  • Former choirboys of the Regensburger Domspatzen have told SPIEGEL about sexual and physical abuse at two boarding schools attached to the famous Catholic choir. One former choirboy says it's "inexplicable" that the Pope's brother Georg Ratzinger, a former head of the choir, didn't know about it.

  • ..... "so der Jurist aus Marktheidenfeld (Bayern). „Es besteht der Verdacht, dass die Verbrechen bis in die jüngste Zeit vertuscht und die Täter von einer Pfarrei in die andere versetzt wurden, um sich weiter an Jugendlichen zu vergehen.

    English Translation follows later!

  • Bild-Zeitung von heute:

    "Im Streit um die Missbrauchsfälle in katholischen Einrichtungen hat der Anwalt eines Opfers Strafanzeige gegen Erzbischof Robert Zollitsch und seinen Vorgänger im Amt des Vorsitzenden der Deutschen Bischofskonferenz, Kardinal Karl Lehmann, gestellt. Die Staatsanwaltschaft solle ein Ermittlungsverfahren wegen Strafvereitelung einleiten,

  • Wanted to update what is going on here in Germany.

    First what our Minister of Justice had to say today and how the representatives of the church reacted.

    This is a test message! I will be back.

  • This has been going on for many, many years ~less now of course ~since the bastards are aware that the truth eventually leaks out. I am so PLEASED that I left the Catholic church! It's totally unnatural that Catholic priests aren't allowed to marry ~invariably, priests are sexually &/or mentally screwed-up! Most that I've encountered are closet gays. Why not just allow them to be open about their sexuality? But for GOD's SAKE, leave innocent children ALONE!

    The Vatican sucks! Illuminati sods!

    Thanks for responding, dear Friend!!

    This happened and happens all around the world and has been covered up by the Catholic Church. The last evidence is confirmed in Ireland. It is a traumatic experience for these kids and most of them are only able to talk being adults when they are suffering from the aftermath of this corrosive experience in their current relationships. It is nothing to paper over. It is a systemic cancer in the Catholic Church, may be in others as well?!

  • P.S.

    Have not quoted below for reasons avoiding to post my own analysis. On my channel there are several videos dealing with this crime and questioning the church in general on which I left comments and I will do so on this video.

  • But apparently they also feel that they are not bound by secular obligations."

    The media in Germany finally picked up on this crime starting out with an article in the Spiegel magazine followed by others a couple of days ago. I will favorite this video on my channel and come back with further comments.

  • By the way, in an interesting side issue, the papal nuncio was asked to appear before an Irish committee on foreign affairs to talk about this problem. He haughtily replied that it was "not the practice of the Holy See that Apostolic Nuncios appear before Parliamentary Commissions", which is rather interesting. The Vatican has a rather interesting status as a sovereign, independent state with membership in the UN, and pretends to be a participating nation in the world community of states.

    ...

  • ... and how the weakening of faith has been a significant contributing factor in the phenomenon of the sexual abuse of minors". Who knew the whole Catholic church was infested with free-lovin' hippies and godless agnostics and atheists? The way he'll fix the problem is by calling for "a deeper theological reflection" on child buggery. I really don't think it takes much deep thought to see that causing harm to children trusted to your care is a bad idea.

    ... to be continued
