles has been shown to be in line with other professions. What makes the church different is the church as an organization goes out of its way to cover up abuse, silence the abused, and protect abusers.

Elijah Gray
Cardinal Law knew about sexual abuse and actively worked to cover it up. He worked to move abusive priests from parish to parish to cover up their repeated crimes. Don't try to put this on the psychologists or act like Cardinal Law didn't know what he was doing.
Anthony Peterson
Public Schools are doing that now, and Cardinal Law was praised for the Boston Globe for his approach.
Hunter Stewart
That's so fucking stupid, these people committed horrible crimes and we're supposed to believe he protected them just because he thought they were going to be cured eventually?
>I know this guy murdered a bunch of people, but he told me he wouldn't do it again so I'll hide the evidence

Lincoln Baker
>He a good boy he dindu nuffin
The man ran multiple "treatment centers" for abusive priests that were in and out of these centers repeatedly. Do you honestly believe Cardinal Law oversaw these programs for decades with his thumb up his ass, watching abusive priests repeatedly sent to treatment centers, still believing that a stop in the center would cure them?
Jacob Miller
They were following the approved psychological guidelines at the time. You can act superior all you want because of hindsight, but they had what they thought were valid reasons for doing so.
Isaiah Bennett
>Cardinal Law was praised for the Boston Globe for his approach
What alternate world do you inhabit where the Boston Glove praised Cardinal Law?
Josiah Ross
>Why didn't he expect what he thought was a deep-rooted psychological problem to be cured instantly?
>And it is not as if the Boston Globe could plead ignorance to the fact that the Church had for years been sending abusive priests to therapy and then returning them to ministry on the advice of prominent and credentialed doctors. As we reported earlier this year, back in 1992 – a full decade before the Globe unleashed its reporters against the Church – the Globe itself was enthusiastically promoting in its pages the psychological treatment of sex offenders, including priests – as "highly effective" and "dramatic."
>They were following the approved psychological guidelines at the time
Survey commissioned by the church after the scandal broke found their own treatment centers unqualified by standards of their time.
The treatment centers were a front designed to give the appearance of trying to solve a problem when what the church really cared about was covering up abuse.
You also paint an absurd picture of Cardinals watching serial abusers going in an out of programs, expecting "oh maybe this time it will work". No? He raped another dozen kids? Well back to the treatment center, it'll surely work this time.
Your unwillingness to acknowledge the church's complicity in covering up abuse is part of why they are able to do it to such a systemic degree. This is why priests are able to continually abuse children for decades.
Jace Ortiz
You're retarded, psychological guidelines would never promote abetting criminals. Saying pedophilia can be cured is very different from saying you should help them commit more crimes.
Andrew Evans
>Show me another organization or profession that protects pedophiles to the same extent the catholic church does.

A better system may have prevented this
Jayden Lee
>>Why didn't he expect what he thought was a deep-rooted psychological problem to be cured instantly?
So now you're claiming the Cardinal expected it to take multiple treatments to cure pedophilia? And knowing this he put these priests back to work with children, knowing the treatment had not cured their pedophilia?
And the Globe promoted psychological treatment of sex offenders. So you then make the leap from that to acting like the Globe condoned putting known child abusers back to working with children? And covering up that abuse?
We're reaching high levels of delusion here.
Michael Gutierrez
>> Abuse happens >> Bishop finds out >> "if the guy abused these children, then maybe removing them from these children might be better" >> Priest is transferred with a stern warning (hopefully) not to do these things again
That's not accurate though. They didn't remove the priest from children, they moved the priest to children in a different parish. A huge part of the scandal is that the church not only covered up abuse, but allowed abusive priests to remain working with children.
Adam Evans
He made his decisions based on what the psychologists at the time had told him. He made the mistake of trusting experts.
It was Dr. Swords who advised that it was both “reasonable and therapeutic” to return Geoghan to active pastoral ministry including work “with children.” The archdiocese acted on that advice.
