Abuse Payout For Pedophile Priests
...I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication ...the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
(Rev. 17:1-6)
"These religious figures should have been responsible for protecting children, but instead raped and molested them," he added.

A US Jesuit order has agreed to pay $166.1 million to compensate nearly 500 victims of decades-long "horrific" sexual and psychological abuse by priests in five US states, lawyers said Friday. The US Northwest chapter of the Rome-based Society of Jesus agreed to the payout -- which lawyers said is the biggest by a religious organization in the United States -- as part of bankruptcy proceedings. Most of those abused by priests from the Oregon Province -- the Jesuit order which covers the states of Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Idaho and Montana -- were Native Americans at mission schools on Indian reservations. "This settlement recognizes that the Jesuits betrayed the trust of hundreds of young children in their care, and inflicted terrible atrocities upon them," said lawyer Blaine Tamaki. "These religious figures should have been responsible for protecting children, but instead raped and molested them," he added.
Victims of the abuse by the Catholic-following order have been watching the case closely, including Clarita Vargas, who said the announcement marked "a day of reckoning and justice." "I feel that nothing can compensate for the loss of being whole and being allowed to be a child and growing up in a healthy environment," she told the Oregonian newspaper. "But this will start us and continue to help us on our path to healing," she added. Katherine Mendez, 53, told how she was abused by Father John Morse, a Jesuit priest, when she entered the St. Mary's Mission boarding school in Omak, Washington state aged 11. "Father Morse started abusing me almost immediately when I arrived at St. Mary's Mission," a lawyers' statement quoted her as saying. "I kept the sexual molestation hidden in the dark, in my soul, for years and years. "Finally, when I came forward and saw that others did too, it was as if the blanket that had hidden our secret was pulled off and we could move into the light again."
Thirty-eight of the claims involve sexual abuse by Morse, who now lives in a retirement home financed by the Jesuits, it said. Forty-nine of the victims represented by Tamaki were sexually abused when they were eight or younger. The settlement also asks the Jesuits to provide a written apology to the victims, and share documents of importance to victims, such as their personal medical records, he said. The abuse took place from the 1940s and continued through to the 1990s, he said. Of the nearly 500 claims, nearly 200 were Alaskan claims brought by John Manly of California law firm Manly & Stewart. Tamaki, whose firm represented nearly a third of the non-Alaskan clients, said he hoped the settlement would help bring closure. "Although the abuse they suffered was horrific, my clients are hopeful that, with the Jesuits' acknowledgement of wrongdoing, changes will be made so that that this type of abuse can be prevented in the future. "In other words, the church needs to correct flaws that have allowed this to happen," he said (These are not mere flaws but wicked sins from demon possessed "pastors" from a false church called the Bride of Satan and the Mother of Harlots).
Patrick Lee, head of the Oregon Province, declined to confirm details of the settlement. "Due to the Society of Jesus, Oregon Province's current Chapter 11 bankruptcy status, as well as out of respect for the judicial process and all involved, we will not comment on today's announcement," Lee said. "The province continues to work with the creditors committee to conclude the bankruptcy process as promptly as possible," he added in a statement.
Priest Abuse Victims Protest At Vatican

Priest abuse victims protest at Vatican

Victims of sex abuse by priests across the world took their calls for justice to Pope Benedict XVI's door on Sunday, yelling "Shame!" at a Vatican official in an angry protest. Around 60 protesters – victims of abuse and their families – gathered near St. Peter's Basilica with banners and torches and shouted "Shame on you!" at Father Federico Lombardi, the Vatican's spokesman, when he appeared. Victims from Australia, Belgium, The Netherlands and the United States held up banners saying "The Pope protects paedophile priests," "Church without abuse" and "Pope on trial." "Enough is enough," said Bernie McDaid, victim and co-founder of Survivor's Voice, the US group behind the protest. "Somewhere tonight in Africa a missionary is having his way with a child, taking his body for pleasure and robbing his soul, and nothing will be done to stop the perpetrator," he said.
The victims had hoped to lead a candlelit vigil to the edge of St Peter's Square to leave personal messages for the leader of the Roman Catholic Church. Vatican cardinals claim sex abuse claims have been orchestrated by enemies of the Pope. But the Vatican refused to give permission to enter the square and 25 police officers blocked the torch-bearing protesters from walking up the wide avenue that leads to the Basilica. In the end only Gary Bergeron, who co-founded the US group with Mr McDaid, and another victim managed to walk up to the Vatican, though they put out their torches before entering the square. "The continued acceptance of the systemic sexual abuse of children is nothing less than a crime against humanity," said Mr Bergeron. "This isn't an attack on faith or religion, it's about behaviour and ethics," said Marco Lodo Rizzini, a spokesman for child victims of abuse from Italy's Antonio Provolo Institute for the Deaf, many of whom attended the demonstration.
Sixty-seven deaf and speech-impaired children at the Catholic institute in the city of Verona were abused by priests and lay staff between the 1950s and 1980s. "The Pope keeps saying child abuse is a crime, but he needs actually to take some concrete action," said Mr Lodo Rizzini. Claims of clerical paedophilia have emerged from across Europe and the United States, with the Church accused of not acting quickly or firmly against priests involved and even covering up the problem. The Church is grappling with its worst crisis in years since the publication in November 2009 of a report revealing serial abuse of children by priests in Ireland and a subsequent cover-up, with similar cases unveiled in countries including Belgium and Germany. (This has been going on for centuries, just now people are getting enough sense to be outraged and speak out about these vile, demonic birds).
Secrecy Won't Heal A Pedophile Scandal

Secrecy Won't Heal A Pedophile Scandal
By The LA Times

The names of church officials should be included on the confidential documents to make good on the L.A. archdiocese's vow of transparency and accountability in its pledge to help heal old wounds. New Archbishop Jose Gomez should allow the names of Catholic Church officials to be included on the confidential documents so the L.A. archdiocese can make good on its vow of transparency and accountability. After four years of waiting to learn the back story of the sex-abuse scandal that rocked the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, victims still face one obstacle — the release of thousands of pages of confidential church documents. Victims of clergy abuse say that release of the personnel files of dead, convicted or admitted pedophile priests will reveal the truth of the hierarchy's complicity, just as it did in Boston when a court compelled church leaders to turn over a trove of papers that showed how officials protected priests from prosecution and shuffled them from parish to parish.
Survivors of childhood abuse have long held out hope for a similar result in Los Angeles. A series of settlements totaling $710 million between the archdiocese and more than 562 victims was supposed to pave the way for a review of more than 200 priests' files long kept secret. Last week, however, the victims again were told to wait, this time by a court-appointed referee who said he was inclined to release some of the documents publicly, but only after redacting the names of high-ranking church officials cited in them. His decision follows a request by the archdiocese to edit out the names. Such a move would only delay justice and raise serious doubts about the Catholic Church's commitment to transparency and accountability in its handling of the decades-long scandal that created a worldwide controversy and eroded the church's moral authority. (Doubt no longer, if you just believed what God said in the Bible you would know the Catholic church is the Bride of Satan).
Cardinal Roger Mahony has retired as head of the archdiocese. His legacy will be mixed. He has repeatedly said he sought to remove pedophiles from jobs in which they had access to minors and that he adopted new programs to protect children, including fingerprinting and background checks on individuals who work in the church's schools and parishes. But his public apologies and acts of contrition have done little to assuage the anger of hundreds of men and women who say the church did nothing to protect them from sexual abuse and everything to keep the truth hidden.
His successor, Archbishop Jose Gomez, now has an important role to play. He can help restore some credibility to the archdiocese by allowing the release of the documents in full, including the church leaders' names. The move would not be unprecedented. Two judges who oversaw similar settlements against the dioceses of Orange and San Diego never made broad findings that the names of the hierarchy should be redacted from documents that were released. Such a decision by Gomez would signal that he is not interested in protecting the church over the welfare of its flock, and would go a long way toward making good on the church's promise to help heal old wounds.
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty (II Cor. 6:14-18).
