Sanctuary of Sin: How a religious order became a haven for pedophile priests | NewsNation Prime

- NewsNation affiliate WGN presents “Sanctuary of Sin”, a look at a little-known religious order and the role it played in the Catholic church sex abuse crisis. Most people have never heard of the Servants of the Paraclete. Founded in 1947, its mission is to help clergy in crisis, and was soon overwhelmed by priests accused of sexual abuse. Are clergy the best people to keep an eye on priests? Some suggest the religious order isn't helping these priests, they're hiding them.

Priests don't become Peados, Peados become Priests!
You are absolutely right. It's a way for a Catholic family to deal with unacceptable sexual behaviour in their offspring and maintain good standing. Send them off to become a priest. It used to be like this for gay men back in my day....
Exactly. A good book to read is “Goodbye Good Men” it’s all about that.
The solution is that they ought to marry a wife. Marriage is biblical even to the priests in the Scripture did it.
They are synonymous
Which is why the concept of a priest is stupid. You just admitted someone as disgusting as a pedo can become a priest
This has been going on for centuries. Not just for Catholics, but for all Religions & walks of faith.
Yes, this has been going on for centuries "in the Catholic church". Yes, child sexual abuse frequently pops up in other religions, and also, schools, and other institutions. But, there is a huge difference. The Catholic church pedophilia is dug in like a tick. Pennsylvania Attorney General, Shapira, referred to the Catholic church as "organized crime, mafia style" and issued an 850+ page grand jury indictment on priests. The church fought in the courts to suppress the names of the predator priests, allowing them to remain incognito, so they could continue preying on innocent children.
Most guilty priests dodged justice because the church fought in the courts until the stature of limitations ran out. These predator priests are most likely still hanging around, because the Catholic community is too busy pointing fingers at others rather than sweeping around their own back porch.
The phenomena is world wide, with accusations of hundreds of thousands of abused Catholic children across Europe alone. The church orchestrated a huge cover up and refused to cooperate with law enforcement. Nothing has changed in the church, and nothing will, because Catholics refuse to "man up" and fight back.
No, this is Jew silliness
And in every walk of life. Even in the immediate family!!! Evil deals in the hearts of men, looking to do evil all the time!! And the internet has made it worse!!
Exactly! It's not a religious problem. It's a human problem.
@@alecrim888 It is a serious problem in the Catholic church because the members and the leadership refuses to deal with it. Hundreds of thousands of children in Europe alone have accusations of child sexual abuse, especially in France. The Pennsylvania grand jury, investigating child abuse in the state, delivered an 850 +pages of indictments and horrific details of abuse.
The state Attorney General, Shipira, accused the Catholic church of mafia style tactics in their cover up and refusal to solve the problem. Hundreds of priests ruined the lives of little innocent ones, whole communities devastated, while the Catholic church pointed fingers at other institutions doing the same. Thanks to the church dragging out the outcome in the courts, only a few predator priests were prosecuted, because the statute of limitations ran out.
The church lawyered up and tried to stop the release of the names of the predator priests, rather than punish them, ensuring that other children would be victims of unidentified priests. This is pure evil. No other church, school, business, or any other institution has acted in this manner. The church needs to "man up", accept responsibility for their misbehavior, and report child abuse rather than hide it. Meanwhile, leave your children alone with a priest at their own peril.
Abuse isn’t just in the Catholic Church!!! It’s in all religions!
WELL WHY DON'T THE MEDIA ALSO GO AFTER THEM..... ALL I SEE IS PRIESTS...
A group called "Ministry watch" often reports on non catholic abusers
Then you haven’t been paying attention. Much has been reported on the sexual abuse of minors that’s taken place in the Southern Baptist Convention.
Check out Ministry Watch. They report abuse in many denominations
It's not inherent to the teachings, but the spurns from the abuse of the teachers and cultures associated with it by world economy. Abuse happens by atheists just as much as priests. Literally some Orders associated with atheism encourage abuse as a science.
I wish all abusers understood that the trauma for the victims never ever goes away, ever!
Abusers fully understand. They just don’t care.
Why do you think they would care?😅
I was abused twice...different scenario but the trauma does influence many things in my life. Sucks, but meditation has helped so much to the point that I can tell when I'm acting based on the trauma, and I avoid it. Stay strong fellas. We are no longer vulnerable...
@James-ll3jb why do you find that funny?
@@JaLl-gt2beI am so sorry for what has happened to you. I'm going to pray 🙏 for you. I like what you wrote about no longer being vulnerable. You "are" a strong person! God bless!
Those hiding sexual perpetrators should be charged as well as the perpetrators.
Wow. My big brother is only three years older than I. He used to molest me when I was twelve to 14. I was taken to a foster home then as a result. My parents talked me into telling the lawyer a lie to protect him from going to prison as justice. The police told me, I could be in very much trouble for lying and obstructing justice. So I shouldn't get therapy to heal from it. My so called friend asked me in school asked me if I want to have him get a life time sentence like how you. He repented though.
@@yolandagrabowski6043 That was so wrong and I'm so sorry that happened to you!
@@haroldwhite5761 ❤
You’re a VICTIM of sexual abuse
You are removed from home
You lie to lawyer
You don’t report to police
You don’t receive therapy
ALL of 👆 This ! WHY ?
There’s nothing you wrote that indicates your ABUSER had any
Consequences whatsoever.
Your Parents !?!?!
@@yolandagrabowski6043 I hope you've healed and recovered from such a terrible trauma
Sexual abuse began when time began just like other evils. Don’t think it’s only in the Catholic Church.
It was hidden in a day when no one talked about this abuse. The word sexual abuse is a misnomer as it has nothing to do to do with sex but the organs sex is used for. It is about POWER.
I am an abuse survivor my abuser went on to abuse many his own children included.
Please speak up if this happens tell, tell until someone listens!
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m sorry for what happened to you 😢 I pray you are blessed 🙏
Statuates of limitations need to be abolished
Offering counseling to offending priests is commendable but it should not be a substitute for facing the legal consequences of inappropriate behavior. Sexual abuse is a criminal offense as well as moral deficiency. By not dealing with offending priests, the Church undermines its own integrity and credibility. Why aren't offending abusers defrocked? Tax exemption status should be dependent on the compliance with government requests for transparency. From my early adulthood, I knew about renewal centers but in my innocence, I thought that they dealt with priests' alcoholism, substance abuse and gambling habits.
But bishop Strickland protests the gay holy order of the sisters of perpetual indulgence and gets defrocked but if u touch kids u don't, this is one of the many proofs when Rome left the east it ceased to be the church
I used to be a messianic/evangelical now eastern Orthodox, Catholics come home those who really love the world
Jesuits
Jewish product
Once ordained, you cannot remove the consecrated status of an individual. Tu es sacerdos in aeternam - you are a priest forever. You can stop his officiating any priestly duties, but you cannot "unmake" his consecrated status. Even those who voluntarily leave the priesthood and live in the secular world, they are still consecrated men of God, just not practicing. Just like an ex-president - he is always Mr President, although not acting or holding the power of that office.
Absolutely disgusting. I was raised Catholic and love my roots however the lengths the Church went to cover this up and SEND known Offenders to other Parishes is absolutely unforgeable and shows NO moral character on behalf of the Bishops and Cardinals. It's an absolute shame and it's made me stay FAR away from wanting to be a part of it
Other religions have same problems but not covered by the media
My sentiments exactly. The Catholic church Of my youth is unrecognizable and will forever be crippled as a result of their response to the criminal behavior of their priests and hierarchy!
and dont forget that a number of bishops were not just covering up the "problem". They WERE the problem.
@@erikriza7165 what about those secret tunnels, high chair and bloody toddler mattress found in the tunnels under the church 2 months ago??? Oh never mind that, it was not under a church. Nothing to see here.🤫🤐
@@LoantakaBrook i dont know about that. The only thing like that which comes to my mind is the accusations of buried children in Canada which excavations failed to prove.
So the money donated and given by congregants goes to supporting the abusers?
And now, many dioceses declare bankruptcy to pay the victims. So I give the government 15,000 a year in taxes to suppor their causes, and 500 a year to my church to pay for air conditioning or whatever.
Churches have been closed and sold to pay for the priest’s crimes. They eventually found abuse going up to the level of an Archbishop whose crimes had been known about since the 50s in Nova Scotia and the community halls that the local congregations had funded and built with donated labour were all sold to pay for the consequences. The Catholic Church didn’t suffer and pay the consequences. The members whose family members had been victims for decades did.
They don't do other jobs. How do you think they get any pay?
Yup.
Whomever offends the least of these, the children, offends me. -Jesus Christ.
💯
Means nothing. Churches protect abusers.
This quote doesn’t refer to children in general, and hasn’t any sexual meaning. It’s about faith in Jesus, which is considered as the most precious treasure. The meaning is: there is nothing worse (morally) than causing the least of men to be discouraged from following Jesus-Christ. For instance, by inspiring him fear of legal penalties as an enemy of the “true” faith.
The church should have preserved the image of the church by addressing the issue of pedophile priests immediately instead of covering it up, and therefore, letting it ruin the image of the church forever:😢
Would be nice but you are applying today's standards to the days of old.
@@JJ-qt6wc I don't understand your reply! To clarify, we all know now that this abuse was going on long before it was uncovered, and the standard of the church was the SAME no matter when it was going on i. e. to not address it and to cover it up! To repeat, it should have been addressed by the church immediately, Unfortunately, the abuse went all the way up into the hierarchy, those who were guilty themselves, McCarrick, an abuser himself, and others, and Law, and others, who knew but did nothing! The greatest abuse was moving these religious from parish to parish to let them continue their abuse on more children. Evidentially, this is the church that I grew up in, but thankfully, I didn't know it at the time and none of these experiences touched me, only good experiences!😃
So why's the media knowd about this case if the Church covering this allegations.
Because people who were abused started to report this to the authorities who started to investigate and the media, of course, started to report the abuse. course the media started
Because those people who were abused reported the abuse to the police, who investigated, and the media, finding out, began to report it.
I know the Servants well. I can tell you everything you want to know. They have several places in the USA that hide these creeps.
Say it
Really? Hide ? In my town, we have a shelter for abused women and children. It's not generally known where this shelter is located, as angry husbands would come bearing arms to kill their wives and children. The large yard is surrounded by a privacy fence, so fathers can't sit in their cars plotting to kidnap their children out playing in the yard.
Do you have any information about B.C.?
@@michfras1 what's BC?
@@georgejunior2929 Probably British Columbia.
I just dont understand why these priests are not trated as any other sexual offender. Brought to court and punished accordingly.
The predator priests get away with it because the Catholic church hires lawyers to fight the accusers and the prosecutors in the courts. In Pennsylvania, the church fought until the stature of limitations time limit ran out, and the priests could not be prosecuted.
$$$$$. Human beings are worthless vs corporate profits.
You know that they fly under the radar when Wikipedia has no reference whatsoever to them.
Wow, that’s some biased censorship. The Vatican abuses their “sovereign” power even on the worldwide web.
PLEASE don't confuse being gay with being a pedophile (comment at @40:10). Being gay does not make one desire children.
The victims are boys/young men.
@@LoantakaBrook Yeah that doesn't matter. History shows that hetero predators are often attracted to pre-pubescent boys. LGBT are no more likely to abuse than straight people.
seb. You are right. Being gay does not cause a man to be a pedophile. But a pedophile who is gay will want boys, not girls. Almost all the victims of priests are male, and almost all of them are not little boys. Almost all of the victims are post-pubescent teen age or very young men.
@@LoantakaBrook That is precisely the point.
For me thats obvious although thé fact is many pedophile m'en prey on young boys . Therefore thé implication is there .
Statute of limitations should be removed from the statutes. They did it in UK, Eire, Australia why has the USA not done this?
That's a great question, but I suspect the answer is too many cling to their religious doctrine rather than what's moral or ethical.
@@chestchirecateyes I think so. The US is far too Fundamentalist Christian. An Eye for an Eye. Then they let murderers go. Religious leaders of course would love Double Jeopardy. They could get them & their ministers/priests off charges of murder & sexual assault
@@chestchirecateyes Adam Paul Steed was ruthlessly retaliated against by the good ol' Mormon boys' network, nearly ruined his life when LDS sent him to Jodi Hildebrandt for therapy (google her name if you don't know it).
Abused in Idaho boy scouts, his supportive parents helped him blow the boy scout pedophile coverup wide open and changed the statute of limitations in Idaho.
Just one example of why Americans are afraid. I don't understand why someone would feel the urge to protect an institution over their own child or ANY child and I fear you're right about clinging to religious doctrine.
This is why there is NO reconsiliation until the truth bring's the church and priest's to justice for their crime's. I say take all church's tax excemption away, make them pay billion's in restitution to the victim's. Most importantly the church criminal's need to go to jail. Real men don't make friend's with children, ever.
that's a big Amen !
I wholeheartedly agree!!!
I agree with everything you have said, real men can befriend children but real men don't prey on them sexually.
You just want to tax the Catholic Church out of existence. Good luck with that. The usa gov gives your tax money to the Catholic Church. Please ask them to stop.
agree. take tax exemption away. they will not be hiding anyone.
I felt especially bad for Clohessy, to see his brother become a priest and an abuser
It’s throughout all our families like this. Even if no one joined the priesthood. My family stood up for the pedophiles. I was the only one who stood up for change and I had to leave the family
@@JHabc So similar to mine and others' experience in the LDS Church. I'm so sorry that happened to you, it's not right and I hope you're finding friends to be your family!
@JHabc Many families collude with pedophiles and the cover-up.

i read the book entitled "Prophet for the Priesthood" by Fr. John Hardon, SJ. It sheds much light on the problem, and the Paraclete founder
It's DEMONS PROTECTING DEMONS 😈👿🎃👹👺👿😈🎃😈👿👹👺🤡🤡
My brother in law grew up in Rock Island IL and was an alter boy in the Catholic Church. He passed away last year at age 65 after struggling his whole life with an alcohol addiction. One evening he confessed to me he had been sexually molested by his Priest but said the memories were fuzzy stating he thinks from blocking them out for so long. He lived his whole life with the aftermath of what happened and drank himself to death. The Catholic church can try to cover and protect the guilty all they want. But Gods own word says; “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord Rom 12:19. Just because the system is failing these victims, God will give them justice, his own word condemns them and justice WILL come. “It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God”. ”For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. Heb 10:31. “We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.“
2 Corinthians 5:10. “But remember that they will have to face God, who stands ready to judge everyone, both the living and the dead.“
1 Peter 4:5 Eternity is a long time……
I was thinking along those lines that they may have escaped earthly judgment, but they'll not escape the final judgment.
"better for him that a millstone be hung about his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of my little ones" -Jesus Christ
Also, "God is not mocked."
He was lying
Dittmer does zero therapy. They "monitor " and house these predators
Cushy retirement
what does Jesus advocate for these cases ..? He tells us in The Gospel of Luke, "He said to His disciples, It is impossible that hurt should never be done to men’s consciences; but woe betide the man who is the cause of it. Better for him to have had a millstone tied about his neck, and to be cast into the sea, than to have hurt the conscience of one of these little ones." (chpt 17, vss 1-2) sounds like the death penalty to me... ..?
Actually that verse says it would be _better for them to die_ than to face the judgment of God. The just punishment of the wicked will be worse than death... until finally they are totally destroyed in the lake of fire.
Scary stuff. That's what Jesus went through on the Cross for us. He took the fires of Hell itself and came out clean and Risen on the other side. Amazing grace.
Whoever is reading this: "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your household." Acts 16:31
This an amazing example of the unintended consequences of a good intention: of course we help the shepherd who has stumbled, right?
Things evolve, and before long it's hiding criminals with no accountability. That must change.

Uhhh there's no statute of limitations on rape??
There is in most US states. Also statutes of limitations for childhood sexual abuse
Yes there is..
My wife grew up Catholic she left because she said they just keep changing the rules she was a child when she realized that.
How well has society itself solved sexual abuse?
It hasn,t. And Jesus wept.
I live near this area and have known about the place for over 40 years. It was for where trouble priests go to. I have never heard of any issues or problems about the place. People new to the area ask questions about the place on a public forum. Usually, the answers are no trouble from them.
I grew up in Dittmer, I have always known about this place. It just a few miles from my elementary school and relatively close to the high school. In fact, Lady Queen of Peace had a “troubled” priest which I’m sure ended up there. It sickens me how powerful the Catholic Church is. It has the power to allow such evil to reside next to an elementary school with absolutely no
Consequences. Pure evil.
How do these priests , the bishops, even Pope go to sleep at night? Do they have a conscience?
That’s just it they don’t think what they are doing is wrong / they actually blame the kids / they feel they are forgiven after a few hail marys and yea, it is revolting
They sleep comfortably in their gold gilded king size beds with expensive sheets and throws. They sleep well after they had a delicious meal and watched some TV. They sleep without a conscious because according to them, they have not done anything wrong. "The lord is my shepherd and he created me in his image, therefor I am not evil and if I confess my sins will be forgiven"

Haha they already tried this, nearly buying and island and sending them all there…they decided that would not be a good look for the church either
I’m catholic, I was molest of one priest , but i will be catholic for ever , we have to understand that is not Catholic Church fault its the people in it, all of us commit sins, I understand what this people do is unfortunate, horrible , terrible so sorry for that is been done to you , I will pray for you so we as a family God heal us , I forgive my aggressor , and I pray for him. God be with us.
It most certainly is the church's fault. The church has been protecting pedophile priests for centuries. The predators are transferred from one location to another when they're caught.
Catholicism isn't the only denomination. The Southern Baptist Convention is just as guilty. Give clergy power over people ans some will take advantage of it.

Roman Catholic Canon Law stipulates that the Civil Power has no jurisdiction over the Spiritual Power (The Church) and that the Civil Power must by all means SERVE the Church. That's why "The Church watches The Church". No Civil Authority of any rank has any authority whatsoever over The Church. Further, every property of The Church is a sovereign sanctuary of The Church and no Civil Power may cross the threshold of Church property without the express permission of the local Church Bishop. That's why the worst of the worst pedophile priests are put up in posh protective premises like this one run by the Servants of the Paraclete, which is merely one of countless sacrosanct Church Sanctuaries around the globe. In reality, there is a GLOBAL underground railroad for anything that The Church wants to use it for; pedophiles being only one of them.
Trust me, problem priests are not put in "POSH" places.
👆Convenient, comforting LIES

If this is true I'd love to quote it. I'm writing about the church and that is totally absurd if true. What a shame
US government officials intimately understand this and further they understand that the Vatican runs the world (Rev 17).
After all this exposure, & absolute affirmation of these horrible & despicable deeds, I am stunned that so many Catholics remain in denial & refuse to demand that the elephant in the room be addressed & done away with; THE VOW OF CELIBACY!!
Catholic priest can and do marry. They are part of the Catholic East Rites.
What the heck does celibacy have to do with pedophilia??
Nothing at all to do with the vow of celibacy, not in any way. Wake up.
How about you charge the parents?!
Shocked to hear that clerical paedophiles live a life of relative comfort while others caught for the same thing are ostracized by society. But I too have witnessed such priests in my childhood. Turned me away from the church forever. Can't digest that the church allows this to continue.
it doesn't allow this to continue. What happened is absolutely despicable on so many levels - morally, humanly, ethically etc. It's a monstrous crime. Nonetheless, I know that the church has learned a tough lesson and is taking its steps to 1) deal with past abuse and 2) prevent possible future abuse.imo journalistic reporting is needed sometimes to put on the heat on authorities; but then one needs to acknowledge - as said - that many people in the church want to change the working and implementing with regards to uncovering/preventing abuse. I sure hope that I may be able - within my own sphere of influence - to contribute to the solution
@@DrElli-yk6qj how can you say it doesn’t allow to continue when this is a current news story AND there are still cases coming out…!?$&@

It would be interesting to have a definition of "sexual abuse" - to clarify the parameters in the law of what it considers to be abuse. And how do these standards apply to other professions.
The Papacy needs to devise a very clear, open and transparent policy which will involve a step-by-step process which will outline the actions to be taken as soon as either the Pope or the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF), initiates a Canonical investigation into the allegations. In the 1st instance, that priest would be required to meet with, either his local bishop or, if a priest within a religious order, then he reports to the provincial of that order once weekly. This priest would be removed from any ministry involving minors until the outcome of any Canonical investigation. Should the local law enforcement agencies arrest this priest before the conclusion of the canonical investigation, the church will continue its own investigation. Should the canonical investigation find a criminal case to answer, it should instruct the local bishop to hand the matter over to the authorities and alert the local police services. Should this priest be found guilty by the canonical court, this priest should be immediately forbidden from all ministry and fast-tracked to be laicised. If this priest is found guilty of a criminal act, then the relevant legislation should be applied like any other case of this nature

The coverup continues.In 2020 I received a payment from the Archdiocese of Philadelphiy as a settlement for abuse I suffered back in 1961. In response I promised never to sue the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Reently, I went on their website because I learned that they had published a list of credibly accused priests who had passed away. The priest who abused me was not on the list.

Micheas 7:3-
Catholic Action Edition
"The evil of their hands they call good: the prince requires, and the judge is for giving: and the great man have uttered the desire of his soul, and they have troubled it. He that is best among them is as a briar; and he that is righteous, as the thorn of the hedge....
I'm skeptical of this report, not because I doubt that these priests have commited heinous crimes against children, but because it's not a secret order. I have known about the Servants of the Paraclete for years. They publish their mission and locations in vocational material every publication.
brings new meaning to the phrase "He joined the Paras"
This is going to keep happening until parents are held criminally liable for bringing their children into the Catholic Church. Especially into a private confessional booth with a grown man...
If they choose to do that as an adult that's okay now but it's at this point it's criminal...
10% thats a joke. Its everywhere within the church.
Hundreds of years
'Thou art a priest forever.' Scripture.
I think the image of the church for the faithful was one that would not have allowed this kind abuse to continue once it was discovered without the perpetrators being chastised and turned over to the authorities instead of moving them from parish to parish to continue their abuse and administer their priestly duties. Despite the damage control and secrecy that has been going on for years the cancer that was growing on the church finally erupted and we were shocked and outraged that this abuse reached all the way up into the hierarchy. Many of us have left the formal church wondering if we could ever trust it again. "O what a terrible web we weave when first we practice to deceive."😂😮
LOURDES, FRANCE knows! Ahahahaha! Québec! Ahahahaha!
Isn't it amazing the pope just said that homosexual marriage is okay and that he would bless it a few months ago if that ain't sick
I am not saying this in a defending way at all, this is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. But, where I was raised (eastern catholic) I was aware that not all church leaders are righteous, not every pope is a saint, not everyone goes into religious life for the real spiritual purpose.. so therefore I think I agree with some comments that the problem is with the fact that someone is a pedophile and a sexual predator rather than their position and faith, of course it makes a difference and it adds to the story, but it’s not just the Catholic Church and it’s not just religious organizations and religions overall. Some bosses are sexual predators, teachers, caretakers..etc. and people always blame them (as they should) not their god nor their order. The way this was covered up is disgusting and again I do not agree with it or support it in the slightest, but it goes back to my point of that I believe that the core of the church is Jesus and those who follow his example, which not everyone does and the problem should be with them ! Finally, I think a part of it is for the government to blame too, they deemed him not fit for standing trial plus that statue of limitations thing, they allowed him to stay in that secluded area.. there are so many problems within the government too !
Somebody should have a heart to heart talk with these children before the wrong person does. It's very crucial. I was wasn't warned about my sinners till it was too late at age one. It wasn't in the church. But that's irrelevant. I was a targeted child too. The point is those children need to be warned about those hanous criminals before it's too late.

I wonder if police visited the place with suspects?
@@lesana1191 they'd be arrested long time ago afterward if so, I'd hope.
10% is astonishing 😮
Why wasn't mccarrick jailed?

1, 2, 3 Popes ~ the last 2 KNEW about McCarrick, no doubt about it
@@ShirleyAnnPetrillo-oj7scHe probably would be killed in jail or prison.
I'm a practicing Catholic and I believe in what the Church represents and I trust in its administrators, but then when you hear things like this, where someone is so fundamentally and diabolically destroyed by the very representatives of the institution that is meant to uphold all that is Good and Right and Just and True indeed to harbour Christ himself...well what does one do with this? What does this poor man who was preyed upon do. Where does he turn? May the God of Love who transcends all earthly institutions and human actions protect and restore you fully. Amen Amen. "Where sin abounds grace abounds all the more." Saint Augustine - even the utterances of the Saints sound trite in the face of this kind of deprivation.
all it takes for evil to persist is for good people to do nothing about it
Mditt, there were thousands if young boys attacked in the Newark Diocese during the long mccarrick reign. Look up the statistics.
Every time the coffers ring, a predator priest from purgatory springs...
That's what they did to the LEPERS 😢
This report is pure irony. Perpetrators are handed over to someone to be sequestered and called devils while at the same time whinging on about them not facing consequences. This appears to be primarily an exercise in ax grinding.
They should be in jail.
Very important to talk about until no more kids are abused!
@@Elizabeth-rh1hl how would that be an improvement?
The fixer needs to be a dirty harry type character.
There is no sin in the hearts of ANY 2 people in love.We all want to touch and hold those we cherish.There is sin in LUST as in rape,child molesting child sex trafficking,pornography.etcThere is no heart in any of these. Your treasure is where your heart lays.Mine lays on my chest.
I thought it was a good idea to put them on an island or even a place like this in Missouri. I did not know a priest had done that before. This way it doesn’t cost tax payers anything to house, feed and protect them since they won’t be in general cell population. I DO strongly agree there needs to be conditions, however such as not being able to just come and go, it should be like house arrest. If they did leave, they would be a fugitive, arrested and brought to SECULAR courts, which would likely keep most of them there. Also no minors allowed on the premises below 18 yrs old. Things like that. They could easily support themselves, say Mass for the deceased, ask for donations - they may be corrupted and sinful but their ordination by itself is still in effect. They could also be like Japanese prison system growing their own food. Honestly, it is a good idea overall, just needs to have some policy corrections.
"TREATMENT" - Therapy ???? cant fix this addiction or problem... call it whatever.
Call it demonic possession.

Actually, I've heard of both things many times. I think very few people are not disturbed by Mohammad's 9 year old wife.
The circumcision thing is very controversial. It was believed, way back when, that it prevented blood clots and saved lives. It it now done with a suction device, as there is a bases of the belief that was accurate - suction can prevent blood clots.
I think Dr. Andrew Pickens is one of their psychiatrists. I think his office is in Clayton, Missouri.
They don’t receive treatment at Dittmer, Missouri. They are housed. Pedophilia is untreatable and uncurable.
Ultimately, the Pope - as 'pontifex maximus' - is responsible!

Some are wolves in sheepskin. It seems it's a permissive society.
This is a form of murder . The victims can never reach their full potential that they had before the abuse . That person is dead . What remains is a broken person with broken wings .
This is very bad.
Priests with these leanings were actively recruited! This church has great enemies..
Pure evil
I love my faith handed down from Jesus Christ. I have NEVER put a cardinal, bishop, or priest on a pedestal - that place is reserved for only God. Therefore, I do not fall under the spell of their position....they are like every other human being.... untrustworthy until proven otherwise. A lesson taught to me when my brother got expelled for decking the catholic priest who was the headmaster with a desk who tried to molest him and my mother never believed him. His best friend got sexually abused by the same man a year later and his mother believed him and my brother and that man ended up in jail...
Cover up. More cover ups
😢😢😢 This is so unbiblical what is happening worldwide...These priests are starved sexually by unnatural vows...Marriage is honorable...They are prevented from doing so by their men-made orders...& they become devils...
Celibacy officially started in 1123.
@@ShirleyAnnPetrillo-oj7sc In direct disobedience to God's will..."it is not good for men to be alone..." Poor people stuck in this cruel trap...
You have that backward...these priests are predators that go to the church because they know they will be protected .
No normal man would be interested in sexually attacking a young boy.
They're predators.
I've been looking into how degraded Hinduism is. It's like there is some controlling mechanism that introduces weird rituals or templates into all religions that present offers to these predators that they can't resist.
I understand that the Catholic Church is actually the thinking the Celibacy requirement for priests. We'll see what happens.
This doesn't address the core issue. How does (in theory) abstinence cause homosexual child molestation?
Not everyone has that ability or gift to be celibate. The bible was right when it said not to forbid a man to marry.
@@Dustandfuzz Exactly, that's why choir boys have sore butts, but the "bible" has diddlysquat to with anything, let alone what cults sell the fearful masses.
It doesn't. It is an excuse that the Church made up to portray these villains as victims of circumstances. Predators are attracted to ministry because they know it offers a shield and they get off on exerting authority over others.
@@Dustandfuzz Then why do all the bible thumpers preach abstinence to kids? They simply deny human nature.
Most sex offenses are committed from Men that are married and with partners. With Priests abuse is who they have access to - children, alter boys. Those are who spends the most times w the alter boys. There is no such thing as "alter girls," in Catholicism
I don’t believe it’s 10%
Will your next investigative piece be on public school teaschers..especially female ones? Or do you just target political enemies with the scary music in the background.

How many of the sex criminals are sent back into ministry from this retreat compound?
never trust any Catholic priest.
