Its an extention of this...


Mass child abuse and rape in church childrens homes and by priests and nuns in general often in the name of christians sick and perverse notion of morality and sin based on sexaul repression.


With documentent orders from the vatican and last and urrent pope that all cases of child abuse reported are to be repressed, gagged, pretended not to occur and priests moved on to new parishes (and new playthings to abuse)

This is not just in America but world wide church policy and linked to things like this

The magdelen Laundries where up to 1996 the evil church imprsioned with the FULL KNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT OF MOST OF IRELAND and places like this operated in other countires like Austrailia where girls could be imprsioned for life for flirting, dating and getting pregnant where there were no legal contraceptives or proper if any sex ed with babies torn from your mothers arms.



'The Magdelen Sisters' should be in your video shop but the tv drama 'sinners' was more accurate if you can find it.
over 30,000 were involved up till 1996...how old were you at that time?
How many of your friends, you or your sister could have ended up here.

Abusing, raping, and ripping the babies from the arms of 30,000 girls up to just 10 years ago

Answer 2

Matthew 16:4 An EVIL and ADULTEROUS generation seeks after a sign; and a sign will not be given it,
Total amount paid out by the U.S. church since 1950 to more than $2 billion
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19762878/
Settlement represents Church’s largest payout in sexual abuse scandal on account of sexual abuse by catholic church.
LOS ANGELES - The nation’s largest Catholic archdiocese will settle its clergy sex abuse cases for at least $600 million, by far the largest payout in the church’s sexual abuse scandal, The Associated Press learned Saturday.
Attorneys for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the plaintiffs will release a statement Sunday morning and hold a news conference Monday, said Ray Boucher, the lead plaintiff’s attorney.
An anonymous source with knowledge of the deal placed its value at $660 million, by far the largest payout in the church’s sexual abuse scandal. The amount exceeded earlier reports from sources that the settlement would be between $600 million and $650 million — $1.2 million and $1.3 million per plaintiff.
Priests’ files would be released
Some Roman Catholic orders — the Servites, Clairites and Oblates — will be carved out of the agreement because they refused to participate, the source said. The settlement also calls for the release of confidential priest personnel files after review by a judge assigned to oversee the litigation, Boucher said.
The settlements push the total amount paid out by the U.S. church since 1950 to more than $2 billion, with about a quarter of that coming from the Los Angeles archdiocese.
It wasn’t immediately clear how the payout would be split among the insurers, the archdiocese and several Roman Catholic religious orders. A judge must sign off on the agreement.
The release of the priest documents was important to the agreement, Boucher said, because it could reveal whether archdiocesan leaders were involved in covering up for abusive priests.
“Transparency is a critical part of this and of all resolutions,” he said

Answer 3

Are you talking about how the Catholic church paid 650 million for those who had been molested by priests over the last several decades?

Yes, this has been in the news for awhile about 750 people accross the united states (mostly boys/men) have filed a suit against the Catholic church for sexual abuse by priests. They are being awarded about 1.5 million dollars each. Terrible, terrible tragedy for these poor kids who were abused by people they and their parents trusted.

Answer 4

I found this:

CHURCH leaders in America's largest Roman Catholic archdiocese are to pay a record $660 million (£325 million) to compensate hundreds of children who were molested by paedophile priests.

The Los Angeles settlement is the largest since a national sex abuse scandal erupted in Boston five years ago, forcing some dioceses to close parishes and sell property to meet the claims and driving others into bankruptcy

Each of the 508 claimants will receive about $1.3 million if a judge in Los Angeles this morning approves a deal that will also halt legal proceedings against 15 accused priests and spare senior church officials from taking the stand.

"Some of the victims have waited more than five decades for a chance at reconciliation and resolution," said Raymond Boucher, the victims' lead lawyer. "This is a down payment on a debt long overdue."

The case is among the most prominent of several around the US that have cost the Catholic church more than $2 billion (£983 million) in compensation payments. The previous biggest pay-out to victims was $157 million by the Boston archdiocese in 2003.

A year later, a report commissioned by the church revealed more than 4,000 of its priests had faced sexual abuse allegations in the last 50 years and that there were more than 10,000 victims, mostly boys.

Much of the controversy centred on how the church knew of the abuse in many cases but covered it up, allowing priests to transfer to other parishes, where they could continue to prey on children.

The scandal elicited an apology from the late Pope John Paul II and prompted a Vatican investigation.

This is the second time that the Archdiocese of Los Angeles has paid out this year after settling a claim by another 45 alleged abuse victims for $60 million in January.

Barbara Blaine, the founder of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said: "The amount of money involved points to the extent of the scale of the abuse.

"Credit for this settlement goes to the courageous victims who came forward and told of the horrors they experienced. Many predators would still be working in churches now if not for their bravery in speaking up.

"The bottom line is that the church is safer now, and kids are safer. "

Church officials in Los Angeles settled because they were keen to avoid even larger punitive damages at civil trials due to begin in the city today.

Michael Hennigan, the church's attorney, said the archdiocese would sell its administrative building and contribute $250 million, the rest coming from insurers, but had no plans to close churches, as happened in Boston and the diocese of Portland, Oregon, which filed for bankruptcy in 2003 after a $129 million payout.

The Los Angeles archdiocese is estimated to own at least 1,600 properties valued at more than $4 billion.

"The mission of the church will be impacted but not crippled," Mr Hennigan said.

Steve Sanchez, who was abused by a Los Angeles priest when he was a boy, said: "Hundreds of hurting men and women desperately need intense therapy, addiction counselling, drug rehab, in-patient treatment and medical help."

Just because someone says Lord, Lord does not make them a Christian, even then Christians are still open to temptation if they get their eyes off of Jesus.
The financial fines are not enough, these people also need to be removed from places of authority.
