Cardinals

The Cardinal’s Sins

Clerical Sex Abuse CartoonThe Roman Catholic Church has been rocked, once again, by revelations of atrocious crimes committed by the clergy and Cardinals.  The  Pennsylvania Grand Jury Investigation Report documents the latest revelations.  Stop and read the report introduction.  It can be found here for download or here to read online.  Some of the main takeaways are as follows:

  • The Roman Catholic Church acted as if following “a playbook for concealing the truth.”1Reference page 3 of the introduction.  Members from the FBI National Center for Analysis of Violent Crimes assisted with this determination.
  • The Church has put its reputation above the welfare of children.
  • The Church does not and has not followed Civil Laws by failing to report predator priests to law enforcement.

With this in mind, consider the structure of the Roman Catholic Church.  The “pope” or Pontifex Maximus is at the top, followed by the red hat Cardinals.  There are currently 224 Cardinals, of which 16 reside in the United States.

The Pope selects the Cardinals.  Likewise, the Cardinals elect the Pope.   Birds of a feather, flock together.  

These 225 leaders “shepherd” 1.2 billion Catholics worldwide.  That congregation includes A LOT of children.  It is time to look deeper into these unclean birds.  What is going on and above all, where is God?!

Bishops – Pedophile Protectors, Promoted by Francis

Osorno, Chile

Pope Francis continues to lead a house of pedophiles with tolerance for the accused and disregard for the victims as was recently confirmed through his leadership promotions. A small town in southern Chile has come into the spotlight with the promotion of Juan Barros Madrid to the position of Bishop. Juan is not unique to the Catholic organization in that he has been accused of covering up the crimes of his mentor by destroying letters from victims. The victims also accuse Juan of being present in the room while they were sexually abused. If that is the case, he is also a participant in the crimes, a criminal himself. The confirmed abuser, Karadima, was found guilty by the Vatican and sentenced to a life of “penitence and prayer”.
