Thank you Amy Goodman for this report. How does one justify allowing this organization doing business in the U.S.? It would be reasonable, given the never ending story of child abuse coming from this institution, to legally designate this organization as a horrible criminal enterprise. Not because some priests do this, but because the organization they work for covers-up their crimes which enables the abuser to find more people to abuse.The fact that the organization has done this all along should be enough to make it a 'person' organization, without welcome in polite society. In the eyes of reasonable people the reaction of the church, hiding behind it's own pious robes, is the condemnation of the organization that agrees to the cover-up in order to preserve IT'S GOOD NAME..

If you grew up fundy, you know at least one story about the 16-year old girl and the "youth leader." I'm struggling to think of any religion that I haven't heard of having some kind of sexual abuse story. It's inherent in the idea of "holy men."

Hearing is one sense that is useless if you can't see what is right in front of you and continue being blind to reality. The concept of god is just an elaborate out of control mass denial of Humans shortcomings and lack of solutions when all is driven by the mad rush for material comforts that never is fulfilled without so much suffering. A big lie, repeated over and over becomes de-facto "knowledge" despite the outrageous claims that are unsubstantiated and indeed contrary to all known physics and eyewitness accounts. ShakeUp

Nah, all this nonsense called religion is the real enemy. To be spiritual is fine; life is an incredible gift, and there is great mystery in the complexity of consciousness. The luminous and transcendent can be embraced, while rejecting all systems of religion. The day humanity can actually do this, the world will instantly be a better place. There is no spirit world interacting with ours, there’s only you and I, and our will to do good or evil by our fellow humans. Division keeps people from doing said good, and religion divides people far more than bringing us together. ✌🏼

The church is approved by the head-master God, or so it is believed. Priests needing power and a sexual outlet to maintain their vows of celibacy, replace normal sexuality with pedophilia. In the aftermath, honoring the church mythology as God is more important than the protection of children, so to protect the church they must protect the displaced sexual expression that finds its victims in the weak and the most vulnerable-the children of God. These offenders are not pedophiles who the church hides, these abusing priests are a symptom of an unhealthy relationship with sex and power over people, in the preservation of a mythology proffered as power over nature, a nature that when twisted to the will of man as god becomes made sick and compulsive. They are priests twisted into pedophiles by superiority, power and an obsession for the control found in becoming an imagined god. Our nature is born of nature and nurture, but when the nurture runs the expanse of imagination in becoming a god, the unimaginable can happen.

The question is what will the Attorney General do to prosecute? Nothing. The State has a rule of Statute of Limitations into which crimes of sexual assault cannot be prosecuted by any State's AG. It stands to reason that the public applying pressure on Rome to do something about it is a misguided last resort for action but not frivolous. The institutions themselves must be abolished or subject to prosecution for its abuses as hot houses and nurseries cultivating victims who later repeat these actions on the next generation of youths. Pedophilia produces pedophiles, at the same time, bring about the destruction of the family and thus society. The hypocrisy of the victims is that the cumulative effects of abuse comes out as a cry but the cumulative effects of the incarceration of young people in the border is a moot sacrifice. Likewise the cumulative effects of poisons exposing workers, janitors, etc., with illness that turn up in the future are not prosecutable offenses. All this says the State is not grounded in society but emerges from society as a political institution that has no responsibility in resolving abuses in society and the abuses of industry, church and state on the public. Perpetrators are rewarded and promoted is a means of dodging accountability to the society they regulate and control through its laws. In effect, all individuals in society are subjugated by these institutions. Going further the recent 24 deaths of youths in New Haven Park, Connecticut from heroin and synthetic marijuana are victims of two other institutions of the State's doing. Cartels and the drug war prosecuted by the president and the black market the State does nothing about.

More evidence that there is no god - or at the very least no benevolent god. If a benevolent god existed and had any power over events on Earth, surely it would ensure that its representatives on Earth did not do things like this. Even if a god was selfish, surely it would prevent such things just for the sake of appearances.
