I hate the constant reference to the reported abuse being 'Historic'...it's NEVER 'historic' for the victim.
This word serves to tell us or imply "therefore not so serious".
using the word 'historic' relentlessly is in fact DENIAL of the reality. DENIAL of the harm, and a not so generous attempt to downgrade the victims report. It is, in fact, rather obscene.

If you want a truly overarching 'truth-telling' documentary of the evil corruption at the heart of the Vatican...watch this film documentary.
It is probably the most damning documentary ever to be produced. It's a documentary that should be in every cinema, on every TV station world-wide.

rideout jailed
Paedophile Canon Rideout Jailed for 10 Years
Canon Gordon Rideout a priest who abused both girls and boys throughout the 1960s and 70s has been jailed for ten years after being found guilty of thirty-six separate sex offences.
The Church knew about all of these allegations from 17 different people - some for many years. Rideout's access to children was never restricted - he was never suspended, even as a precaution, and was allowed to continue to have access to schools until 18 months ago.
He was investigated in the late 90s and early 2000s with the area bishop even attending a police interview with him and his blemished CRB not being dealt with appropriately.
That bishop has just been cleared of any wrong-doing - apparently there is no case to answer
Still, nobody who was in authority in the Church has been held to account for their failings

Good result. MACSAS has been working on this case in the UK. The victims are tremendously courageous and only for THEIR persistence none of this would have happened.
'Cover-up' not just the 'name of the game' for the catholic church , all churches do it!
We got to realise that 'religion' is not the same as 'Christianity' and that when 'Christianity' becomes 'religion' it is corrupted.

Anglican Bishop of Grafton quits over 'failings' in child abuse complaints
Anglican Bishop of Grafton quits over 'failings' in child abuse complaints
A statement on behalf of the Anglican Diocese of Grafton says it commends Bishop Slater for his ''honest acknowledgement of mistakes'' and affirm him in his ''generosity and courage'' in resigning

Not entirely sure why the Bishop has 'generosity and courage'. That's not what he's doing here. He acknowledges he failed CHILDREN. These were NOT 'mistakes' and every time a Church calls failure in 'duty of care' 'mistakes', they deny they have a moral and legal duty to report sex offenders. Every time the word 'mistake' is used they belittle the offence, downgrade it to a 'minor' when it is a MAJOR criminal offence we are discussing. The ignoring of the rape, buggery, sexual assaults of CHILDREN by clergymen is not a 'mistake'...it is complicity.
I would need to meet this Bishop face-to-face before I could judge whether or not the resignation was from his broken heart or from shame or from acknowledgement of his wrong doing.

Disgraceful that here in Ireland poor victims have not the proper means to fight and gain better settlements.
