Yeah. Never reported family friend attempted to rape when I was 9. Never told parents either as grandmother was in hospital with terminal illness and they had enough to deal with and the guy threatened me so there was that.
I didn't tell anyone and I was in denial for many years until I finally told my best friend about the first time. The second time, I told a few friends months after it happened. I never reported either instance. Seven of my friends have been raped (that I know of) and a few more sexually assaulted (but not raped).…
Seems to me that the easy thing would be to seize $17M in real estate assets, starting with the Cathedral.
In the mean time, place that fucker in jail for contempt, and levy fines that double every day. At some point the victims will own everything.
Because they are clearly making assloads of profit, even if they made up a special word for it.
This is what I want to say to my co-workers in the morning who try to chat with me as soon as I walk in the door.
The Muslim faith is not a corporate structure like Catholicism is. There is no head of the Muslim faith, there is no equivalent to the Vatican, no equivalent to a bishop's authority, no equivalent to the hierarchy. And Islam is more akin to Christianity than to Catholicism. As there are many varieties of…
Strip tax exempt status from all religious institutions and make them all civilly and criminally liable for their actions. The Catholic church in particular is just evil and doesn't even try and hide it.
And the church as a whole has a very long history of pulling shit like this. The UN had two separate panels last year devoted to criticizing the Catholic Church for not reporting instances of abuse, shielding guilty clergy members from prosecution, and not paying appropriate reparations.
It's news like this that makes me wish I believed in Hell, just so I knew people like this were going to get there's.
I came here to say exactly this. Were there real justice in this world, that man would be in jail.
There's just no way anyone can be devoted to anything even vaguely resembling Christ's message and think this is an acceptable way to behave. No way.
The sooner churches are treated like any other institutions the better. How about they pay for their crimes, priests do time in jail and why in world do they not pay taxes?
As an ex-Catholic victim (only of physical abuse, and just once), this literally made me nauseated.
The Catholic Church, and I know I am not the first one to say this, should be prosecuted under the RICO law as it applies to organized crime. I gave Pope Francis the benefit of the doubt but if he is going to allow this under his watch, I'm officially done with any hope that this evil group of people are ever going to…
Timothy Dolan is evil. He has proven time and again that he is a hypocritical, double-talking evil, bullshit artist. None of this surprises me. Not a single bit of it.
My family is presbyterian, and the church we attended used to own a few properties out in the boonies which they used for church retreats and the such. Now the presbytery set up a deal with the archdiocese where they let catholic church groups use the properties for their retreats as well, and long story short, a…
If they have $55 million in funds, they're already defrauding people. I'm pretty sure that the Bible and the Pope say that money is supposed to be going to the needy in those communities, not kept in investment funds. The people who donated that money didn't donate it so that it could be given away in sex abuse…
HAHA Sometimes Kanye is just the best.
