The latest "shocking revelation" about Catholic priests sexually preying on children under their control, with the institutional protection of their powerful organization, the Roman Catholic Church, comes from the state of Pennsylvania, U.S.A.
A state Grand Jury has issued an 884 page report detailing 70 years of criminal sexual acts perpetrated by Catholic priests in that state against children. 301 priests- 301!- were identified as perpetrators, and over 1000 children were their victims. They would take nude photos of boys and pass them around (a violation of draconian Federal child pornography laws). The report characterized the priests' activities as a "child porn ring."
The Pennsylvania state attorney general, Josh Shapiro, said "the Church protected the perpetrators at all costs." He described a "playbook" for how to hide the crimes of their priests that the Church bosses used. In other words, they committed criminal conspiracy, and aided and abetted the thousands of sex crimes.
Among the atrocities the Catholic Church committed against children in their clutches in Pennsylvania are these:
-A 9 year old boy forced to perform fellatio, then his mouth washed out with "Holy" water. (That must sanctify the sin, right?)
-Five girls in the same family were used for sex.
-A 7 year old girl was raped in the hospital after her tonsils were removed.
-An 18 month old baby was sexually assaulted. (Hey, I have a motto for this cult: "The Catholic Church: Plumbing the Depths of Depravity in God's Name.")
As in all the Catholic Church pedophilia and other sexual abuse scandals, the same pattern of the hierarchy- the church bosses- covering up and indeed protecting the sexual criminals in their employ. When things get hot, they merely transfer the perpetrator. They never so much as expel the offender, much less go to the police. This protection racket of course runs right up to the top, at the Vatican and the various "Popes" who run this racketeering enterprise with absolute authority, (Funny, the U.S. doesn't bring charges against the CC under the RICO statutes, Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act. They only bring such charges against Mafioso and progressive activists. Reactionary power institutions have each others' backs.)
The Pennsylvania state attorney general, in announcing the Grand Jury's report, said he believes there were even more pedophile priests, and more victims, that they couldn't identify. The investigation relied on the Church's written records, and on victims coming forward. He assumed the Church didn't keep thorough written records, and that not all victims have come forward. Those are good assumptions.
This is just the latest news of rampant sexual crimes by priests preying on children. In states all over the U.S., it has been the same story.
And it's the same story in numerous countries around the world, from Latin America, to Europe, to Asia, to Australia. Always the same thing. Always going to the top of the hierarchy. Unending criminal behavior under cover of "holy" religion, always kept secret, the victims further victimized by this mind control cult with threats and guilt-tripping.
It is long past time to recognize the Catholic Church for what it is- a global pedophilia criminal conspiracy. It should be shut down under the racketeering laws.
Of course it won't be. Not just because it's so "powerful." But also because it is an ally of governments. It conditions people in its grip to be obedient authoritarians. It serves a vital function for the secular rulers.
Not by accident are so many police and secret police in many countries, including the U.S., Catholics. There's an irony for you!
Any parent who would put their child in the clutches of these known criminals is irresponsible.
