Dolan Calls Child Victims Act "Unjust" To Church

[olegramps]

44. I whole heartedly agree with you.

This law applies to ANYONE who has abused a child. It is not restricted to those who were abused by their beloved pedophile priests. This includes their "saintly" Pope John Paul II who was a close friend and supporter of Father Marcial Maciel who was accused of abusing numerous young boys and fathering children. He protected him until hs death because he was a major source of recruitment of young boys, almost entirely in poverty, with a promise of a free education who were encouraged to become priests.

When Cardinal Ratzinger was elected pope, he removed Marciel from his position as head of the Legions of Christ and ordered him to spend the remainder of his life in solitude with no public ministry. When the scandal became known, many church leaders called for the disbandment of the Legions of Christ and would not allow them to operate in the dioceses. Those who opposed their recruitment tactics believed that this was a primary contributing factor that resulted in the pedophile scandal. Young boys and girls who attended Catholic schools were subjected to the propaganda that a life of celibacy and dedication was a noble cause that was a blessing and the most pleasing to God. It is not in the least an exaggeration that sex of any sort was considered to be a filthy topic that was only excused by procreation. Young boys were threaten that masturbation was a sure ticket to hell as was "impure thoughts" and if they faltered they should rush to confession least the die and be burn in the fires of hell for eternity. Unfortunately, for those who bought this nonsense, their quest to suppress their sexual nature far too often had tragic consequences when it manifest itself in abuse of children. It appeared to mental health care professionals that their indoctrination had left them in a state of perpetual warped adolescence with inablity of establish mature sexual relationships. It was certainly not a problem of homosexuality that the church attempted to attribute to their actions, but the direct result of suppression of healthy and nomal sexual development with association of sex with depravity and lust.
