Complicity is a crime, too! My uncle was a priest. He came out of the Catholic Church in the early 80s. He only said there are serious problems in the Church! He never elaborated. Now everyone knows the serious problems!
Imagine the abused they put up with back in the days when IF YOU ACCUSED A TEACHER, PRIEST, COP, TEACHER OF ABUSE YOU GOT IN TROUBLE, CALLED A LIAR.....
I'm starting to think that one of the requirements to become a priest is that fellow priests got to know that you are sick like them and will keep the abuse secret.
Nope, more like she needs to be disbarred for violating the free establishment of religion and democracy. We need to send a message loud and clear to authorities to keep their nose out of the business of the church before they get it cut off.

The movie "SPOTLIGHT" is a true story ...and only covers BOSTON. For those that religious people people who think this is all a joke ....SHAME ON YOU .....PARTICULARLY ALL CATHOLICS!!!! Say nothing and YOU ARE ALL COMPLICIT!!!! We have now found out about potentially and estimated over 20,000 native children in Canada, since the early 1900's, in what was called "RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS" allegedly set up by the Canadian FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS OF THE DAY, for the many decades, AND PRINICIPALLY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, ASSIGNED TO RUN THEM. UNMARKED GRAVES AT OR NEAR THESE SCHOOLS IS NOW THE DISCOVERY SURFACING ....APPARENTLY THANKS TO GROUND RADAR SEARCH TECHNIQUES ....WITH THE RESULTS OF HUNDREDS OF REMAINS BEING DISCOVERED!!!! EVERY FEDERAL CANADIAN GOVERNMENT (PRIME MINISTERS AND ASSIGNED MINISTERS) OF THE DAY, AND CATHOLIC PEOPLE ACROSS CANADA AT THESE SCHOOLS AND PARTICULARLY IN OTTAWA, ALONG WITH EVERY RCMP DETACHMENT ACROSS CANADA IS SUSPECT. WITHOUT A DOUBT, EVERY CANADIAN GOVERNMENT THROUGHOUT THE DECADES HAS FAILED TO DO WHAT IS NECESSARY. AT THE TOP OF THIS LIST OF INDIVIDUALS WILL BE EVERY RCMP CHIEF ACROSS CANADA AS WELL. IT IS TIME TO PUT AN END TO THIS AND FORCE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO RELEASE ALL THEIR DOCUMENTS IMMEDIATELY. APOLOGIES FROM THIS CHURCH ARE COMPLETELY MEANINGLESS AND WITHOUT ANY SINCERITY, HENCE A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. IT IS TIME TO NAME ALL THESE CHURCH "OFFICIALS" FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM, WHO WERE IN ATTENDANCE AT EVERY ONE OF THESE RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS THROUGH THESE MANY DECADES .....AS WELL AS EVERY GOVERNMENT LEADER AND MINISTER ....AND EVERY RCMP OFFICIAL. IF GOVERNMENTS AND POLICE GROUPS ARE NOT PREPARED TO PURSUE THESE OFFENDERS, THEN THEY ARE COMPLICIT IN THESE CRIMES AND SHOULD ALSO BE LEGALLY CHARGED ACCORDINGLY.
@@taxicamel A CATHOLIC PRIEST WRITES TO THE NEW YORK TIMES - MARCH 2015 Dear Brother Journalist: I am a simple Catholic Priest. I am happy & proud of my vocation. I've been living in Angola for 20 years as a Missionary. I have read in a number of publications, especially in your newspaper, the amplified stories of paedophilic Priests, always portrayed in a morbid way with detailed research into past errors in the lives of these Priests. There was one, in a city in the USA in the 70’s; another in Australia in the 80’s; & so forth, some more recent…. Certainly, all these incidents were condemnable! …I feel enormous sadness about the immense harm that some men who should have been signs of the Love of God have been swords in the lives of innocent children. There are no words to justify such acts. There is no doubt that the Church must be on the side of the weak & most vulnerable. For that reason, all the measures that can be taken to prevent these acts & protect the dignity of the children should be an absolute priority. But, isn’t it strange that there is so little news & such lack of interest in the thousands of Priests who are sacrificing their lives daily & dedicating themselves, body & soul, to millions of children, to adolescents & to the most disadvantaged of these in all four corners of the world? I am sure the following would be of no interest to your newspaper: That I've had to transport many starving children along roads that were mined during the 2002 war… in Angola, because the government has been unable to do it & NGO’s have not been authorised; That I've had to bury dozens of children displaced by the war; That we have saved the lives of thousands in Mexico by running the only health centre within a zone of 90,000sq.km & by distributing food & grain; That we have been able to procure education & schools for more than 110,000 children in the last 10 years; It passes without interest that, along with other Priests, we have had to rescue nearly 12,000 people in guerrilla camps, after they were forced to give up their weapons because the UN & government food never arrived; It’s not an interesting news item that a 75year old Priest, Fr. Roberto, traveled all across the city of Luanda, caring for street children, guiding them to safe houses, so that they could be detoxed from the gasoline they inhaled while earning their living as flame throwers; Teaching literacy skills to hundreds of prisoners is no longer news; The other Priests, like Fr. Stephan, organise safe houses, so that the young, maltreated, beaten & even raped can find refuge there; Nor is it of any interest that Fr. Maiato, 80 years old, visits homes for the poor, one by one, comforting the sick & vulnerable; Today, it’s not news that out of 40,000 Priests & religious, more that 6,000 have left their countries & their families to serve their brothers in leper colonies, in hospitals, in refugee camps, in orphanages for children accused of sorcery or whose parents have died from AIDS,…. etc. Or, especially, that most Priests are spending their lives in Parishes & Missions, motivating people to live better and, more importantly, to love better; It's not news that my friend, Fr. Marcus Aurelius, in order to save children during the war in Angola, transported them from Kalulo to Dondo, & that, when returning to his Mission house, he was machine-gunned on the road; that Br. Francis, with 5 female catechists died in an accident on their way to help in the most remote rural areas of the country; That dozens of Missionaries in Angola have died from simple malaria because of poor sanitation; That others have been blown to bits by mines while visiting their faithful; currently, in the cemetery of Kalulo, lie the tombs of the first Priests who arrived in the area …none of them older than 40; It's not news to follow a “normal” Priest doing his daily work; experiencing his troubles & his joys, spending his whole life with no attention in the community he serves. The truth is, that we are not trying to make news, only simply, to bring the “Good News”; this News which, with no fanfare, began on ‘Easter Morning’. A tree that falls makes more noise than a thousand which stand & grow (talking about a ‘fallen’ Priest). A great deal more attention is paid to a Priest who commits an error than to the thousands who give their lives for the myriads of poor & needy. I don’t pretend to apologise for the Church & its Priests. A Priest is neither a hero nor a neurotic. He’s simply a normal man, who, with his human nature, seeks to follow Jesus & to serve Him by serving others. There is in us misery, poverty & fragility, as there is in every human being; but there is also beauty & grandeur, as there is in every creature. When you insist on advancing such a painful theme in an obsessive & persecuting manner, while ignoring the bigger picture of their work, you create truly offensive caricatures of Catholic Priests, & these wound me. I ask only, dear Journalist, that you look for the true, the good & the beautiful. It would greatly elevate your profession. In Christ, Fr. Martin Lasarte, SDB (“My past, Lord, I entrust to Your Mercy; my present to Your Love; my future to Your Providence”) (Taken from “Scandalous Mercy” by Sr. Emmanuel page 86-89)?
I was raised into the Catholic church..at the age of 17 in 1989 ..I started to hear about this..it's the highest form of repulsion and I have not had respect for any religion since..nor do I wish to
@@vincentcharles607 the Roman Catholic church has NEVER taught the gospel. They have systemically REMOVED all guilt from priests and refused to compensate the victims. Catholic churches are NOT christian. Most people make that mistake. They worship 'saints' and the 'mother of God'. They do NOT believe in Jesus Christ and God. Only money and power
@@lorrainearmstrong7587 Yes you can blacklist it but you are wrong about Catholic people not believing in Jesus they read in their declaration of faith at mass it's called the Apostles Creed and Niceen Creed just as the Anglican Church also does, also yes I agree they give too much creedance to Mary and saints. Jesus is the way, truth, life, people should follow him.
@@lorrainearmstrong7587 obviously you are a “born again evangelical “. They all make the same remarks against the Catholic Church. Catholics do not worship saints or the Virgin Mary. Get your facts straight before denigrating an institution you know nothing about. The Roman Catholic Church is a Christian church. Catholics believe in God the Father, The Son and Holy Spirit. Every church has some dark history not that that eliminates what these monsters have done to children, but every church has a history of sexual abuse against children and young adults.
As a young child in Germany, I remember that my uncle was involved in the installation of plumbing in a Catholic nunnery. What they found under the building, deep in the cellar, was horrible, there were the corpses of many new born babies.
I show a documentary about nuns coming forward saying the priests are raping them and getting them pregnant and their forced to have abortions .The nuns tell the mother superior but she tells them to keep quiet.
@@marieSnowtruthjustice There is a God - he chooses to work through human vessels. The Grand designer of the universe sees and knows all. The books will be opened on judgement day. We walk by faith, not sight.
@ I've read that Catholicism was a compromise between the mystery religions of Rome and the teachings of the early church (from Jesus & his followers) The pantheon of roman gods took on the form of "saints" They are representative of archetypal figures meant to be modeled after sun worship. Roman Catholicism is simply sun worship. This is where the term "Mystery Babylon" from the Book of Revelation fits in perfectly.
My parents were adamant I not go to the same Catholic grade school as my 2 much older siblings, even though it was 2 blocks from our house. I got carted clear to the other side of town to the other one for 4 years until we moved closer to it. I never got a straight answer on that one. I know my sister hated her school experience and won't talk about it. I can only guess.
@Mary Carroll, atheist molest too. Yes, indeed. But they don't have a powerful institution to cover up for them. They don't make amends with the bishop, ask forgiveness to Jesus, wear their stupid dresses and preach from the pulpit moral lessons.
Not so simple. As they say society is geared not to look up to the next level. Are the cops more corruption than the district attorneys? the DAs more corrupt than the judges? It appears than the son of the president of the United States is a man of low character. Raw power seems to triumph. The only things that saves us is that often justice prevails because Corruption produces hubris.
I'm so relieved and happy that the little girl's mother believed her about the abuse. For anyone to abuse a child is unforgivable but for a man of God to do so there's not enough punishment. That includes those that covered it up.
Both of you are expressing or condemning an indecent behavoir of a man of the color (priest) which you do not approve of,so any attack should be towards the RCC church not between yourselves. RCC boasts of a membership of over 1 billion and those are the people who should be enlightened to see the deception the clergy does to minors and adults as well.I was a victim at some point and the bad feelings of regret and helplessness made me leave churches for the rest of my life.I dont direct my children towards church people anymore.
Oh geez ya think? When I grew up in the 80's everyone went to church. You were seen as a nice, good family if you did. There were churches of all denominations on every corner of every street block. Now, thankfully most churches are empty and vacant and many others are torn down. Most people are waking up, this is a good sign. I used to go to church every Sunday, my mother was a Sunday school teacher and my sister and I were in the choir. I haven't been to church since I was a child and I would never go back. I am a spiritual person and I believe in God, but even as a small child I knew the church was a farce.
Catholic is religion but not Jesus Christ. He is the way the truth and the.life...he didnt tell us to go raping others..He says in matthew 18 protect the children.. RELIGION SAYS OTHERWISE
One of the 10 commandments says "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour." That's exactly what the church is doing (the false witness).
"It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones." Luke 17: 2 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. " Rev 21: 4 "And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life." Rev 21: 27 We all reap what we sow. "And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still." Rev 22: 10, 11 "Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie." Rev 22: 14, 15 " And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" Rev 21: 1-4 `"And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. And My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places." Isaiah 32: 17, 18 What has been done to children in this church and in other churches/denominations by the clergy is an absolute abomination to God, good. The clergy has a special charge and it would seem many have betrayed that charge. You signed up to do God's work and ended up doing the work of the Deceiver. "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil: that put darkness for light and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! . . . Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel." Isaiah 5: 20,23,24 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy." "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." 'The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all." 2 Cor 13: 14 "Finally, brethern, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK ON THESE THINGS." Phil 4: 8. WATCH & PRAY.
The same thing is happening in our country to this day - priests being quietly shuffled to another place while the young girls/boys are being ridiculed as liars. I wish we had more stable political environment so that these true crimes could finally be thoroughly investigated :-/
Bevalaqua was bishop in Pittsburgh too, also he went to the pro life march with the facade of concern for the unborn child while abusing children, you know where his soul went.
No it isn't. There a lot of everyday Christians like me who reach out to people in need whether the need is physical or spiritual. Are there evil con men who use "religion" to work their evil? Yes, of course. The Bible even warns of such, but should I stop helping people, should I stop combating evil where I find it? I say no. I will continue to "over come evil with good" to the best of my ability.
@@dustyrustymusty3577 Ha! "The bible"! You mean the book that was written in ancient aramaic (a mostly forgotten language) by some guy who heard some story that was already hundreds of years old when he caught a glimpse of it? In a time when it was common belief that the Earth was flat and monsters were awaiting at the edge of it? Oh yeah! Really credible!...
Dolores Cannon spoke of the churches and it was better to have small house studies, etc. This way if someone is in need of something you can help them with food, etc. When you give to the church that money goes for lights, building etc, all wasted money. When we were small my mom went to the church to ask for help they refused and said we needed to give 10 percent. When I found out that the Catholic church killed the Cathars in 1200's for following the book of Love that did it for me. If you look up the Cathar Creed it is amazing I read it everyday.
If you want justice then blame the individual. If you want money then blame the institution. But if you want real healing then ask for for Divine Mercy. Money and hatred will never fix this problem.
And they had the audacity to preach the "missionary position" in Africa. What happened (happens?) over there, we'll probably never know. And ofcourse there are only men allowed in high positions in the church. Sex offenders are allowed to preach, women are not.
I'm wondering why a father older brother uncle or concerned Neighbors wouldn't have gone after one of these priests and take him to the rectory basement and see if God will help him
And mothers who deny that their children have been molested even when told the evidence is there. How ill these mothers are. Instead of erring on the side of caution they push their kids closer to the predators. I know I have 2 sick sisters... that make me sick.

@@jeraldineclark5163 if so they've had opportunity to come forward and receive love, step toward healing. But no, they both pushed vulnerable children closer to the violators, one involving the suspicious death of a baby. No truth. What happened to mothers natural instinct to protect her babies??!!
That's what happened to the priest who fondled altar boys in my town......they sent him 50 miles North. Decades later, when this offender had passed and was being buried, CURIOUSLY, the Archbishop showed up....
The six year sentence for a serial child molester is to be expected in liberal Canada. This is because the Canadian justice system is incredibly soft and lenient - it favors criminals more than the victims.
Review the two part UA-cam of The Pope ~ I think it's called, the pope's voice. He's reaching out to the masses saying that child trafficking is one of the hugest problems in the world, and we have all closed our eyes to it and for that reason that makes us 'all' accomplices. (Paraphrasing, except for the term that he did call us accomplices). I was listening to him and I was getting so upset with in myself, because the hugest offender of child and human trafficking, is the Catholic Church, any Catholic organization and the parochial schools. You should listen to it. It's done in two parts ~ short clips. May God bless each and everyone of you. WWG1WGA 🇺🇸🙏🏽🇺🇸
This priest didn't need " moving to another parish" on the orders of the Bishop,the Bishop should if a complaint from a victim is made against the priest report to police,the bishop would not only keep the sanctity of the confessional for he never heard the accused priests confession tying him . By doing so he would cleanse his parish of an offender and bring trust back to the parish and it's hurt and abused children. But Bishops are too busy trying to give a good impression instead of a pure moral and right example.very upsetting.
That is a multi trillion dollar question, "why are the victims the only ones to hold their offenders accountable" why are the predators safe guarded that can easily defend themselves , and why aren't the victims who are vulnerable being safe guarded instead? IF the elite are truly elite then why do they need protection since they claim they are stronger than everyone else? What is the point in guardians if they ain't guarding the vulnerable?
@@johnflood6656 It was attributed to Edmund Burke, but in fact it was said by John Stuart Mill. It is applicable in every walk of life... but it is very important when considering how many good priests of the Catholic church kept silent when they should have spoken out.
A few years ago, here in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, a scandal emerged. The "Nuncio" from the Vatican for PR and the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 fled Santo Domingo when he was accused of luring male minors to the official housing and abused them. He got "welcomed" here by the actual Arecibo Bishop to avoid the law on the neighborhood island. He was then sent to a "refugee" in Rome where he passed away. As if nothing had happened.
That line where the guy says it was almost like the bishops were trained. I wouldn't doubt it. It's like the kill machine was turned on inside the church.
The church says documents relating to residential schools have to be transcribed because the books are fragile. We should NOT trust them to do the transcription. The Canadian government needs to step up and seize those documents before information goes missing. No more special treatment for any church.
Transcribe? They said that? How about the government & the police take photos of the documents first-it would be interesting to compare the photos with the church's transcriptions!
No wonder I’m always wary of men in whites who are soft spoken and always said the right thing at the right time.They’re too good to be true.. and rightly so!
If you are a parent and you are letting your children around "priests ", then you are not only ignorant but should be charged as an accomplice when they are molested. There is enough information out there to know these devils can't be trusted !!!
My heart aches for the innocent the children as the adults knew everything they were doing to these children and of course they send priest that abuse will be transferred to cover up there activities their abuse of these children
Religion is crap! I grew up Catholic, but my kids are growing up without disgusting religion, instead I am instilling, self-respect, compassion, love and to help others any chance they get. All we need in this world is a good soul, NOT CORRUPT religious affiliations.
They break commandments at record speed. And keep doing it for decades. That female DA should be given a medal. If all the DA's were a bulldog on this issue Ike her we might actually get something done and make the Catholic church understand you protect a criminal who hurts kids you will be punished to the full letter of the law. And no mercy will be shown to you when you try to cover their crimes up.
39 charges and only 6 years? Less than 2 months for each girl. That is completely obscene and shows how little value Canada places on children, especially girls. Experts from all over the world have proven that this kind of sickness doesn't get cures. He should have NEVER had the opportunity to get out of jail, and he should have been in the worst jail in Canada. The fact that this guy was a trusted member of society makes it just that much more despicable. And also that the church covered this behavior for decades and decades, time and time again.
I can. I was an altar boy for a brief time. The priest once invited my brother and I into the residential quarters in the back for a "special treat" after the service. We never got the treat, because my Dad showed up unexpectedly. I still recall the look of panic upon seeing my Dad. Its as if Dad knew of the potential. I must ask myself, If he hadn't shown up to ruin the priest's only chance, would our Dad have to choose who to believe ?
@@bobgillis1137 your dad would have believed you two boys. The priest is evil!...your dad showed up just on time and probably told the priest to watch his step or else!
They should have prosecuted every person involved in this. All the way up as far as it goes. And how could it happen? A group with way to much power who peddle fairy tales and empty promises.
@Sharon Belleville it’s the Catholic and the Canadian Churches, in conjunction with the Crown- the Canadian government, an extension of the British Crown, that colluded with the Churches by not prosecuting pedo priests and their coverup bishops, and in turn the religious institutions supported the government policy of genocide towards indigenous people, specifically via the residential schools, administered by the religious orders who were the teachers etc. Quebec is like Ireland. They had 2 oppressors- a conquering foreign power they’ve been oppressed by and resisted-the British- the knowable enemy, and the Catholic Church, which they turned to to protect and defend them, but was equally as abusive as the first, the deceiving enemy. Shame on the Lying, Perverted Church! Shame on the murderous, perverted Crown!
@@pbohearn yes exactly what you said and definitely shame on the crown that institution definitely is equally involved and the big heart of it all starts with the catholic Vatican

@@christinalock9937 Please don't take this in the wrong way but I am just wondering what pay or buildings or any of the other things you mentioned have to do with the subject matter of this video? A person, in or out of the religious field, either has morals, principles, decency, real love (not the huggy, feelie, kissie, touching thing that so many mistake for love) for humanity or they don't. Those characteristics are not dependent on how much someone is paid or their place of employment. To take advantage of an innocent child in this way is evil. The people who perpetrate this evil and the ones who cover it up are an abomination. They lack character, decency and should be, in my opinion, taken to a remote island and dropped off where they cannot harm children. None of this shuffling from one place to another. They can practice their deviant behavior on each other. Oh, there are plenty of married deviants so letting the priests get married isn't going to solve the problem either. This type of behavior can be found lots of places other than the Catholic Church -- all denominations, social services, community recreation departments, Scouting programs, schools, anywhere where there are children. Parents, grandparents, step-parents, any relative or family friend can carry out this evil. it all boils down to evil thoughts and evil thoughts come in all shapes and sizes to everyone. It depends on whether one listens to those evil thoughts and acts on them. PERIOD. The Bible tells us to RESIST THE DEVIL and he will flee from you. It also says if your right hand offends you, cut it off, and, not to be overcome with evil but to overcome evil with good. A lot of these types position themselves in places where they can work their evil deeds, it's premeditated. If they WILL NOT control themselves they need to be taken to that island I mentioned or undergo a lobotomy. Innocent children should not have to suffer because these people think evil thoughts and act on them for their own sinful, warped sense pleasure. Oh, one other thing. The 10 commandments are the rules and they came from God for our benefit.

Yes, around the world. It’s astounding the number of children molested here in the US alone. They say the most dangerous time for a child here is between the hours of 3pm and 5pm when their parents are at work and the child is with a trusted caregiver. Foster children are at even greater danger.
Wow. This mirrors exactly what happened to my 11 year old daughter when she was assaulted by an LDS church leader. They will do anything to protect their money, image and power.
You know, the trauma of sexual harassment never leaves. It stays on your memory, every time you look back at something that reminds it, suddenly you feel choked by the emotion when you were going through, no matter how old are you, that’s why you should take the sexual harassment case seriously, it took a part of people’s life. Bcs that’s what i feel and many others sexual harassment victims
true, I can't get a good night sleep always wake up from nightmares see it over and over! and it happened in 2011, it never goes away there is always a look over shoulder, a sound that makes you jump, a smell that reminds you of the day all over but you get over it and put one foot in front of other.
@Sandra Turajlich You are far better than him:A CATHOLIC PRIEST WRITES TO THE NEW YORK TIMES - MARCH 2015 Dear Brother Journalist: I am a simple Catholic Priest. I am happy & proud of my vocation. I've been living in Angola for 20 years as a Missionary. I have read in a number of publications, especially in your newspaper, the amplified stories of paedophilic Priests, always portrayed in a morbid way with detailed research into past errors in the lives of these Priests. There was one, in a city in the USA in the 70’s; another in Australia in the 80’s; & so forth, some more recent…. Certainly, all these incidents were condemnable! …I feel enormous sadness about the immense harm that some men who should have been signs of the Love of God have been swords in the lives of innocent children. There are no words to justify such acts. There is no doubt that the Church must be on the side of the weak & most vulnerable. For that reason, all the measures that can be taken to prevent these acts & protect the dignity of the children should be an absolute priority. But, isn’t it strange that there is so little news & such lack of interest in the thousands of Priests who are sacrificing their lives daily & dedicating themselves, body & soul, to millions of children, to adolescents & to the most disadvantaged of these in all four corners of the world? I am sure the following would be of no interest to your newspaper: That I've had to transport many starving children along roads that were mined during the 2002 war… in Angola, because the government has been unable to do it & NGO’s have not been authorised; That I've had to bury dozens of children displaced by the war; That we have saved the lives of thousands in Mexico by running the only health centre within a zone of 90,000sq.km & by distributing food & grain; That we have been able to procure education & schools for more than 110,000 children in the last 10 years; It passes without interest that, along with other Priests, we have had to rescue nearly 12,000 people in guerrilla camps, after they were forced to give up their weapons because the UN & government food never arrived; It’s not an interesting news item that a 75year old Priest, Fr. Roberto, traveled all across the city of Luanda, caring for street children, guiding them to safe houses, so that they could be detoxed from the gasoline they inhaled while earning their living as flame throwers; Teaching literacy skills to hundreds of prisoners is no longer news; The other Priests, like Fr. Stephan, organise safe houses, so that the young, maltreated, beaten & even raped can find refuge there; Nor is it of any interest that Fr. Maiato, 80 years old, visits homes for the poor, one by one, comforting the sick & vulnerable; Today, it’s not news that out of 40,000 Priests & religious, more that 6,000 have left their countries & their families to serve their brothers in leper colonies, in hospitals, in refugee camps, in orphanages for children accused of sorcery or whose parents have died from AIDS,…. etc. Or, especially, that most Priests are spending their lives in Parishes & Missions, motivating people to live better and, more importantly, to love better; It's not news that my friend, Fr. Marcus Aurelius, in order to save children during the war in Angola, transported them from Kalulo to Dondo, & that, when returning to his Mission house, he was machine-gunned on the road; that Br. Francis, with 5 female catechists died in an accident on their way to help in the most remote rural areas of the country; That dozens of Missionaries in Angola have died from simple malaria because of poor sanitation; That others have been blown to bits by mines while visiting their faithful; currently, in the cemetery of Kalulo, lie the tombs of the first Priests who arrived in the area …none of them older than 40; It's not news to follow a “normal” Priest doing his daily work; experiencing his troubles & his joys, spending his whole life with no attention in the community he serves. The truth is, that we are not trying to make news, only simply, to bring the “Good News”; this News which, with no fanfare, began on ‘Easter Morning’. A tree that falls makes more noise than a thousand which stand & grow (talking about a ‘fallen’ Priest). A great deal more attention is paid to a Priest who commits an error than to the thousands who give their lives for the myriads of poor & needy. I don’t pretend to apologise for the Church & its Priests. A Priest is neither a hero nor a neurotic. He’s simply a normal man, who, with his human nature, seeks to follow Jesus & to serve Him by serving others. There is in us misery, poverty & fragility, as there is in every human being; but there is also beauty & grandeur, as there is in every creature. When you insist on advancing such a painful theme in an obsessive & persecuting manner, while ignoring the bigger picture of their work, you create truly offensive caricatures of Catholic Priests, & these wound me. I ask only, dear Journalist, that you look for the true, the good & the beautiful. It would greatly elevate your profession. In Christ, Fr. Martin Lasarte, SDB (“My past, Lord, I entrust to Your Mercy; my present to Your Love; my future to Your Providence”) (Taken from “Scandalous Mercy” by Sr. Emmanuel page 86-89)?
@@patrickkaggwa6328 you did good work. and no one will deny that, i respect people who do what you did. but i wont respect you cuz you are religious or anything, i respect you as a person. and me, as a person. despise most religions, mainly cuz they are often the main reason for conflict and murder. and cuz of things like pedo's and the wrongdoing towards innocent children. i dont think that the things you did should have been done cuz you believe in god (and i see you dont mention it as such) but i think you should do it cuz you believe in humanity. im not religious whatsoever but im open to learn about religion. but i will never ever become religious. so, i ask you now, as a person to person. if you ever encounter anyone in your profession/religion that would be involved in pedophelia, to report them. right away. prove the people who think the church covers these things up wrong. this is a huge problem and always has been a huge problem. but now is the time to stop being blind towards it. we live in 2020 now and not in 1820.
SupahFly Except Patrick didn’t do those things. He was just quoting something that someone else wrote. I believe that some religious leaders do some good work, but For all the riches, it’s pretty puny.
It’s not just Canada though it’s everywhere that child abusers get away almost Scott free while a simple weed possession can land them in prison longer in the USA sometimes they get months compared to other crimes that r not as heavy
@@dianemercer9916 it’s not just within the Catholic Church it’s in all churches just the Catholic Church is and will always be main focus because it’s as big as it is ppl just focus on the Catholic Church when it’s in every religion where there is some sort of power there will always be evil the problem with any religion is the fact that they say pray on it or ask god for forgiveness when in reality if someone says there is a problem they need help they should be taken seriously not be told to go pray on it or ask god for answers
Why do they say they "cover things up" and are "enablers"? A lot of them (higher up) could very well be guilty of the same crimes, which means they are not just covering up for others, but for themselves too.
Right. Corruption across the board, all the way up to the higher ups. And their solution? Cover it up, so they keep their imsge intact snd who cares about the victims? Terrible
@@merlem9448 No- The church consists of them and they could simply react by taking the abuse behind Vatican walls where the authorities can't do anything at all about it without causing an international incident.
I watched that too! Horrible to think what happened to her for speaking out. The Catholic Church has a lot in common with the Mafia, the same cult of Omertà. And it’s not the only church or religion that’s covering up child sex abuse. The Watchtower org. is getting investigated now for its history of covering up abuse and not reporting pedophiles to the proper authorities. Same with the Mormons, Mennonites etc. The lid on this cesspool has to be blown off and the offenders outed.
It happened in Purley,South London.The priest was sent to Rome for counselling and then sent to Gatwick Airport as a chaplain.It was there that he got caught and the Church could not protect him this time.The parents of one of the boys he abused attended the same church as I did in a nearby village.The whole family left the Catholic Church ,which did nothing to help them.

Yep! Drug charges can get you LIFE but this.. harming children.... ALWAYS less than 10 years!! & usually no where near that! Many don’t see any time behind bars!! It makes me so so mad!!!
Honestly the fact that people still go to these churches affirms them in a way. Also that the bishops lie is just something else altogether. Religion is a business and people need to understand that at this point.
Leaving a child alone with a priest should be illegal
sorry, it's not just children.
we need to just outlaw priests.
Complicity is a crime, too!
My uncle was a priest. He came out of the Catholic Church in the early 80s. He only said there are serious problems in the Church! He never elaborated. Now everyone knows the serious problems!
The Island of saints and scorers
Imagine the abused they put up with back in the days when IF YOU ACCUSED A TEACHER, PRIEST, COP, TEACHER OF ABUSE YOU GOT IN TROUBLE, CALLED A LIAR.....
I'm starting to think that one of the requirements to become a priest is that fellow priests got to know that you are sick like them and will keep the abuse secret.

That DA is a badass. She needs to get an award and be recognized for doing what everyone else was scared to do.
Nope, more like she needs to be disbarred for violating the free establishment of religion and democracy. We need to send a message loud and clear to authorities to keep their nose out of the business of the church before they get it cut off.

EVERY FEDERAL CANADIAN GOVERNMENT (PRIME MINISTERS AND ASSIGNED MINISTERS) OF THE DAY, AND CATHOLIC PEOPLE ACROSS CANADA AT THESE SCHOOLS AND PARTICULARLY IN OTTAWA, ALONG WITH EVERY RCMP DETACHMENT ACROSS CANADA IS SUSPECT.
WITHOUT A DOUBT, EVERY CANADIAN GOVERNMENT THROUGHOUT THE DECADES HAS FAILED TO DO WHAT IS NECESSARY. AT THE TOP OF THIS LIST OF INDIVIDUALS WILL BE EVERY RCMP CHIEF ACROSS CANADA AS WELL.
IT IS TIME TO PUT AN END TO THIS AND FORCE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TO RELEASE ALL THEIR DOCUMENTS IMMEDIATELY. APOLOGIES FROM THIS CHURCH ARE COMPLETELY MEANINGLESS AND WITHOUT ANY SINCERITY, HENCE A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME.
IT IS TIME TO NAME ALL THESE CHURCH "OFFICIALS" FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM, WHO WERE IN ATTENDANCE AT EVERY ONE OF THESE RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS THROUGH THESE MANY DECADES .....AS WELL AS EVERY GOVERNMENT LEADER AND MINISTER ....AND EVERY RCMP OFFICIAL.

I hope you return to the Catholic church. Remember one of Jesus's disciples was Judas
@@vincentcharles607 the Roman Catholic church has NEVER taught the gospel. They have systemically REMOVED all guilt from priests and refused to compensate the victims.

@@lorrainearmstrong7587 Hi, I understand your hatred and frustrations towards the Church but if I may ask, have you been to a Catholic church before?
@@lorrainearmstrong7587 Yes you can blacklist it but you are wrong about Catholic people not believing in Jesus they read in their declaration of faith at mass it's called the Apostles Creed and Niceen Creed just as the Anglican Church also does, also yes I agree they give too much creedance to Mary and saints.
Jesus is the way, truth, life, people should follow him.
@@lorrainearmstrong7587 obviously you are a “born again evangelical “. They all make the same remarks against the Catholic Church. Catholics do not worship saints or the Virgin Mary. Get your facts straight before denigrating an institution you know nothing about. The Roman Catholic Church is a Christian church. Catholics believe in God the Father, The Son and Holy Spirit. Every church has some dark history not that that eliminates what these monsters have done to children, but every church has a history of sexual abuse against children and young adults.
As a young child in Germany, I remember that my uncle was involved in the installation of plumbing in a Catholic nunnery. What they found under the building, deep in the cellar, was horrible, there were the corpses of many new born babies.
I show a documentary about nuns coming forward saying the priests are raping them and getting them pregnant and their forced to have abortions .The nuns tell the mother superior but she tells them to keep quiet.
Whaaaaaa??

@ I've read that Catholicism was a compromise between the mystery religions of Rome and the teachings of the early church (from Jesus & his followers) The pantheon of roman gods took on the form of "saints" They are representative of archetypal figures meant to be modeled after sun worship. Roman Catholicism is simply sun worship. This is where the term "Mystery Babylon" from the Book of Revelation fits in perfectly.
I always wondered what happened to my father in the Catholic church that made him so adamant about not letting his daughters attend church.
Now u know 💔
😢😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏🙏 pray for his soul.
This sent chills right down my spine.
My parents were adamant I not go to the same Catholic grade school as my 2 much older siblings, even though it was 2 blocks from our house. I got carted clear to the other side of town to the other one for 4 years until we moved closer to it. I never got a straight answer on that one. I know my sister hated her school experience and won't talk about it. I can only guess.
@Mary Carroll, atheist molest too. Yes, indeed. But they don't have a powerful institution to cover up for them. They don't make amends with the bishop, ask forgiveness to Jesus, wear their stupid dresses and preach from the pulpit moral lessons.
The answer is the same for cops who watch other cops doing crimes yet never are charged and suffer no recriminations .
Not so simple. As they say society is geared not to look up to the next level. Are the cops more corruption than the district attorneys? the DAs more corrupt than the judges? It appears than the son of the president of the United States is a man of low character. Raw power seems to triumph. The only things that saves us is that often justice prevails because Corruption produces hubris.
I'm so relieved and happy that the little girl's mother believed her about the abuse. For anyone to abuse a child is unforgivable but for a man of God to do so there's not enough punishment. That includes those that covered it up.
@BTIsaac I never mentioned "my religion", I'm agnostic, but you obviously feel anger about something.
@BTIsaac Still angry? Take it out elsewhere.
@BTIsaac I'm not arguing religion so I don't understand what your deal may be and have no problem with any one's comment. You are the attacker here.
Both of you are expressing or condemning an indecent behavoir of a man of the color (priest) which you do not approve of,so any attack should be towards the RCC church not between yourselves.
RCC boasts of a membership of over 1 billion and those are the people who should be enlightened to see the deception the clergy does to minors and adults as well.I was a victim at some point and the bad feelings of regret and helplessness made me leave churches for the rest of my life.I dont direct my children towards church people anymore.
Probably because the moms have experienced the same as a child
The church isn't what you think it is.

Oh geez ya think?
When I grew up in the 80's everyone went to church. You were seen as a nice, good family if you did. There were churches of all denominations on every corner of every street block. Now, thankfully most churches are empty and vacant and many others are torn down. Most people are waking up, this is a good sign. I used to go to church every Sunday, my mother was a Sunday school teacher and my sister and I were in the choir. I haven't been to church since I was a child and I would never go back. I am a spiritual person and I believe in God, but even as a small child I knew the church was a farce.
Catholic is religion but not Jesus Christ. He is the way the truth and the.life...he didnt tell us to go raping others..He says in matthew 18 protect the children..
RELIGION SAYS OTHERWISE
My family is upset with me and won’t talk to me because I don’t want to associate my self with this organization.
One of the 10 commandments says "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour." That's exactly what the church is doing (the false witness).
But it says "Thou Shalt not Kill" but used to burn heretics at the stake.
@@leonardgibney2997 I know. Sometimes, the math just doesn't add up.

What has been done to children in this church and in other churches/denominations by the clergy is an absolute abomination to God, good. The clergy has a special charge and it would seem many have betrayed that charge. You signed up to do God's work and ended up doing the work of the Deceiver. "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil: that put darkness for light and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! . . . Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

Dolores Cannon spoke of the churches and it was better to have small house studies, etc. This way if someone is in need of something you can help them with food, etc. When you give to the church that money goes for lights, building etc, all wasted money. When we were small my mom went to the church to ask for help they refused and said we needed to give 10 percent. When I found out that the Catholic church killed the Cathars in 1200's for following the book of Love that did it for me. If you look up the Cathar Creed it is amazing I read it everyday.
And do you take your kids out of school when you hear about teacher child molesters?
If you want justice then blame the individual. If you want money then blame the institution. But if you want real healing then ask for for Divine Mercy. Money and hatred will never fix this problem.
Good for you. I changed religion. The lies, the hypocrisy was just too much...and I’m in Africa
And they had the audacity to preach the "missionary position" in Africa. What happened (happens?) over there, we'll probably never know. And ofcourse there are only men allowed in high positions in the church. Sex offenders are allowed to preach, women are not.

I don't think "it was an act of contrition". I think he wanted to take people out with him
That's what happened to the priest who fondled altar boys in my town......they sent him 50 miles North. Decades later, when this offender had passed and was being buried, CURIOUSLY, the Archbishop showed up....
Wow 8-10 years old victims, OMG and only given 6 years...you no why he is a White man. Sickened me 💯
The six year sentence for a serial child molester is to be expected in liberal Canada. This is because the Canadian justice system is incredibly soft and lenient - it favors criminals more than the victims.
Review the two part UA-cam of The Pope ~ I think it's called, the pope's voice. He's reaching out to the masses saying that child trafficking is one of the hugest problems in the world, and we have all closed our eyes to it and for that reason that makes us 'all' accomplices. (Paraphrasing, except for the term that he did call us accomplices). I was listening to him and I was getting so upset with in myself, because the hugest offender of child and human trafficking, is the Catholic Church, any Catholic organization and the parochial schools. You should listen to it. It's done in two parts ~ short clips. May God bless each and everyone of you. WWG1WGA 🇺🇸🙏🏽🇺🇸
39 charges = 6 years?
1charge should = life in prison.
Its wrong on so many levels.
This priest didn't need " moving to another parish" on the orders of the Bishop,the Bishop should if a complaint from a victim is made against the priest report to police,the bishop would not only keep the sanctity of the confessional for he never heard the accused priests confession tying him . By doing so he would cleanse his parish of an offender and bring trust back to the parish and it's hurt and abused children. But Bishops are too busy trying to give a good impression instead of a pure moral and right example.very upsetting.
Like Chris Hitchins says in his book "Religion is the root of all evil".
That is a multi trillion dollar question, "why are the victims the only ones to hold their offenders accountable" why are the predators safe guarded that can easily defend themselves , and why aren't the victims who are vulnerable being safe guarded instead? IF the elite are truly elite then why do they need protection since they claim they are stronger than everyone else? What is the point in guardians if they ain't guarding the vulnerable?
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Who said that? That's profound
@@johnflood6656 It was attributed to Edmund Burke, but in fact it was said by John Stuart Mill. It is applicable in every walk of life... but it is very important when considering how many good priests of the Catholic church kept silent when they should have spoken out.
A few years ago, here in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, a scandal emerged. The "Nuncio" from the Vatican for PR and the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 fled Santo Domingo when he was accused of luring male minors to the official housing and abused them. He got "welcomed" here by the actual Arecibo Bishop to avoid the law on the neighborhood island. He was then sent to a "refugee" in Rome where he passed away. As if nothing had happened.
Lesson to learn from here: Parents,don't trust any priest with your kids, cause that priest might be a sexual predator.
That line where the guy says it was almost like the bishops were trained. I wouldn't doubt it. It's like the kill machine was turned on inside the church.
Must make an example of them and charge them all to the fullest extent of the law. Only then will other predators stop!
this goes right up to the Pope! And it goes on in schools and hollywood and everywhere...Men can't keep their hands off little children.
6 YRS. Are you kidding me, those children have to live with this for the rest of their lives. YOU GO AFTER THE HIGHER UPS, THIS IS A DISGRACE.
The church says documents relating to residential schools have to be transcribed because the books are fragile. We should NOT trust them to do the transcription. The Canadian government needs to step up and seize those documents before information goes missing. No more special treatment for any church.
Transcribe? They said that? How about the government & the police take photos of the documents first-it would be interesting to compare the photos with the church's transcriptions!
6 years !! That's all !! A year for each child consecutively in the coldest part of Canada.
So, we catch burglars then send them to other citys to burgler. Helooo!?
No wonder I’m always wary of men in whites who are soft spoken and always said the right thing at the right time.They’re too good to be true.. and rightly so!
If you are a parent and you are letting your children around "priests ", then you are not only ignorant but should be charged as an accomplice when they are molested. There is enough information out there to know these devils can't be trusted !!!
What?! Only 6 years?! That's not justice! The victims have lifelong trauma!
Why can't victims sue the very top of the church in Rome?
Everytime i see a bishop or a priest i get so creeped put cus i kno what they do
Truth is rising.
My heart aches for the innocent the children as the adults knew everything they were doing to these children and of course they send priest that abuse will be transferred to cover up there activities their abuse of these children
Clean up child abuse Catholic Church Prist sand him jail for life !
This is so sad :(
Religion is crap! I grew up Catholic, but my kids are growing up without disgusting religion, instead I am instilling, self-respect, compassion, love and to help others any chance they get. All we need in this world is a good soul, NOT CORRUPT religious affiliations.
They break commandments at record speed. And keep doing it for decades. That female DA should be given a medal. If all the DA's were a bulldog on this issue Ike her we might actually get something done and make the Catholic church understand you protect a criminal who hurts kids you will be punished to the full letter of the law. And no mercy will be shown to you when you try to cover their crimes up.
These Bishops should in prison for the rest of their lives!!!
39 charges and only 6 years? Less than 2 months for each girl. That is completely obscene and shows how little value Canada places on children, especially girls. Experts from all over the world have proven that this kind of sickness doesn't get cures. He should have NEVER had the opportunity to get out of jail, and he should have been in the worst jail in Canada. The fact that this guy was a trusted member of society makes it just that much more despicable. And also that the church covered this behavior for decades and decades, time and time again.
can you imagine knowing a grown man is sexually abusing a child... and you do nothing about it.
I can't - not at all.
I can. I was an altar boy for a brief time. The priest once invited my brother and I into the residential quarters in the back for a "special treat" after the service. We never got the treat, because my Dad showed up unexpectedly. I still recall the look of panic upon seeing my Dad. Its as if Dad knew of the potential.
I must ask myself, If he hadn't shown up to ruin the priest's only chance, would our Dad have to choose who to believe ?
Thats called the sin of " omission"...To those whom much is given,much will be required...
@@bobgillis1137 your dad would have believed you two boys. The priest is evil!...your dad showed up just on time and probably told the priest to watch his step or else!

@@marieSnowtruthjustice Yep
@James Williams while I tend to laugh at Scripture i kinda like that part.
Why should priests be above the law?
If he was abusing native kids, he would have got away with it. That's the sad truth of the residential school system.
@Sharon Belleville it’s the Catholic and the Canadian Churches, in conjunction with the Crown- the Canadian government, an extension of the British Crown, that colluded with the Churches by not prosecuting pedo priests and their coverup bishops, and in turn the religious institutions supported the government policy of genocide towards indigenous people, specifically via the residential schools, administered by the religious orders who were the teachers etc.
Quebec is like Ireland. They had 2 oppressors- a conquering foreign power they’ve been oppressed by and resisted-the British- the knowable enemy, and the Catholic Church, which they turned to to protect and defend them, but was equally as abusive as the first, the deceiving enemy.

@@christinalock9937 Please don't take this in the wrong way but I am just wondering what pay or buildings or any of the other things you mentioned have to do with the subject matter of this video? A person, in or out of the religious field, either has morals, principles, decency, real love (not the huggy, feelie, kissie, touching thing that so many mistake for love) for humanity or they don't. Those characteristics are not dependent on how much someone is paid or their place of employment.
To take advantage of an innocent child in this way is evil. The people who perpetrate this evil and the ones who cover it up are an abomination. They lack character, decency and should be, in my opinion, taken to a remote island and dropped off where they cannot harm children. None of this shuffling from one place to another. They can practice their deviant behavior on each other. Oh, there are plenty of married deviants so letting the priests get married isn't going to solve the problem either. This type of behavior can be found lots of places other than the Catholic Church -- all denominations, social services, community recreation departments, Scouting programs, schools, anywhere where there are children. Parents, grandparents, step-parents, any relative or family friend can carry out this evil. it all boils down to evil thoughts and evil thoughts come in all shapes and sizes to everyone. It depends on whether one listens to those evil thoughts and acts on them. PERIOD. The Bible tells us to RESIST THE DEVIL and he will flee from you. It also says if your right hand offends you, cut it off, and, not to be overcome with evil but to overcome evil with good. A lot of these types position themselves in places where they can work their evil deeds, it's premeditated. If they WILL NOT control themselves they need to be taken to that island I mentioned or undergo a lobotomy. Innocent children should not have to suffer because these people think evil thoughts and act on them for their own sinful, warped sense pleasure.
Oh, one other thing. The 10 commandments are the rules and they came from God for our benefit.
These priests assaulted my father. Took him on “special trips” to be alone with him. The pigs.
That's an insult to pigs. More like human pond scum.

Yes, around the world. It’s astounding the number of children molested here in the US alone. They say the most dangerous time for a child here is between the hours of 3pm and 5pm when their parents are at work and the child is with a trusted caregiver. Foster children are at even greater danger.

You know, the trauma of sexual harassment never leaves. It stays on your memory, every time you look back at something that reminds it, suddenly you feel choked by the emotion when you were going through, no matter how old are you, that’s why you should take the sexual harassment case seriously, it took a part of people’s life.

Shame on the church for enabling those monsters.
@Sandra Turajlich You are far better than him:A CATHOLIC PRIEST WRITES TO THE NEW YORK TIMES - MARCH 2015
Dear Brother Journalist:
I am a simple Catholic Priest. I am happy & proud of my vocation. I've been living in Angola for 20 years as a Missionary. I have read in a number of publications, especially in your newspaper, the amplified stories of paedophilic Priests, always portrayed in a morbid way with detailed research into past errors in the lives of these Priests.
There was one, in a city in the USA in the 70’s; another in Australia in the 80’s; & so forth, some more recent…. Certainly, all these incidents were condemnable!
…I feel enormous sadness about the immense harm that some men who should have been signs of the Love of God have been swords in the lives of innocent children. There are no words to justify such acts. There is no doubt that the Church must be on the side of the weak & most vulnerable. For that reason, all the measures that can be taken to prevent these acts & protect the dignity of the children should be an absolute priority.
But, isn’t it strange that there is so little news & such lack of interest in the thousands of Priests who are sacrificing their lives daily & dedicating themselves, body & soul, to millions of children, to adolescents & to the most disadvantaged of these in all four corners of the world?
I am sure the following would be of no interest to your newspaper:
That I've had to transport many starving children along roads that were mined during the 2002 war… in Angola, because the government has been unable to do it & NGO’s have not been authorised;
That I've had to bury dozens of children displaced by the war;
That we have saved the lives of thousands in Mexico by running the only health centre within a zone of 90,000sq.km & by distributing food & grain;
That we have been able to procure education & schools for more than 110,000 children in the last 10 years;
It passes without interest that, along with other Priests, we have had to rescue nearly 12,000 people in guerrilla camps, after they were forced to give up their weapons because the UN & government food never arrived;
It’s not an interesting news item that a 75year old Priest, Fr. Roberto, traveled all across the city of Luanda, caring for street children, guiding them to safe houses, so that they could be detoxed from the gasoline they inhaled while earning their living as flame throwers;
Teaching literacy skills to hundreds of prisoners is no longer news;
The other Priests, like Fr. Stephan, organise safe houses, so that the young, maltreated, beaten & even raped can find refuge there;
Nor is it of any interest that Fr. Maiato, 80 years old, visits homes for the poor, one by one, comforting the sick & vulnerable;
Today, it’s not news that out of 40,000 Priests & religious, more that 6,000 have left their countries & their families to serve their brothers in leper colonies, in hospitals, in refugee camps, in orphanages for children accused of sorcery or whose parents have died from AIDS,…. etc.
Or, especially, that most Priests are spending their lives in Parishes & Missions, motivating people to live better and, more importantly, to love better;
It's not news that my friend, Fr. Marcus Aurelius, in order to save children during the war in Angola, transported them from Kalulo to Dondo, & that, when returning to his Mission house, he was machine-gunned on the road; that Br. Francis, with 5 female catechists died in an accident on their way to help in the most remote rural areas of the country;
That dozens of Missionaries in Angola have died from simple malaria because of poor sanitation;
That others have been blown to bits by mines while visiting their faithful; currently, in the cemetery of Kalulo, lie the tombs of the first Priests who arrived in the area …none of them older than 40;
It's not news to follow a “normal” Priest doing his daily work; experiencing his troubles & his joys, spending his whole life with no attention in the community he serves.
The truth is, that we are not trying to make news, only simply, to bring the “Good News”; this News which, with no fanfare, began on ‘Easter Morning’. A tree that falls makes more noise than a thousand which stand & grow (talking about a ‘fallen’ Priest).
A great deal more attention is paid to a Priest who commits an error than to the thousands who give their lives for the myriads of poor & needy. I don’t pretend to apologise for the Church & its Priests.
A Priest is neither a hero nor a neurotic. He’s simply a normal man, who, with his human nature, seeks to follow Jesus & to serve Him by serving others. There is in us misery, poverty & fragility, as there is in every human being; but there is also beauty & grandeur, as there is in every creature.
When you insist on advancing such a painful theme in an obsessive & persecuting manner, while ignoring the bigger picture of their work, you create truly offensive caricatures of Catholic Priests, & these wound me.
I ask only, dear Journalist, that you look for the true, the good & the beautiful. It would greatly elevate your profession.
In Christ,
Fr. Martin Lasarte, SDB

They could repent there sins everyday forgive me father for i have sinned dirty disgusting beasts 😤 🤧
Beware!- Warning to all!- stay away from these criminals! Protect the innocent children!- peace!
Why do they say they "cover things up" and are "enablers"? A lot of them (higher up) could very well be guilty of the same crimes, which means they are not just covering up for others, but for themselves too.
Bingo !
Right. Corruption across the board, all the way up to the higher ups. And their solution? Cover it up, so they keep their imsge intact snd who cares about the victims? Terrible
The church is protecting phedofiles
@@merlem9448 No- The church consists of them and they could simply react by taking the abuse behind Vatican walls where the authorities can't do anything at all about it without causing an international incident.

I saw this on Netflix, t’was about Sister Kathy. The Nun was killed bc she helped the young girls.
I watched that too! Horrible to think what happened to her for speaking out. The Catholic Church has a lot in common with the Mafia, the same cult of Omertà.
And it’s not the only church or religion that’s covering up child sex abuse. The Watchtower org. is getting investigated now for its history of covering up abuse and not reporting pedophiles to the proper authorities. Same with the Mormons, Mennonites etc. The lid on this cesspool has to be blown off and the offenders outed.
@@joanferguson4194 Hey Catholic church is the most safest place now for children
To the woman in the interview who said there were no words for this. I have one. Evil.
It’s the same here in the US they find one and move him to another parish as if that will somehow fix the problem. It doesn’t it makes it worse.
It happened in Purley,South London.The priest was sent to Rome for counselling and then sent to Gatwick Airport as a chaplain.It was there that he got caught and the Church could not protect him this time.The parents of one of the boys he abused attended the same church as I did in a nearby village.The whole family left the Catholic Church ,which did nothing to help them.
@@sheilanixon4479 the boys father should have introduced the priest to Mr. Knuckles!
@@ronbonora7872 stop visiting their buildings! God never had a building! His love, is around us every time we choose, his love is unconditional without rules.. buildings are a business? Our lord was never that!!
There were several documentaries that were produced in the late 1980's and early 1990's which talked about pedophile priests in the United States a and Canada. Not just catholic, but Mormon and protestants.
What a great priest hunter. So many people's good wishes go to him.
As a product of St. Anne's Residential School (Fort Albany, Ont.), I went through all forms of abuse. You name it, I went through it. I commend all those that step forward and bring it into the open. It's a step in the right direction towards healing.

I pray that you will have healing to your pain
People are so evil
You are more then a survivor!
You deserve the best, I’m so sorry what happened ❤️❤️❤️🙏😔
I commend them too.
Ugh! St. Anne’s!! I am so sorry you had to live through that nightmare. I hope that you now have the peaceful and beautiful life you have ALWAYS deserved.
Thank you Fifth Estate. You always help the voiceless.
Wow I'm native n our ppl are just being found in mass Graves. But they also did it to their own 😔 we as ppl in Kkkanada need to fight this together n get these names out. 😤
You and your people are precious. Don't let anyone tell you the opposite!!
A HUGE coverup is only the start ...
That is what happen when the foxes are in charge of guarding the hen house, it is up to the people themselves to monitor the high ups in the churches and bring the charges on the offenders...
Not by the ones offended by them or that notice they are not teaching the word of GOD , but the words of men and deception is their trade...
@Mary Carroll You have that right those that are deceived are not able to come to the truth...
6 years..39 charges.. 6-8 years old. 😤 I hate the “justice” system. Despicable.
It's called the CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM ~
@@izzyizzm8761 And it goes all the way to the top. . .
Yep! Drug charges can get you LIFE but this.. harming children.... ALWAYS less than 10 years!! & usually no where near that! Many don’t see any time behind bars!! It makes me so so mad!!!
@@kay-collins makes me sick ur 100% right! Its discusting
What about Hollywood ??
Westminster In England
BBC
Boys Town America
The Vatican
Honestly the fact that people still go to these churches affirms them in a way.
Also that the bishops lie is just something else altogether. Religion is a business and people need to understand that at this point.
