Clerical sexual abuse allegations have been made against Roman Catholic priests, monks, and nuns. Several major lawsuits were filed in 2001 alleging that Catholic priests had sexually abused minors. Some priests resigned, others were defrocked or jailed,and financial settlements totaling in the hundreds of millions of dollars were made with many victims.The cases became ongoing national news in the U.S. with the accusations made against Paul Shanley and John Geoghan, and publicized by the Boston Globe in 2002.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops commissioned a comprehensive study that found that four percent of all priests who had served in the U.S. from 1950 to 2002 faced some sort of sexual accusation.According to this report, common actions included touching adolescent males under their clothes and removal of clothing, but more serious acts were committed in many cases. The Church was widely criticized when it was discovered that some bishops knew about allegations and reassigned the accused instead of removing them, although school administrators engaged in a similar manner when dealing with accused teachers, as have the Scouts and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Some bishops and psychiatrists noted that the prevailing psychology of the times suggested that people could be cured of such behavior through counseling. Many of the abusive priests had received counseling before being reassigned.-wiki

Ive always wondered …
Ive always wondered why the suicide rate in Ireland is high. Think of the amount of people who never even told 1 other person of the pain from abuse never mind inquiries, judgement of local communities etc and couldn’t cope with it. Organised religions such as this are wrong and damage in soo many in other less ‘shocking’ ways.

I think Nazi’s …
I think Nazi’s would be shocked by the level of abuse inflicted on those children by those s. I’m surprised churches all over Ireland are not being burned on a daily basis and rightly so. The people had no problem burning the British embassy or buring the homes of English landlords when it suited them so why not those pigs?
High suicide rate, …
High suicide rate, chronic alcoholism, pre-disposed to depression, anger management problems. We’ve got it all here haven’t we? We don’t listen nearly enough either, there is a culture of “We don’t talk about that or sure everyone was at it…” so nothing gets resolved or rectified. No-one listened when I complained of bullying and every sort of abuse you can imagine and some you couldn’t. I got sick of not being believed and went to live in a country which is much more emotionally intelligent

True, if anyone thinks that this is just an Irish thing they are sadly mistaken.
Organised religions have and always will be a social cancer.
I am more than …
I am more than aware that abuse of this kind is going on all over the world. As an Irish person, I am angry with systematic abuse that went on for so long in this country, and the abuse that continues today. This has happened and is happening the world over. It should not be tolerated any longer!
