However, the Catholic church has such a high rate of pedophilia, they understand.<br><br>The Catholic church admitted in their own John Jay report that in the 70s/80s, 8-10% of Catholic priests were child sex abusers, and 72% of those were pedophiles. In society, its a fraction of one percent.<br><br>However, psychiatrists will tell you that only 1 out of 3 victims comes forward, especially since they know that satan's little minions in the Catholic church will immediately accuse them of lying, and the Catholic church will never voluntarily admit the pedophile protection proof that hey have in their "secret archives" (like the ones Cardinal Bevilacqua destroyed with proof of 35 known pedophiles, which Bevilacqua released into the wild until 2011).<br><br>Therefore, its realistic that at least 20-30% of Catholic priests raped a child, but that's not the only definition of pedophilia. A pedophile is one who "thinks" about raping a child. You can be at least another 30% thought about raping a child but didn’t act on it, but here's the key:<br><br>Catholic priests understand men raping children.<br><br>Then priests get angry "just because a priest raped a child", and will consider the accused priest a victim. This isn't God's church.neilallen76http://www.blogger.com/profile/04966954580793318142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-35625386084106613662012-04-26T14:16:12.059-04:002012-04-26T14:16:12.059-04:00In the twisted world of the AOP, the priest abuser...In the twisted world of the AOP, the priest abuser is really the "victim," after all, they go out of their way to protect and care for the priest, and the abused is secondary. So, St John Vianney would be considered a neutral site for the poor priest who they believe was probably seduced by some kid. You do realize that Lynn's brother priests gave him a standing ovation at the Cardinal's dinner earlier this year? When was the last time the AOP or priests acknowledged the victims by standing up. At the same dinner, the Cardinal expressed support for Lynn during his troubled times. It is very clear that the AOP considers themselves the victim.kopridehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14033734864815154844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-80436509551990351082012-04-26T13:19:14.753-04:002012-04-26T13:19:14.753-04:00"I didn't want this to happen to anybody ..."I didn't want this to happen to anybody else," the witness told the jury.

You can imagine that some have even kept the abuse hidden from their spouse or family, and it is their story to tell. I understood your initial rationale, and often secrecy is a tool that allows the sex offender to re-offend because the victim resolved the matter confidentiality, but the balancing test should ultimately fall on the victim's right to privacy.kopridehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14033734864815154844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-90860616048160567242012-04-26T08:30:12.457-04:002012-04-26T08:30:12.457-04:00I'd like to explain a policy change here.

There were so many unforeseen consequences of this that the damage toll was mounting. One example sticks out in my mind; a female victim who came forward to tell her story, and also mentioned two sisters that were also molested. When we outed her, we outed her sisters, who never came to court, nor were they ever consulted in the matter. <br><br>I could go on. Let's also say that naming victims' names also caused problems with some long-standing law enforcement type sources of mine with way more experience in this area who basically told me this was a huge mistake. So our new strategy is, we're not going to out anybody unless they've outed themselves first, and want to be outed. Like one victim who filed a civil lawsuit and also requested that his name be used. So let's see how this goes.Ralph Ciprianohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12188557653424544411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8876661997317409023.post-32458384477772103002012-04-26T06:35:10.105-04:002012-04-26T06:35:10.105-04:00As shocking as are Avery's crimes, they are co...As shocking as are Avery's crimes, they are common among the seven thousand pedophile priests identified in bishopaccountability.org.
