[2009 may] The Never-Ending State and Church Crime Story Like a little boy caught with a rock in his hand, Pope Joseph is in serious trouble, now that Canada has had to admit that thousands of native kids died at the hands of the Catholic church, which established and ran most of the Indian residential schools. But to make things worse, Joe himself is personally implicated in the whole mess, since in writing he ordered Bishops and priests to suppress evidence of the violence done against not only native children, but any victim of priestly sexual assault, on pain of excommunication. Covering up a crime is itself a crime, under any law, and Joe knows it. And so does the Oregon circuit court judge who ruled recently that survivors of any assault by a Catholic priest could sue the Vatican itself for damages.
[2007] Catholic church in LA to pay £325m compensation to child abuse victims 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. ....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. ....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."
[2006] Pope 'led cover-up of child abuse by priests' The Pope played a leading role in a systematic cover-up of child sex abuse by Roman Catholic priests,.....In 2001, while he was a cardinal, he issued a secret Vatican edict to Catholic bishops all over the world, instructing them to put the Church's interests ahead of child safety. The programme also accuses the Catholic Church of knowingly harbouring paedophile clergymen. It reveals that priests accused of child abuse are generally not struck off or arrested but simply moved to another parish, often to reoffend. It gives examples of hush funds being used to silence the victims.
[2006] Sex crimes and the Vatican It imposes an oath of secrecy on the child victim, the priest dealing with the allegation and any witnesses. Breaking that oath means excommunication from the Catholic Church.

[2006 USA] 'Satanic' art in Catholic Church exposed Could the Roman Catholic Church's sex abuse crisis be tied to embedded Satanic and occultic imagery in its artwork – some of it hundreds of years old? ....The film, which is being released by Silver Sword International, contends a major cause of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church could be due to prolonged exposure to sexual and satanic images being incorporated into the religious art.
[2002] Suing the Pope The Catholic Church did not tell the locals that Fr Fortune was a brutal, predatory paedophile. They organised delegations to two Bishops - wrote to the Papal Nuncio and the Vatican. The church promised it would do something. It never did....But what the locals did not know was that Fr Fortune already faced mounting allegations of child sexual abuse. The Catholic Church kept this knowledge to itself. 18 years after the first complaint, the Catholic Church was finally forced to remove him from duties.
