So an administrator who allowed multiple employees to rape children and did nothing about it gets a wee short sentence.

Are all Catholics cowards like this fool?

Missouri: Priest to Plead Guilty in Child Pornography Case

The Rev. Shawn Ratigan, a priest in Kansas City who is accused of producing pornographic photographs of young girls he knew, has filed notice that he will plead guilty in federal court on Thursday. He had previously pleaded not guilty and was to be tried this month. Diocesan employees discovered hundreds of images of girls’ [unmentionable bits] on a laptop computer the priest had taken in for repair in December 2010. Father Ratigan then survived a suicide attempt, and was reassigned to live in a church facility where he continued to have contact with children. The case led to the indictment of his superior, Bishop Robert Finn, and the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, on a misdemeanor charge of failing to report suspected child abuse. They are scheduled for trial in September.

Missouri priest to plead guilty in child porn case

August 02, 2012 17:58 GMT

By BILL DRAPER Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- A Kansas City priest is expected to plead guilty in a federal child pornography case that led to misdemeanor criminal charges against his bishop and the Catholic diocese.

A lawyer for the Rev. Shawn Ratigan said the priest planned to plead guilty during a hearing Thursday afternoon. He was scheduled for trial later this month for production, possession and attempted production of child porn.

In December 2010 a technician found "troubling images" of children Ratigan's laptop computer. The photos weren't turned over to police until May 2011, after Ratigan violated orders from Bishop Robert Finn to stay away from children.

Finn and the diocese are charged in Jackson County with failing to report suspected child abuse to the state. Both have pleaded not guilty.

Is there any truth in the rumor that he is recorded as saying, "Pass me another choir boy, this one's split..."?

I think we should be told.

Re: Roman Catholic sex scandal of the day

The Roman institution owns one German pornography-publishing company and half of another and is either willfully ignorant or willing to lie about it.

Unsaved "news" source:

Catholic Church Makes A Fortune In The German Porn Business

"Weltbild," Germany’s largest media company, sells books, DVDs, music and more -- and also happens to belong 100% to the Catholic Church. Few people knew about this connection until this month when Buchreport, a German industry newsletter, reported that the Catholic company also sells porn.

A Church spokesman responded: “Weltbild tries to prevent the distribution of possibly pornographic content.”

Well, it's prevention efforts have apparently not been so successful. For more than 10 years, a group of committed Catholics has been trying to point out what is going on to Church authorities, and they are outraged at the hypocrisy of the spokesman's statement. In 2008, the group sent a 70-page document to all the bishops whose dioceses have shared ownership of Weltbild for 30 years, detailing evidence of the sale of questionable material.

The Church also owns a 50% share in publishing company Droemer Knaur which produces pornographic books, and so indirectly is also a publisher of pornographic material....

Police: Woodburn priest chased boy down street after abuse

It was close to midnight Sunday when Woodburn resident James Curths saw the 12-year-old boy running down the street toward him. Curths said the child, panting and out of breath, begged for help, telling him a man was chasing him.

Moments later, a man rounded the corner wearing only underwear. He stood a short distance away, trying to wave the boy over as Curths and his sister-in-law prepared to drive the boy to relatives.

"He was staring at us," said Heather Rodriguez, 28, Curths' sister-in-law, who was also outside. "Then he stood there with his hands on his hips like, 'You're really not going to give him to me?'"

Rodriguez and Curths, 35, told the man they were calling the police. Only then, they said, did the man jog away.

The man who chased after the boy that night, Woodburn police say, was the Rev. Angel Armando Perez, the parish priest at St. Luke Catholic Church in Woodburn. Early Monday, the boy gave police a detailed account of the alleged sex abuse he said occurred at Perez's home, leading to Perez's arrest later Monday.

Oh goodness that poor boy. Can you imagine running down the street being chased by a demon in the cloth? That reminds me of the Terminator scene that we all know so well, except this time it's reality. Lord, protect our little ones, and let them grow into decent, God-fearing Christians.

A Romanist priest blames the victims.

Father Benedict Groeschel, American Friar, Claims Teens Seduce Priests In Some Sex Abuse Cases

In a recent interview with the National Catholic Register, Father Benedict Groeschel, of the conservative Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, said that teens act as seducers in some sexual abuse cases involving priests.

The following paragraph of the article is presented without comment:

Pressed for clarification, the New York State-based religious leader explained that kids looking for father figures might be drawn to priests to fill a hole.

[Pastor Isaac Peters]

Re: Roman Catholic sex scandal of the day

Today we have a twofer, courtesy of the lamestream MSM in the JYC suburbs. First, the Roman institution blames senility and a car accident for Groeschel's candor:

A New York priest says he "deeply regrets" if he hurt anyone by his comments that priests accused of child sex abuse are often seduced by their accusers and that a first-time offender should not go to jail.

The Rev. Benedict Groeschel of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal apologized Thursday for the comments he made in an interview with the National Catholic Register published this week. The website for the conservative independent Register then removed the story and posted an apology for publishing the comments. Groeschel and the friars did as well.

"I did not intend to blame the victim. A priest (or anyone else) who abuses a minor is always wrong and is always responsible," Groeschel said in his post on the website. "My mind and my way of expressing myself are not as clear as they used to be. I have spent my life trying to help others the best that I could. I deeply regret any harm I have caused to anyone."

The friars expressed regret for the remarks and highlighted Groeschel's medical history. They said he had been in a car accident several years ago, and that "in recent months his health, memory and cognitive ability have been failing." They described the comments as "out of character."

Second, a former grand poobah of a Romanist religious order, who apparently had quite a history, was arrested in the JYC suburbs for raping a boy at a camp run by that order in Messyjewsex:

A former high-ranking member of a Roman Catholic religious order accused of molesting a boy at a Massachusetts camp decades ago has been released on $1,000 bail after pleading not guilty.

The Rev. Richard McCormick, who was arrested in New Rochelle on Thursday, was arraigned Friday in Salem Superior Court on five counts of child rape. Prosecutors asked for $75,000 bail.

* * *

The district attorney did not release additional details, but Mitchell Garabedian, who is the civil representative for the man who made the criminal complaint, said the alleged abuse took place at a camp run by the Salesian Brothers of Don Bosco whose eastern headquarters are in New Rochelle.

McCormick once led the order in the East, Garabedian said.

Garabedian has settled nine civil cases with the Salesians involving McCormick, he said, although there is no lawsuit pending with the complaint in the current criminal case. That person's name was not disclosed.

THIS is revolting, but par for the course from papist Poland.

Probe launched into Polish priest who gets young children to lick whipped cream off his knee in creepy school initiation

A police investigation has been launched after a series of disturbing photos emerged showing schoolchildren licking whipped cream from the knee of a Polish priest.

The images - which are apparently part of an 'initiation ceremony' at Salesians High School in Lubin, southern Poland - show both male and female 13-year old pupils taking part in the bizarre practice.

Father Marcin Kozyra, who is also the school's principal, has defended his actions by saying such ceremonies for first year pupils have been an annual event for many years.

In the photos the Catholic priest is shown sitting on a battered armchair, wearing shorts and with some form of stick across his knees.

The pupils are shown kneeling around Father Kozyra as they watch each other lick cream from his bare knee.

Other photos show the students crawling up the stairs in a single file on their hands and knees.

'This is very disturbing,' said Marek Michalak, the Polish government's spokesman on child affairs, reported The Telegraph.

'Surely the boundaries of decency and acceptable forms of bodily contact have been exceeded. I've ordered an enquiry and demanded an explanation from all relevant authorities.'

While some people have expressed shock over the pictures, which were posted on the school’s website, the parents of some pupils have come out in support of the priest.

In a letter of defence they claimed that the whipped cream was actually shaving foam and nobody was forced to eat it.

Monika Sajkowska, from the Nobody's Child Foundation charity deemed the behaviour as 'inappropriate,' reported Thenewspl.

'The children were manipulated into this. Limits were exceeded. But not, it appears, with any other intention other than having fun,' she said, adding that 'parents should talk to the children' about the photos.

The images have now been removed from the school's website.

Local prosecutors launched an investigation after the photos were picked up by the national media.

They have said they will not press charges against Father Kozyra, but condemned his behaviour as 'tasteless'.

Yes, there are photographs.
