Does this surprise you?

There seems to be no end.

There was Ireland, then Portugal, then came Pennsylvania, then the horrors of Regensburg... one revelation after the other, not necessarily in that order.

Now we have all of Germany.

Here, interestingly enough, the criminals ordered an investigation into their own crimes, paid for it and therefore, of course, controlled it.

In spite of this rigged affair, the investigators found that over the past 70 years thousands upon thousands of children, boys and girls, were assaulted by Roman Catholic Priests

This report revealed that over 3,600 children were sexually attacked by some 1670 members of the Catholic Clergy.

Given the rigged nature of this report, one may assume that the actual numbers are a large multiple of those reported.

There were only about 38 % of the alleged perpetrators actually prosecuted and convicted, with the vast majority of them having faced only minor disciplinary procedures and consequently were given only minor penalties, mostly transfers to other communities, to whom no warning was given regarding their actions.

Most of the victims were boys, aged 13 or younger.

The physical and predominantly psychological damage done to these children is beyond measure.

Most of them will be guilt ridden, certain in the belief that the fault must be theirs.

Three German Universities conducted the research, examining 38,000 documents from 27 German dioceses. The researchers stated that the actual numbers may be far in excess of those found since some records had been destroyed or manipulated.

What will the Catholic Church do about these atrocities?

Bishop Ackermann “regretted” that this report had been leaked to the press, before the Church itself had seen it. Why would he regret this? Likely because having released this report in the order in which it was, deprived the Catholic Church of further manipulation.

He also announced that the Church had planned to provide counseling helplines for the people affected (by these systemic attacks on human dignity) (bracketed italics mine)

This damning revelation of sexual and other attacks by Catholic Priests in Germany upon children is only the latest in a long, world-wide series of such criminal activity.

And now for some wishful thinking:

The one and only way in which to put a stop to these atrocities is to declare the Roman Catholic Church a Crime Syndicate, place any member found guilty of these criminal activities by a secular Court into federal confinement for many years, stop the compulsory “tithing” of its lay members, prevent their financial institution (Vatican Bank) from the laundering of ill-gotten funds, punish this Bank's responsible directors and, very important, unilaterally cancel all Concordats.

Why would, for instance, a Country like Austria, recognize the Vatican as an independent “country”and extend to it all the privileges connected therewith, including huge financial contributions for the upkeep of their churches and for salaries of their staff?
