Just as twisted as the above but on a different level is the priest who while buttoning the cassock of the young altar boy fondles the boy's genitals. Ten minutes later, he is using those same fingers to lift and consecrate a host. In yet another few minutes, he is using those same fingers to place the host on the tongues of adoring parishioners seeking communion with Jesus. He moves blithely from one despicable act to the next with no remorse, no conscience or one so suppressed as not to exist. He has no fear, not even the wrath of God. His abominable sacrilege and desecration of children and the host continues Sunday after Sunday.
How can anyone claiming ties to humanity perpetuate these acts by moving offending priests from parish to parish? Yet, bishops, cardinals and popes have done it as routinely as saying mass. First they ignored the complaints. Then, when the complaints grew too loud, they simply moved the priest to another unsuspecting parish, with unsuspecting parents and vulnerable children. With a fifteen hundred year history of sexually abusing children, the RCC can hardly expect us to believe they "Didn't know!" Bishops knew children were being raped, sodomized and molested, but simply did not care. Behavior such as this is both heartless and inhuman. For centuries, bishops have knowingly tossed children to predator priests as easily as throwing peanuts to an elephant. Consider the following: In Canada, there are over 50,000 aboriginal children missing. They either died or were murdered in residential schools across the country.
"An international tribunal found the government and several churches guilty of the crime of genocide. Ever since June, 1998, when an international tribunal in Vancouver found your government, the RCMP, and the Catholic, United, Anglican, and Presbyterian churches guilty of acts of Genocide against native people, the world has waited to see if your government and the churches in question would respond to the charges brought against you by survivors of the residential schools. Your government and these churches have shown by your silence that you do not dispute the charges of mass murder and Genocide being made against you.7"
The story from Ireland is just as bad.
In Ireland, several commissions on Clergy Sexual Abuse have filed their reports over the past few years and each report from the Ferns Report to the most recent Dublin Report unequivocally condemns the Roman Catholic Church for their dismal failure in dealing with priests who abuse. The reports deal with the thousands of Irish children abused while the bishops of the church in Ireland did nothing to put a halt to it.
Why is it that bishops have no fear? There are a couple of possibilities: either they know there is no God, think they are gods or they believe they will suffer no consequences because they were appointed by god. The first one is difficult to prove, but there is a plethora of evidence for the latter two. Defying criminal law, while hiding behind a false interpretation of "separation of church and state," bishops believe they are the only ones who can censure the criminal acts of a priest. Believing they are appointed by God, they act horrified when anyone has the effrontery to cast aspersions on their character and they have history on their side because of the thousands of cases where bishops knowingly shuffled pedophiles, to date not one has been jailed. Not one bishop has paid the consequences for the most egregious crimes against humanity dating back a thousand years.
Somewhere during first thousand years, after the Council of Elvira, the hierarchy realized there could be no such thing as a celibate priest and the stringent rules were relaxed. Concurrent with this knowledge, men in the hierarchy have lost touch with both their humanity and the teachings of Jesus.
