impunity for pedophile priests




A god begging and abusing children

By Andrea D'Atri

When the German bishops have empowered a hotline to report sexual abuse, did not think it was congested with more than 13 000 calls. Since early this year, there were over 300 complaints of physical and sexual abuse committed by priests in the country of the pope, Joseph Ratzinger, where his brother, who is also a priest, was director of a children's choir in which they took some of these episodes.

Save the chief!

The German join the thousands of reports of children abused by priests in other countries. But for the first time, the Pope seemed possible covering up these crimes. No one believes he did not know of these allegations, given that he was archbishop of Munich and then presided over the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (formerly the Inquisition) between 1981 and 2005. So immediately, it launched an operation "cleansing": the Vatican published a manual that says that, in cases of abuse, "we must always follow the civil law with respect to allegations of crimes to the authorities appropriate. "Something new for the Church, where the doctrine said that priests accused of demanding sex or request should be punished with suspension or, in more serious cases, be stripped from the clerical state. In Creole, "the dirty laundry is washed at home, while the Church was covering the criminals in a cloak of impunity ....

With friends like this ...

face of such crisis, bishops and priests from around the world speak and sink more and more.

What earned him the condemnation of gays, lesbians and transsexuals in the trans-Andean country denounced this new attempt to criminalize the Church, with an absurd lie, people who are not straight. An aide to Ratzinger, meanwhile, told reporters that "there is a conspiracy against the Church." The Bishop of Tenerife was much further. On child abuse perpetrated by their colleagues, said: "There may be minor to be pampered and do they do. Boys of 13 who are in close agreement and also forward to it. Even if you're not careful, you cause. "

home ... Why?

In Argentina, there were numerous complaints of abusive priests who went unpunished. The loudest was, perhaps, the priest's Grassi, sentenced to 15 years in prison for sexual abuse and corruption of minors, but that justice freed until the decision is final. Not only that, but also has permission to enter the Foundation who presided, home to poor children, where the crimes were committed.

Who will dare to denounce others, then, knowing that abusers enjoy the highest privileges and even the state funding to support their schools, homes and workshops where they make and are silenced many of these crimes?
