not a clergy case but news that a nun is simply not taken seriously about her gang rape.
The brutal gang rape is referred to constantly as "alleged" rape case.
This is the fourth identification parade conducted for the nun to identify the rapists.
Even though she identified one person when it was conducted the last time, the magistrate distorted the report!
Four years have passed and the Church, the State, the Patriarchal society still looks at the issue as a "personal" issue of violence that has happened to the nun?! Unless we change the basic thinking pattern and framework which is deeply caught up in patriarchy, we will be only fooling ourselves talking about JUSTICE. Will the Church please SPEAK UP! I don't mean only the Catholic Church, I mean the whole Church - anyone who calls himself / herself a follower of Jesus Christ..., living anywhere in the world. LET US STOP THIS VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN NOW

The Direct Approach to the Unconscious - ADI an explanation from the internet
The Direct Approach to the Unconscious - ADI
| ADI/TIP Considers Human Suffering Like The Fruit of a tree. The sickness of which comes from the SAP which is in the root. From the ADI / TIP prospective, our instabilities, limitations, pain and infirmities are all located in a few unhealthy roots, like a tree. The ramifications of these "sick roots" are expressed as symptoms (leaves and fruit if you will) derived from the sap of the sick roots. During treatment, these symptoms don’t need to be explained or understood. We simply directly identify the problem on the root, which occurs as "register phrases".These recorded statements generate specific program chains, which are activated throughout a patient’s life expressed as problems without apparent cause. On the other hand, current disease and psychological unbalances refuel the existing program. The older a patient gets, the more serious the problem becomes. Nevertheless, the first cause is almost always located in the gestation period of development in the womb fed by recorded statements from dozens of past generations coded in the unconscious.The Unconscious offers the solutions to the deepest root of the problem.Identifying the "register phrases", we now go to the therapist who also uses the same questioning technique to help the patient find solutions to his problems through the life experiences in the unconscious. Diagnosis and therapy of the register phrases are techniques and an art thoroughly studied by T.I.P. therapists. However, the mere decodification of the first causes on which sit all of the ramifications allows for a complete breakup of these ramifications. Besides that, TIP anticipates the substitution of the negative register phrases for positive ones and reinforces pleasant life experiences. According to our patients after therapy, know that the TIP therapeutic process generates much greater change than just the elimination of physical and psychological problems. It is the person himself, which generates his conditionings, and only that person can rebuild them.When we are sick or suffering psychologically, we immediately look outside ourselves for the cause. We respond by counter-attacking with medicine or psychological analysis and feel that we are victims of the situation. The unconscious shows us that our problems and illness are not something that comes from the outside but are options and "choices" that we freely make, positions that we assume in the unconscious. These poorly made "choices" are conditioned and on top of these, we find other choices that we have made. They function as codes which are transformed into brain orders which are expressed in the organism, psyche, in all of our being, what we do, how we think and in the life of the person. Understand that by just reversing the initial negative options and reformulating them with a new emphasis is to decode the primary origin, which makes us suffer today. This is possible due to the atemporality of the unconscious, which is not limited by time, space or matter and due to the technique of the "direct" and "conscious" approach to this mental level. With TIP therapy, it is the patient himself who brings about his own therapy over the unconscious. Only the patient can "want" to make changes in his manner of being and thinking. In fact, there are patients who wish to be free of unpleasant symptoms but are not willing to confront the reformulations or themselves in a deep way. These patients we call resistant.  |

see letter from Irish victim of clergy abuse who 'protested' outside the eucharistic congress. THIS is the end result of the Church Hiararchy's total inability to dialogue with victims. The Church has divided victims into the 'good' ones (they don't publically protest and can be relied on not to talk to media) and the 'bad' ones. The 'bad' ones challange for truth, accountability, responsibility...JUSTICE. The Catholic Community now attacks these alleged 'bad' ones as it offends their sense of utter loyalty. loyalty rather than transparancy or justice is what is key 'Catholic' behaviour. the outcomes for the church of this continuing is dire. the outcome for victims is even more violence and abuse. letters please to Irish Times.

catholic church england and wales offensive leaflet
please note that the Catholic Church in England and wales does NOT mention CLERGY sexual abuse. This is a GENERAL leaflet for those abused by ANYONE in the Church and ALL forms of abuse. It is NOT specific to clergy sexual abuse victims. There is no budget for this, volunteers will be used and victims signposted to other service providers. This is why MACSAS resigned from the planning committee last year. Note we are NOT mentioned as a support group despite being the ONLY clergy & minister abuse support group in the UK. furthermore, 'hurt' is hardly the word for gross violation with subsequent devastation to life.
i can't seem to put the second side on here.

not entirely sure why / how a STONE symbolises healing? There are references to stones in the bible. The most relevant one is the millstone put around the neck of anyone who harms children. Even "the stones cry out", a reference to despair and of course Luke 11:11 'What father among you, if a son asks for bread would give a stone".
For me the alleged healing stone is the STONE given by the father rather than bread!

many of these nuns can not be described as 'radical feminists' ; it is the vatican who thus labelled them. however any woman who seeks to be independent of male control is regarded as a 'radical feminist', ditto any woman who challenge men.

shame...How do I really feel that I was brought up a Catholic and in my own case saw nor experienced any pain at all. even in my thirties as a practicing Catholic there was nothing but joy in my parish thanks to two very special priests. This happened whilst all around me there was abuse, and terrible crimes against women and children. I feel 'cold' and deep sadness and anger for the victims.

This is a damning report by Fr Tom Doyle concerning the 'treatment' of clergy sex abusers by Church run facilities in America, UK and Ireland.
There is an horrendous case of an Irish Priest re-assigned to parishes after several treatment programmes.
A passing reference is made to the St John of God treatment centre in Dublin where this priest was treated twice and returned to ministry. I once visited this place. It was a lovely old country house in the midst of rolling fields but adjacent to a new built housing estate. Offenders had an array of treatment facilities, and ambled in leafy glades whilst not far from there patients (victims of clergy abusers) were in the lock up wards of the same St John of God order tanked up to the eyeballs with drugs. The contrast was obscene. I had to promise I would never reveal the location of the facility so assume the residents in the housing estate never got to discover there were sex offenders getting off the Dublin buses at their doorsteps to visit as outpatients for treatment. Maybe we should now demand what sort of 'record' the Stroud UK centre & The St John of God centre actually had. and how much risk THEY put children in by recommending return to ministry DESPITE re-abusing and return to treatment.

Many will ask why do this if the perpetrators are dead? Is there any benefit in knowing the names of dead perpetrators? Resoundedly YES!
Many victims will benefit in knowing that THEIR abuser is known, THEIR abuser has been 'outed' and it will help them realise they may not be alone. They can now speak out clearly.
The other message is to the Church. You may seek to 'cover-up' even after death but in the end the names will be named! The fact you don't do it yourselves only speakes of your dishonest and hypocritical 'christianity'. for the last thing you seem to want to do is heal victims.
