A smoking gun letter reveals Vatican directly ordered pedophiles be protected

[irishspirit]

The latest expose on the Catholic Church in Ireland and the pedophile scandal is truly extraordinary.

A letter from the Vatican demanding that no pedophile cases be turned over to police has been uncovered.

It is the smoking gun that victim’s rights advocates have been proclaiming for some time exists.

The letter is from a senior Vatican official and its contents were first revealed on RTE the national television channel (http://www.rte.ie/tv/wouldyoubelieve).

The letter dating from 1997 demolishes Vatican claims that they never instructed local bishops to withhold evidence form police about pedophiles.

It was signed by the late Archbishop Luciano Storero, Pope John Paul II's Apostolic Nuncio to Ireland.

These people really are sick and twisted. As an Irishman, brought up Catholic, I always knew that there was a reason for my wanting away from them Urgently.

Now they have had this meeting with the Victims to "clear the air", yeah we are sorry about that guy's, but hmm, we didn't know that it was going on.

Vile, putrid examples of human beings. Torture is too good for these dark creatures.

conk, these sick people would enjoy the torture 25 years ago, in my bad guy incarnation, I could have found their threshold - (insert maniacal laughter).

For any reasonably studied man or woman to continue support of organized religion is beyond understanding. There seems to be a contingent among us who desire the control and revel in the fear.

Hi conk:

It is useful at times like this, with the valuable help of media sources like RTE, to understand why people do support organizations like the Catholic Church.

Approached with understanding, individuals are the more likely to see how they are duped, instead of a defensive reaction.

"Solomon Asch thought that the majority of people would not conform to something obviously wrong, but the results showed that participants conformed to the majority on 37% of the critical trials."

"However, 25% of the participants did not conform on any trial. 75% conformed at least once, and 5% conformed every time."

I mind prepared with good evidence, is a mind that can first cope with stunning reality, and then deal with it.

Ordinarily a mind that is shocked & stunned, is a mind that reacts with submission and docility, aka mind lock -- study Ivan Pavlov
