The Catholic Clergy is now concerned about the Status of Good Friday.
Should it be a half holiday, or a whole holiday ?
Do they not have a heap of other problems?
Like: Should sexual predators from within their organisation be defrocked?
Should they be handed over to the prosecuting Authorities and sent to jail, where they belong?
Should those Bishops and Cardinals who either themselves commit crimes against children or who hide, hush up, those crimes when committed by their employees, be themselves excluded from this Club?
A few days ago the four day meeting of the highest members of the RCC, called by the Pope, in order to discuss this criminal problem of the sexual conduct by many members of the clergy came to an end.
I said it then and let me repeat it now:
Blah, blah, blah, yackety-yack, blah, blah.
And that will be the end of it!

The Heron and the Hippo
This Grey Heron uses a Hippo as a fishing platform.
Another Hippo objects to such obnoxious behaviour
.
But, since Hippos are vegetarians,
the Heron gets away with a scare.

Is this possible?
To all the nefarious goings-on in the Catholic Church, there are still those who are willing to downplay the crime of sexual predation, particularly against children.
Those defenders will blatantly state that "Priests too are just people and people make mistakes!"
What a primitive defence this is. It totally disregards the elevated position a Priest holds in the mind of a child, or other primitive person, and further does not take account of the hushing up of the crime by Church Authorities.
Priests, in fact, are not "just people". They claim to be the representatives of Christ, here on Earth and are supposedly following higher standards than those of us who truly are "just people."
It is suggested that no accusation is to be made and the Biblical Verse "let him, who is without sin, throw the first stone", is cited: as a defence? or as an attempt to silence the critics!
Now the Pope has called for a four day meeting, during which these nests of vipers and their criminal activities are to be examined and discussed. How long have they been "discussing" those crimes?
Each and every time one of those moral hoodlums was discovered, he was simply transferred to another Diocese, where he, unchecked, could continue seeking and finding new victims.
In fact, Mr. Ratzinger, who goes under the pseudonym of
"Pope Benedict 16th" stated in writing, that such transgressions (like the rape of children) is not to be reported to the Civil Authorities, but is to be dealt with by the institution of the Catholic Church.
This man had the audacity to place the members of his gang over and above the Laws of the Country and to deny the State jurisdiction over common criminals.
Instead of spending an appropriate amount of time in jail, these monsters enjoyed the hunt for new victims in new surroundings.
What will now happen after this four day conference?
I fear nothing will happen. Some talk talk talk, but little, if any, action.
Pope Franciscus, an honest, but misguided man, stands almost alone in this fight. He is surrounded by a phalanx of Bishops, Cardinals, and other high positioned members of the Clergy, who will desperately defend their turf and their cushy jobs.
The numbers, of which we speak, the 10,000 victims in the USA, the 15,000 in little Ireland, the thousands upon thousands reported in Germany and Austria, the uncounted victims all over the Catholic world, are, researchers admit, but the tip of the iceberg.
To paraphrase a biblical quotation, for those who hurt even one of the little ones, it would be better, if a millstone be tied around his neck and he be dropped into the depth of the ocean.

would be satisfied with some years in Jail at hard labour.

A question to the issue below:
66.4% of the victims were male!
Does that mean that the preponderance of priestly perpetrator were homosexuals?
