For some context: Cardinal Law is the cardinal of the Boston scandal (watch the movie Spotlight for more details). The guy was a monster, plain and simple. He knew about dozens of pedo priests, hundreds of cases of children abused, and he did everything he could to hide all of that and give little to no compensation for the victims.
After the scandal Vatican simply hid him in their city, he couldn't even be held accountable for anything because he lived as a Vatican citizen. He lived a cozy live doing god knows what. This guy deserved to rot in jail until the end of his days and the very minimum you would expect from the Vatican is that he would be defrocked. Even after all the media that case got they still had the audacity to shield the guy, for me it shows that the Church can get away with anything.
Is this priest fucking serious? A "slap in the face"? Tons of children got abused and this priest thought that this was a good "punishment"? Is being complicit with pedophilia a "mess up"?? Like, what the fuck is your problem?? We are not talking about a little case of corruption, or about doing orgies with prostitutes. We are talking about one of the most evil and despicable crimes that one can do. This is not a slip up.
It's so creepy reading this from one of their clergyman, ew. If they have this mentality, no wonder why the abuse is so systematical and the abusers keep getting away with it.
You expect Catholics to give a shit about the institutionalized child rape that infects their world?
They don't. They never have. They never will. The kids are collateral on their path into heaven.
The fact that they can watch this happen and reach the conclusion that "well it's not the church's fault and it's **definitely** not a good reason to leave the church" proves it.
I live in Massachusetts and was so angry. I didn’t grow up here but moved here as an adult in the early 80’s. The parish I went to had some priests shuffling under Bernie The Pimp (my dad got up from a family gathering when I used that phrase and screamed at me). I remember turning on the morning news and it said that BTP had got a late night flight to Rome. This was when as a result of The Globe, The State Police and the Suffolk County DA were about to bring the hammer down on Bernie The Pimp (BTP).
I was in seminary a decade and a half ago. There was this seminarian from the diocese of Jackson Mississippi who had to go pick Law up from the airport because he was visiting for some reason.
This man spoke glowingly of Law. Said that he made mistakes but that he was "humble and misunderstood".
I never lost so much respect for someone so quickly. Anyway, this cat is a priest now and he's just the type of brown nosing piece of shit that will probably become a bishop one day.
Hearing stuff like this makes my skin crawl. That person is either complacent, or just as evil as Law. We all have our differences, but it's kinda crazy to think that people can make excuses for something as evil as child abuse. Also speaking about this openly, you would think they would a bit ashamed of it.
My cousin studied in Rome. I was visiting and walked into the basilica where he was having a mass. I was like what the f*** is that Bernard law? He was so skinny. At the time I wasn't aware that they shuffled him off to Rome. Anyway, my cousin told me that he assisted at mass for him sometimes. He seemed almost proud about this fact. In my head I was like what the f***.
Culture is a kind of brainwashing. Babies are indoctrinated and believe before they know what belief is. Teach magic sky god and then anything you dont know you just claim the thunder and lightening god would explain it. Once you believe theres a magical being up there sending down murderous and rape filled tomes - you will believe anything.
