Pope apologizes for abuses in Canada
Pope Benedict XVI apologized Wednesday to native Canadians who were physically and sexually abused at church-run boarding schools they were forced to attend, saying he was praying they would heal.
From the 19th century until the 1970s, more than 150,000 Indian children in Canada were forced to attend state-funded Christian schools as an effort to assimilate them into Canadian society. The Canadian government has admitted that physical and sexual abuse was rampant in the schools, with students beaten foe speaking their native languages.
5-4-07 Nearly 150 Roman Catholic clergymen in Ireland's biggest archdiocese have been linked to child sex abuse allegations over the past 67 years. The statistics for Dublin archdiocese were released days before the opening of hearings into how the Church handled abuse claims. Recommend books: The Changing Face of the Priesthood by Donald Cozzens, priest. Leading Catholic authority documents the immorality in Catholic seminaries. "An NBC reports celibacy in the church found that anywhere from 23 to 58 percent of the catholic clergy have a homosexual orientation. Other studies find that approximately half of American priests and ;are homosexually oriented." The Power and the Glory by Graham Green Written over 50 years ago and includes the priesthood of a Latino priest:... http://www.bishop-accountability.org/...

Remember leaders of different Christian sects, the will of God is undivided Christianity. Give up your churches, no more Catholic, Protestants, Adventist, JW etc. If you think that I am wrong then prove that you are right. Ive asked the Lord for the two simultaneous explosion of volcano in the U.S. within this month of December, pray that it wouldnt happen, if despite of your prayer it does happen, then know that God is with me therefore you have to listen to me.
When I was 10 years old I became a mass server to better please God and the priest sodomized me about twice a week for the next 3 years. During this period of time I was getting beat up at home by my father at least several times a week and sodomized by the priest several times a week when I wasn't home. And at that age I was usually either at home, school, or the priests house at any given time.
@Joe80751 I find that horrific and wish you well in whatever form of 'healing' you can find to be of comfort. However, I was an altar-server for 11 years, went on weekend retreats etc and never got abused. It's perhaps worth putting in perspective that these are generally minute occurences in teh church and that possibly as much, if not more abuses take place/are committed by preachers in other churches (though less controversial obviously).Mybe not just an RC thing, but in all walks of life
Why is it soo common in the Church. Because well the Church has forgotten the true teachings of Jesus. The Church has put a road block on preist in getting married, they have gone against the laws of God. They have forgotten that men and women are made for each other. The True Teachings of Jesus are no where to be found in the Church, instead they rely on following pointless rituals
This expriest is a mental case.He had a breakdown and is hell bent on revenge. This man only preaches hatred and he sits in judgement on catholics.Remove the plank from your own eye.He is a horible man.He does not preach the gosple only hatred for the Catholic church.What would happen if he did the same thing with the Islamic faith,Baptists,Jews?He is obsessed with preaching hatred.
Your pride in your fucked up religion has you totally in denial. You're deluding yourself - which is one thing - but here you are trying to delude others. Oh, if only there was a hell for ignorant evildoers like yourself!
If a person or a priest is evil and vile that does not transfer over to the entire church. that is like blaming the general public for the crimes of the societies criminals.
Absolutely! An indepependent (!) study into abuse in general (relating to all persons in all positions, secular or not) would make for interesting (though less controversial) reading.
John Highham described anti-Catholicism as "the most luxuriant, tenacious tradition of paranoiac agitation in American history". Historian Arthur Schlesinger Sr. has called Anti-Catholicism "the deepest-held bias in the history of the American people."
when will the brain washed people of the catholic church realize their church is run by a bunch of perverts that have caused untold horrors on its congreation for at least decades.what part of the churches bingo money being used to pay off little boys parents is it the catholics fail to understand???i can see why the ancients wrote this pope would be the last!!!damn the catholic church to hell quit supporting their abuse of mankind see them for the perverts they obviously are.close the pope down
