Pedophile Catholic Priests Settle With Victims For $166 MILLION

The settlement between more than 450 victims and the Oregon Province of the Society of Jesus is one of the largest in the Catholic church’s sweeping sex abuse scandal. It also calls for a written apology to the victims. The province previously settled another 200 claims. Then the organization filed for bankruptcy in 2009, claiming the payments depleted its treasury. But victims argued the province remained wealthy because it controls several schools and properties. The relationship between the Jesuit order and other Jesuit properties, including Gonzaga University, has been an issue in bankruptcy proceedings. But both the college and the province maintain they are separate entities.

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” 1 Timothy 4:1-3

SEATTLE — The settlement between more than 450 victims and the Oregon Province of the Society of Jesus is one of the largest in the Catholic church’s sweeping sex abuse scandal. It also calls for a written apology to the victims.

The Catholic Church seems lost and unable to do anything to stop the abuse by priests of children placed under their care.

 

“It’s a day of reckoning and justice,” said Clarita Vargas, who said she and her two sisters were abused by the head of St. Mary’s Mission and School, a former Jesuit-run Indian boarding school on the Colville Indian Reservation near Omak, Wash., in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The abuse began when they were as young as 6 or 7, she said. “My spirit was wounded, and this makes it feel better.”

The province previously settled another 200 claims. Then the organization filed for bankruptcy in 2009, claiming the payments depleted its treasury. But victims argued the province remained wealthy because it controls several schools and properties. The relationship between the Jesuit order and other Jesuit properties, including Gonzaga University, has been an issue in bankruptcy proceedings. But both the college and the province maintain they are separate entities. Many of the abuses happened in remote villages and on reservations. The order was accused of using those areas as dumping grounds for problem priests. Both the order and its insurers are paying into the settlement.” source – MSNBC

An Investigation Into The Roman Catholic Church In Baltimore Shows Child Sex Abuse And Torture By Priests That Was All Swept Under The Rug

A four-year investigation of Baltimore’s Roman Catholic archdiocese reveals the scope of 80 years of child sex abuse and torture by priests and how church officials often covered it up and, in some cases, paved the way for further abuse.

While it is true that you will see this type of depraved activity taking place in some Protestant and Baptist churches, nothing comes close to the level on which it takes place within the cloistered walls of the Roman Catholic Church. Not only that, the Catholic Church at its highest levels, the Vatican, has always known about the child sex abuse going on, and they have all, Pope Francis included, worked to cover it up to some degree. The Catholic Church is filled to overflowing with pedophile priests, and they seem to like it that way because they don’t work to stop it.

“And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.” 2 Chronicles 11:15 (KJB)

The First Baptist Church of Hammond Indiana, under the leadership of Jack Hyles, was a hotbed of sexual abuse, with people like AV Ballenger spending 5 years in jail for his crimes that were covered up by Hyles. Hyles even held a fundraising ‘appreciation dinner’ for Ballenger after he was convicted of abusing children. Hyles successor Jack Scapp spent a decade in prison for sex with a minor. That’s pretty sick and demented. But the Roman Catholic Church operates on a whole different level by a factor of one hundred, and on a global scale. From the top down, the Catholic Church remains largely and mostly unrepentant for their sexual sins against children, offering up the merest of lip service but never making any changes until they get caught.

Report shows ‘astonishing’ depravity in sexual abuse of more than 600 in Baltimore’s Catholic archdiocese

FROM THE BALTIMORE SUN: Among the accounts: A deacon who admitted abusing more than 100 children. A priest who chained and whipped boys for his gratification. Another priest who, after receiving psychiatric treatment, went on to abuse 20 students at a Baltimore boys’ school.

The Maryland Attorney General’s Office released Wednesday its “Report on Child Sexual Abuse in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.” Its nearly 500 pages tell how 156 clergy and other Church officials tormented more than 600 children and young adults, dating back to the 1940s. The Baltimore archdiocese covers Baltimore City and nine counties in Central and Western Maryland.

Spurred by the report’s publication, the General Assembly sent a bill Wednesday to Democratic Gov. Wes Moore’s desk that would make it easier for survivors to sue the institutions that employed their abusers.

The report names at least 36 abusers who are not listed on the Archdiocese of Baltimore’s online list of 152 priests and brothers credibly accused of abuse. Ten more abusers’ names were redacted. Other diocesan officials’ identities are redacted also, and the Catholic Church paid at least some of the legal costs for a group of people who sought to have their names shielded.

“Today is a win for me,” said Donna Von Den Bosch, a retired nurse and victim of Father Joseph Maskell and Father Neil Magnus in Baltimore. “It’s not entirely what I wanted because a lot has been redacted, but I just take it one day at a time.”

Victims lobbied the attorney general’s office to start the investigation, particularly after the Pennsylvania attorney general produced a similar report in 2018. Then-Attorney General Brian Frosh, a Democrat, launched Maryland’s probe shortly thereafter. Investigators interviewed hundreds of survivors and pored over hundreds of thousands of church documents.

The abuse’s breadth and depravity is “astonishing,” the report’s authors wrote. READ MORE

As A Cardinal In Poland, Pope John Paul II Covered Up Child Sex Abuse At Hands Of Roman Catholic Priests By Having Them Transferred Far Away

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The late Polish pope John Paul II knew about child sexual abuse in Poland’s Catholic church years before becoming pontiff and helped cover it up, a new report has claimed.

Did you know that Pope John Paul II is now Saint John Paul II, and has a massive idol dedicated to himself at the National Shrine in Washington, DC? Did you further know that then-president Donald Trump and his wife Melania paid a worshipful visit there in 2020 to lay down a wreath and pray, presumably to Saint Johnny, while kneeling at the altar? What’s that you say, ‘make America great again’, you say? You better start tearing down the idols first. Especially if your idol covered up heinous crimes of child sexual abuse by his Roman Catholic priests.

“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.” Revelation 17:4-6 (KJB)

Had a great talk with my buddy Craig the other day, about how it looks like that ‘MYSTERY BABYLON’ might encompass more than just the Roman Catholic Church and the Vatican. What with the current pope Francis creating the One World Religion of Chrislam and all. I pray for the souls trapped in this system, as I once was, but I pray in agreement with Revelation 18 that the system itself will be set on fire and burnt to the ground, which it will at the end of the Great Tribulation. In the meantime, here is yet another story about popes covering up child sexual abuse at the hands of Roman Catholic priests. Is Saint John Paul II your idol?

Pope John Paul II ‘covered up child sexual abuse while a cardinal in Poland and transferred paedophile priests to avoid a scandal’

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: Michal Gutowski, the investigator behind the report for private broadcaster TVN, said that Karol Wojtyla, as he then was, knew of cases of paedophile priests within the church while still a cardinal in Krakow.

He transferred the priests to other dioceses – one as far away as Austria – to ensure no scandal ensued, the investigator said.

Wojtyla, who was pope for 27 years from 1978 until his death in 2005, wrote a letter of recommendation for a priest accused of abuse to Vienna cardinal Franz Koenig, without mentioning the accusations, says Gutowski.

During his investigation, Gutowski says he spoke to victims of paedophile priests, their families and former church diocese employees. He cites documents from the former Communist-era SB secret police and rare church documents to which he managed to get access. But Gutowski said the Krakow diocese had refused him access to its own documentary archives for his investigation. The Polish church has in the past refused to provide documents to the judiciary or a public commission of enquiry investigating cases of church abuse of minors.

One of Gutowski’s sources said on condition of anonymity that he had personally told Wojtyla about acts of paedophilia concerning one priest in 1973.

‘Wojtyla first wanted to make sure it wasn’t a bluff,’ the source said. ‘He asked it not be reported anywhere – he said he would deal with it.’

The then-cardinal had explicitly requested the alleged affair be kept strictly under wraps, the source is said to have told Gutowski.

Thomas Doyle, an American former Catholic priest, canon law scholar, and the author of one of the first reports of Catholic clergy abuse in the United States, said Gutowski’s investigation was groundbreaking. It showed that John Paul II knew this problem existed even before he became pope, he argued. The broadcast of the investigation in traditionally Catholic Poland comes soon after a Polish-based Dutch journalist, Ekke Overbeek, made similar accusations. Overbeek’s book, Maxima Culpa, is due to go on sale in Poland this week.

Over the past two years, and amid several reports of abuse of minors in the Polish church, the Vatican has sanctioned several high-ranking church officials for having covered up paedophilia by members of the clergy.

As the time of his election, John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope since the 16th century, and the longest-serving pope in modern history after Pope Pius IX in the 1800s. He has been credited with being instrumental in bringing down Communism in Central and Eastern Europe, and even survived three assassination attempts – one of which saw him shot and another saw him narrowly avoid being stabbed. He made public apologies to many groups that had suffered at the hands of the Catholic Church over the centuries. READ MORE

Despite knowing about extensive sexual abuse allegations against Theodore McCarrick, Pope John Paul II still promoted him to archbishop and then cardinal.

With The World Distracted From COVID-19 Hysteria, Convicted Catholic Child Molester Cardinal George Pell Released From Prison As Pope Celebrates

The Vatican rejoices after court overturns the conviction of Cardinal George Pell on charges of sexually assaulting minors, enabling him to leave prison.

The Vatican responded in a measured way to the decision by Australia’s High Court on April 7 to overturn the conviction of Cardinal George Pell on charges of sexually assaulting minors, enabling him to leave prison.

Pope Francis is a remarkably evil man, and his wickedness seemingly knows no bounds. We have told you here on NTEB how Pope Francis has repeatedly refused to stop pedophile priests from molesting young boys and girls, even going so far as to cover it up and then lie about it. He even told a man named Juan Carlos Cruz, who was raped in Chile by Roman Catholic priest Fernando Karadima, that is was “ok to be gay” after being repeatedly assaulted by a homosexual pedophile priest. This is the level at the bottom of the gutter that Pope Francis feels most at home in.

Now do you see why the hosts of Heaven REJOICE when God destroys the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Whore of Babylon in the Tribulation? Heaven rejoices because Rome in every form has always been the enemy of God and God’s blood-bought people. Amen.

“And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.” Revelation 18 (KJB)

Now that you’re up to speed, let’s look at today’s most-recent Vatican abomination. Last year, Cardinal George Pell was arrested, tried by a jury of his peers, convicted and sent to prison for sexually molesting two young boys. Pope Francis was, in spite of the clear evidence, Pell’s biggest defender. Remember, this was no small matter, Cardinal George Pell was the third highest-ranking member of the Vatican! Did you really think the Great Whore would allow him to stay in prison? Nope.

Pope Francis has recalled the “persecution that Jesus suffered” and has prayed for those who suffer “unjust sentences” hours after Australia’s highest court acquitted cardinal George Pell of child sexual abuse. READ MORE

While all the world has been fatally distracted in a COVID-19 frenzy, an Australian court quietly overturned his rightful conviction, acquitted him and set him free. How did Pope Francis respond? By comparing the imprisoning of convicted Roman Catholic child molester Cardinal George Pell to the ‘sufferings of Jesus’. That’s all I can write on this subject for now, as the vomit is backing up in my throat and I need to go spit and rinse. But before I go, let me say this. As someone who was molested sexually as a small child by a pedophile man, I understand a little of what that pain is all about,and how it stays with you for the rest of your life.

My heart breaks for everyone who has been assaulted in that way. But to look at Pope Francis, and know how he covers for pedophile priests, works to keep justice from being served, and then rejoices when they are set free because of political favors and pressures, that to me, is Antichrist in the flesh. Now, I really need to go rinse off from this story.

Vatican responds with measure to Cardinal Pell’s acquittal and release from prison

FROM AMERICAN MAGAZINE: In a statement issued in English, Italian and Spanish shortly after midday in Rome, the Vatican press office said:

The Holy See, which has always expressed confidence in the Australian judicial authority, welcomes the High Court’s unanimous decision concerning Cardinal George Pell, acquitting him of the accusations of abuse of minors and overturning his sentence. Entrusting his case to the court’s justice, Cardinal Pell has always maintained his innocence and has waited for the truth to be ascertained. At the same time, the Holy See reaffirms its commitment to preventing and pursuing all cases of abuse against minors.

The statement closely mirrored earlier statements in March 2019, when the cardinal was condemned and sentenced to six years in prison, and in August 2019, when the Victoria Court of Appeal rejected his appeal against the conviction. It reaffirmed its confidence in the Australian justice system, welcomed “the unanimous” decision of the High Court to acquit the cardinal and overturn his conviction and, significantly, reaffirmed “its commitment to preventing and pursuing all cases of abuse against minors.”

The Vatican statement made no reference to the investigation into the allegations of abuse against Cardinal Pell, which the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith opened following the conviction and sentencing of the cardinal in March 2019. The Vatican said then that its investigation would not go ahead until the judicial process in Australia had ended. Some sources in Rome think the Vatican inquiry may be terminated given the fact that the cardinal has spent over 400 days in solitary confinement on charges for which he has now been acquitted by the High Court.

Earlier that morning, in his introduction to Mass in the chapel of Santa Marta, the Vatican guesthouse where he lives, Pope Francis spoke about those who suffer “unjust sentences” in a comment that was interpreted by many in the Vatican as alluding to what had happened to Cardinal Pell, though the pope never mentioned his name. (He used the Italian expression “una sentenza per l’accanimento,” which could be translated as “a decision that is unjust due to hostile prejudice”).

Francis said, “In these days of Lent we have seen the persecution that Jesus suffered and how the doctors of the law went relentlessly against him, and he was judged ferociously, even though he was innocent.” He concluded with these words: “I would like to pray today for all those persons that suffer an unjust sentence out of rage.” In a tweet published later, the last three words were translated as “because someone had it in for them.”

WHO IS ‘MYSTERY,BABYLON FROM REVELATION 17? TAKE A WILD GUESS.

Cardinal George Pell, 78, was being held in Barwon prison in Geelong, a community 47 miles southwest of Melbourne, when he was informed by his lawyers of the High Court’s decision to overturn his conviction and acquit him. The seven judges, in a unanimous decision that overturned the cardinal’s convictions, commented, “There is a significant possibility that an innocent person has been convicted because the evidence did not establish guilt to the requisite standard of proof.”

Some two hours later, the cardinal was driven from the prison to a Carmelite convent in the Melbourne suburb of Kew, where, as could be seen in a video posted in various media, a religious sister welcomed him and led him inside. He is likely to stay at the convent for some time due to the travel restrictions imposed by Australian authorities because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Cardinal Pell issued a statement after his release in which he thanked everyone who had prayed for him and sent letters of support, as well as his family, his “team of advisers,” “friends and supporters here and overseas,” and especially his “legal team for their support.” READ MORE
