Documents show Vatican was told about US priest who may have molested 200 boys

NEW YORK - Milwaukee's Roman Catholic archbishop warned a top Vatican office led by future Pope Benedict XVI about a priest who may have molested as many as 200 deaf boys, according to documents obtained by The New York Times, but the priest never was defrocked.
The documents were provided by two lawyers who have filed lawsuits alleging the Archdiocese of Milwaukee didn't take sufficient action against the Rev. Lawrence Murphy. The priest, who died in 1998, worked at the former St. John's School for the Deaf in St. Francis from 1950 to 1975.
In 1996, then-Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert G. Weakland sent letters about Murphy to the Vatican office called the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which was led from 1981 to 2005 by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, the future pope. Weakland received no response from Ratzinger, the Times reported.
Eight months later, the second in command at the doctrinal office, Cardinal Tarciscio Bertone - now the Vatican's secretary of state - told the Wisconsin bishops to begin secret disciplinary proceedings, according to the documents. But Bertone halted that process after Murphy wrote to Ratzinger saying he already had repented, was ailing and that the case's statute of limitations had run out, the Times reported.
The documents contain no response from Cardinal Ratzinger.
Weakland also wrote to a different Vatican office in March 1997, saying an attorney's impending lawsuit would make the case public.
The documents emerged even as the Vatican deals with an ever-widening church abuse scandal sweeping several European countries. Benedict last week issued an unprecedented letter to Ireland addressing the 16 years of church coverup scandals here. But he has yet to say anything about his handling of a case in Germany known to have developed when, as cardinal, he oversaw the Munich Archdiocese from 1977 to 1982.
The Rev. Federico Lombardi, a spokesman for the Vatican, told the Times in a written statement that the Vatican did not receive Murphy's case until 1996, years after civil authorities investigated and dropped it. Lombardi also said Murphy's poor health and a lack of more recent allegations were factors in the decision not to defrock him. He noted "the Code of Canon Law does not envision automatic penalties."
The Times obtained the Murphy documents from Jeff Anderson and Mike Finnegan, attorneys for five men who have sued the Milwaukee archdiocese alleging fraud. The newspaper said the documents included letters between bishops and the Vatican, victims' affidavits, the handwritten notes of an expert on sexual disorders who interviewed Murphy and minutes of a final meeting on the case at the Vatican.
Anderson said he would email the documents to The Associated Press on Thursday. He said in a phone interview Wednesday night that they show the Vatican was more concerned about possible publicity than about the abuse allegations.
"Instead of removing him from the priesthood, they just gave him a free pass," Anderson said. "In this case, it's a free pass at the highest level."
After Murphy was removed from the school in 1974, he went to northern Wisconsin, where he spent the rest of his life working in parishes, schools and, according to one lawsuit, a juvenile detention centre.
Previously released court documents show Weakland oversaw a 1993 evaluation of Murphy that concluded the priest likely assaulted up to 200 students at the school.
Weakland resigned as archbishop in 2002 after admitting the archdiocese secretly paid $450,000 to a man who accused him of sexual abuse.

This isn't going away...

There is about to be a mass exodus out of the church...

This is really big... Ratz will have no other choice but to leave.

If he knew and did not remove then he must remove himself.

[AWSRevMel]

The GOD of Abraham, YHWH demands that HIS Children rebuke hypocrisy, rebuke unrighteous scribes and pharisees, Christ taught us to ask the Father to DELIVER us FROM EVIL and to LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION. Mass Exodus from CAESAR is DELIVERANCE from more than 2000 Years of BONDAGE for ALL. The Rat will not go without trying to take many out with him. The UnHoly See, the true Fearmongers and Evil Satanic Force behind Eugenics, HAARP, the fake Swine Flu Epidemic, Fake Wars, Market Falls, etc.

fuck the pope!!! and his corrupt catholic regime!!!!

[Silberdachs]

German law says a paedophile "cannot be prosecuted 10 years after his victim reaches the age of 18."

And Cardinal Ratzinger as Vatican chief investigator of church paedophiles wrote a letter in 2001 to all Bishops requiring that accusations of priest paedophilia must be held secret until 10 years after a victim reaches the age of 18.

Does two plus two equal four?

Or am I missing something?

Shakespeare once said the prince of darkness is a gentleman now i know what the poet meant.

[irir123]

the passionate / vehement objective of the chruch to prevent ppl from using condoms in Africa, its opposition to abortion and its slogan 'no children to be left behind' makes sense now!

so, all the children of the world, thou have been created to bend down and show your backside to the probing extensions of priests, pastors and ministers - for the kingdom of heaven cometh soon with each abuse

ah, thus lie the judeo-christian-islamic traditions in tatters!

[barbsinclair]

The Vatican Rat and his church's / temples organized and ruled by mankind are exactly the same as all religious earthly temples organized and ruled by mankind world wide; there is no difference. They are all of this present evil religious world, they all preach "another testament" - they all pervert the gospel of Jesus Christ; that is why disgusting things happen in them all!

Let them be accursed Gal 1: 3-9

Ps82:8 "Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations"

. Being catholic myself, I don't need to go to church to pray to God. God is everywhere and is forgiving. So why do we need churches or priests??? It's time we spoke out about this and not bury our heads in the sand. Pass this on if you agree.
