Rick Raw: Catholic Church Still Infested with Pedophile Priests–New Priest Sex Scandal Surfaces in Ireland

By Rick Grant Commentary rickgrant01@comcast.net

When are Catholics going to learn that their Church is nothing but a medieval money making machine, that, for years, has harbored innumerable pedophile priests? For years, the Vatican has tried to hide these heinous crimes from their parishiners. This cancer within the Catholic Church continues to make sordid headlines of fractured families filing lawsuits, causing the Vatican to hire expensive lawyers.

Consequently, the Vatican has been paying out hundreds of millions of dollars in lawsuit judgements. Today, all the Pope or the Bishops can do is say "we’re sorry," and go back to covering up sexual abuse by legions of their priests.

To exacerbate this outrage, the Vatican leadership has refused to face up to this endemic scourge. They have moved these predatory sex deviants to other parishes, instead of having them arrested and owning up to the scandals. In some cases, the church offered these sex abusing priests "therapy" and, convinced it cured them, placed them back in charge of parishes.

The truth is: Pedophilia has proven to be incurable. Law enforcement experience teaches that when these deviants are released from custody, they offend again and again until they’re taken off the streets and jailed for life.

Thus, once the pedophile priests had been "treated" and relocated, they continued to offend, ruining the lives of countless families over many years of abuse. The cases are gut wrenching. Many sexually abused children were embarrassed to come forward until later in their adult life.

Just yesterday, a woman’s awful pedophile priest story ran on CNN. She grew up with a parish priest nightly having sex with her, her sister, and her widowed mother. Her sister committed suicide and her mother went crazy. She is now in therapy and suing the diocese. The priest died in prison.

Now, a new series of pedophile priest sex scandals has surfaced in Ireland, a traditional Catholic stronghold. Pope Benedict XVI said he was "truly sorry" for the abuse suffered by the victims at the hands of Catholic priests in Ireland.

Indeed, the Pope’s apology doesn’t even begin to redeem the filthy rich Vatican hierarchy of its responsibility. These old men in robes are corrupt money grubbing swine who are probably pedophiles themselves.

Indeed, the Vatican has known for years about the infestation of pedophiles in their midst. Yet, they have chosen to keep it secret by offering to pay off victims under the table, or shuffling pedophile priests around to sweep the problem under the rug, rather than admit the problem exists.

Yet shockingly, blindly devoted Catholics still believe that the Vatican has their best interests at heart. Hear this fools: The Catholic Church is a big, bloated relic of the past when people were burned at the stake and the Pope was a political manipulator.

The Vatican is afraid that this scandal will bring down its bloodsucking empire. In fact, they seem to have preferred to payoff the lawsuits than call the police on their pedophile priests.

In a recent CNN report by Terence McKeirman, he says, "As the depth and range of the secrecy that allowed child sexual abuse to continue within the Catholic Church is revealed, some governments are becoming comfortable with the notion that they must become more active. The U.S. should follow suit. Congress should convene hearings on the true scope of child sexual abuse within religious institutions."

We know that cult leaders use their power over their flocks to sexually abuse their children.

Likewise, the Catholic Church is like a gigantic cult of religious hocus-pocus.
So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that any religious group could be corrupt. Religious groups are preying on people’s need to have spiritual interaction. Organized religions are nothing more than money making businesses.

Now that the issue of pedophile priests is global, the Vatican has its worst PR nightmare in its history. If I were Catholic, I would immediately cut off all ties with the religion. Even devout Catholics are leaving the church in droves.

My main point is: You don’t need an organized religion telling you what to do and how to live your life. You can have deeply spiritual beliefs without joining these money making scams.

If the Pope says it’s a sin to use birth control, ask him is he willing to raise all of your unwanted eight kids? He only said that to assure the Vatican has more Catholics to give more money to fill up the Vatican Bank. Despite the millions the Vatican has paid out in sexual abuse cases, the Vatican Bank still has billions in assets and valuable art.
