I meant to highlight this over the weekend, but it slipped my mind. P.Z. Myers points out a stunning finding about sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in Belgium:
Investigators, working with the support of the Belgian Catholic Church received 475 complaints of child abuse committed in the 1950s through to the late 1980s by Catholic clergy.
“We can say that no congregation escapes sexual abuse of minors by one or several of its members,” the commission concluded.
The 200-page report, published on Friday, contains testimonies from some 124 anonymous victims, revealing that abuse for most began at the age of 12.
It noted a “high number of suicides” with 13 deaths and six attempts attributed to “sexual abuse by a cleric”.
“We are talking here about anal and oral abuse, forced and mutual masturbation,” said Peter Adriaenssens, the psychiatric specialist in paedophilia who chaired the commission.
There’s your moral authority for the world, the Roman Catholic Church.
P.Z. sums it up:
Every congregation has a horror story about an abusive priest. That says something. This isn’t about a rare event — it’s about a common risk associated with growing up Catholic in Belgium.
Sick and scary, isn’t it? And unless further investigation reveals a nefarious Vatican plot to send all the child molesters to Belgium, it’s frightening to think what similar investigations in other nations will turn up.
Abortion of unborn homosexuals & transexuals are justified. The world is a better place w/o homosexuality & w/o sex changes. Impotence is good for homos.
An abortion of a comment, left by an abortion of a human.
Abortion,
Who the hell are you and what are you doing trolling this site? And whatever in the world does a report about the sex-saturated Catholic Church have to do with abortion anyways?
His mom wanted to abort him for being such an abortion, but she was Catholic, and now he has to wander the world with his prehensile tail looking for people to be better than.
Back to reality (and f**k off, abortion troll-twit), rock on Belgium for stepping in and actually investigating the Church’s many crimes. Is any other country doing this?
I certainly hope it will serve as a motivating factor to get other nations to look into it, Tom.
You made some wrong conclusions about me, but thanks for the angry replies. To start with, I’m not Judeo-Christian, nor am I Moslem. I see something wrong with homosexuality & sex changes. My point on this is that homosexual Catholic priests have homolested young boys. By aborting unborn homos, the incidence of homosexuality is reduced, thereby resulting in the abortion of homosexual Catholic priests who homolest.
Anyhow, if you homos wish to have a dialogue with me here, then you’re welcome to do so. Your replies do prove my point which is that you’re mean.
I don’t think anyone here has ‘jumped to a conclusion’ about you, abortion, except that you are a troll trying to stir up trouble. No one claimed you were of any religious persuasion, so what the hell are you yammering about? So, you ‘see something wrong’ with gayness & gender reassignment? Too bad. On the other hand, I see something wrong with trolls commenting on things they know nothing about! ‘Mean’? You’re the only one here who is ‘mean’. Now get lost.
Don’t feed the troll, y’all.
It’s obviously E-mail Time at the Adult Daycare.
Thanks Devin for replying. If not aborting the homosexuals, then making the homos impotent does help the homosexual men. They can’t get VD & AIDS. Sex is supposed to be between a man & a woman when 1 considers that sex is supposed to be about procreation but people have made it recreational.
But again, aborting unborn homosexuals will lower the incidence of homo priests who molest young boys. Hopefully by my posts angering you homosexuals, it’ll raise the stress levels & this among other things will make you & the homosexual priests impotent with the homo priests being unable to homolest young boys.
AND ban-hammer!
Fun, I haven’t used that in a while.
someone is thinking about homosexuals a little too much.
