LightAngel Posted October 5, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I'm out of words! "The commission highlighted a “cruel indifference” on the part of the French Catholic Church for victims of the “systemic” abuse. Speaking at the release of the report, the commission president Jean-Marc Sauvé said the church showed "a profound and even cruel indifference towards the victims" of abuse, up until the early 2000s, when the victims were "not believed, not heard." https://www.euronews.com/2021/10/05/report-set-to-shed-light-on-sexual-abuse-in-france-s-catholic-church 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+joc Posted October 5, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 5, 2021 There is a reason the Catholic Church is so secretive...I mean, beyond just protecting the bones of the ancient Jesus. Consider that in every country where the Catholic Church thrives...this same systemic abuse of children has been going on for centuries... ...we be talking millions, and millions, and millions of abused children... 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeGorilla Posted October 5, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) and that's just France... I've seen seemingly innocent Catholics become extremely defensive when the subject is brought up, they will protect the church with all their might reminds me of a saying, just switch it to Catholics..if you have 90 good cops and 10 bad cops, but the 90 good cops cover for the bad cops, how many bad cops do you have? 100 Edited October 5, 2021 by HandsomeGorilla 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeGorilla Posted October 5, 2021 #4 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I also want to explain that this isn't just 'one and done', this type of thing follows these kids their entire lives and they can never reconcile it. they never develop socially, they don't trust people, they drop out of school, have terrible relationships with others, they turn to drugs and alcohol. the homeless, atleast here, have a frequently common denominator...they were abused 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSlim Posted October 5, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) I'm only surprised that the number of abused kids is lower than I expected. Ave Satanas Edited October 5, 2021 by HSlim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Phantom_Stranger Posted October 5, 2021 #7 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) The Catholics are having a real epidemic with this. Their liberal use of idolatry combined with their prohibition of getting married is leading them to fornicate with children. The Pope really should get rid of the ban on marriage. All he has to do is use his pen to sign the paper, and it is done. Edited October 5, 2021 by Green Lion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Green Lion Are you saying that they should allow priests to have same sex partners in marriage as most of the children affected are boys?

There is obviously something going wrong in there. I think it said in the article that there is 1 aggressor to every 70 victims. I think if they allow marriages again that the straight married priests might root the gay pedophiles out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...the faithful continue to send their boys to become alter boys and...oh my, We trust Father So and So...he would never do that...it's never going to stop you know... ...so when we are talking about the power players in the world...Who has the most money?

Mr Walker Posted October 6, 2021 #12 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) It is shocking, but probably an underestimate, and not confined to clergy. In 2018 in Australia there were (at least) 3100 sexual assaults against children reported and 3900 non- sexual assaults Another source quotes 5828 cases of sexual abuse of children in Australia in 2011-12 The French average (from the statistics' in the OP , while admittedly only counting those from clergy) is about 3000 per year In Australia one report says that 70% of psychiatric patients were abused as children, and another, that 65% of people in prisons were also abused as children Edited October 6, 2021 by Mr Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And therefore, we should work towards understanding each other instead of judging. This isn't easy when it comes to pedophiles! However, to find a cure then we need to understand their disease. And that will be a painful process for everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
