Pedophilia is a very serious crime. But if it is done by priests, it is, well, hush hush! These monsters are doing something even worse than raping children, they are abusing trust.
Not only should they be arrested and dealt with by authorities, but the very environment that these despicable crimes take place should be outlawed. Not only is the church raping children, it is also covering up such crimes. This report exposes abuse, but also exposes what some may view as encouragement of child rape.
For example, four former archbishops in Dublin – John Charles McQuaid, Dermot Ryan,Kevin McNamara and Cardinal Desmond Connell were found to have failed to report their knowledge of child sexual abuse to the Garda(police) from the 1960s to the 1980s. But the report added that all the archbishops of the diocese in the period were aware of complaints.
This is not just an Irish disgrace...four percent of all priests who served in the U.S. from 1950 to 2002 faced some sort of sexual accusation according to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. And this is only the tip of an iceberg, how many go unreported???
Any member of "the church" who knew about such crimes and didn't report it should face a prison cell to pray in.
