The International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State

[Snowbird]

I have spent the majority of today becoming educated about a subject so dark and heinous that it is almost difficult to post it.

I ran across this Exopolitics article and have sat and watched these documentaries and also listened to the excellent mp3 interview between Alfred Webre and Kevin Annett. A minimum of 50,000 children disappeared and it is possible that over time, 250,000 disappeared. Some of these were murdered in the presence of other very young children who in some cases, were siblings. The now grown adults who somehow survived this horror tell their stories. One woman in a very short video, explains that she was a direct witness to a baby being thrown into a burning furnace. They are now looking for the graves.



U.K.-based International Tribunal to try Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict), Queen Elizabeth II, U.K., Vatican, Irish, Canadian officials for crimes against humanity, child abuse and trafficking - interview with Rev. Kevin Annett by Alfred Lambremont Webre

The excellent interview. Talk about a whistleblower.

http://exopolitics.blogs.com/files/kevin.annett.tribunal.mp3

Who: Kevin Annett is a community minister, film maker and author who works with The International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State. His new book “Unrepentant: Disrobing the Emperor” can be ordered on Amazon Books. His website is www.hiddenfromhistory.org

What: In this in-depth 60 mins. exclusive BREAKING NEWS interview, Rev. Kevin Annett sets out the prima facie evidence for Joseph Ratzinger's (Pope Benedict XVI) personal involvement in crimes against humanity involving child abuse and trafficking going back to Vatican II (1962), as well as Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip's personal involvement in the disappearance of 10 aboriginal children abducted by them from a residential school in Kamloops, BC in the period Oct. 5 - 13, 1964 and never seen again in their lives. Learn how the U.K. and the Canadian governments and the Roman Catholic Church were directly responsible for the disappearance of 50,000 aboriginal children in Canada due to a land grab. Rev. Annett explains how no legal accountability has ever been had for these crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity, and how the so-called Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Canada is a white-wash.

Kevin Annett explains in this documentary just how he got involved in this issue and the extreme loses in his life that have been forced upon him because of his involvement. This is a man who truly cares about humanity.

Unrepentant: Kevin Annett and Canada's Genocide

"...This documentary reveals Canada's darkest secret - the deliberate extermination of indigenous (Native American) peoples and the theft of their land under the guise of religion. This never before told history as seen through the eyes of this former minister (Kevin Annett) who blew the whistle on his own church, after he learned of thousands of murders in its Indian Residential Schools..."

Another excellent documentary film.

Deliver Us From Evil

Deliver Us from Evil (2006) is a documentary film directed by Amy J. Berg which tells the true story of Catholic priest Oliver O'Grady, who sexually abused potentially hundreds of children between the late 1970s and early 1990s. The film won the Best Documentary Award at the 2006 Los Angeles Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.[1] The title refers to a line in the Lord's Prayer, or the "Our Father."

When I first met Father Tom Doyle, Canon Lawyer & Historian, in this documentary, I thought that he was in support of those in power within the church. Not so. He advocates for the children and the now grown adults who are suffering. He describes the church as:

There are two types of people in the church, the hierarchy, the Sacred Pastures as they call them, who are picked out by God to lead, and the vast throng who are the lay-people and their duty is to be docile obedient followers. It says that.

The system is a Monarchy. All power rests in individuals. And so the system protects those individuals because it believes that is the will of the higher power, the Almighty. That He wants those individuals to be powerful in order to control this portion of reality called earth. And that I think is...it may sound simplistic and like science fiction, but that in fact is what it is.

As horrifically sad as this situation is, it is also fascinating.

This document has become the forbidden fruit of the Catholic Church. I have read several times that the original, in Latin, has been protected from view within the Vatican. Most likely forever.

The video at this first link is well worth the 39 minutes. In the U.S. priests have been identified as sex offenders and they have offended from one coast to the opposite coast.


Crimen Sollicitationis, Sex Crimes And The Vatican BBC Panorama Series

A secret document which sets out a procedure for dealing with child sex abuse scandals within the Catholic Church is examined by Panorama. Crimen Sollicitationis was enforced for 20 years by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger before he became the Pope. It instructs bishops on how to deal with allegations of child abuse against priests and has been seen by few outsiders. Critics say the document has been used to evade prosecution for sex crimes. It instructs them how to deal with priests who solicit sex from the confessional. It also deals with “any obscene external act … with youths of either sex.” 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.

Reporting for Panorama, Colm O’Gorman finds seven priests with child abuse allegations made against them living in and around the Vatican City.

New York Times rips Pope, says he could have stopped abuse scandal in the 1990s

Instead of addressing clerical abuse,
Cardinal Ratzinger was publicly disciplining priests in Brazil and Peru for preaching that the church should work to empower the poor and oppressed, which the cardinal saw as a Marxist-inspired distortion of church doctrine. Later, he also reined in a Dutch theologian who thought lay people should be able to perform priestly functions, and an American who taught that Catholics could dissent from church teachings about abortion, birth control, divorce and homosexuality.

The Times article contains no new evidence that the future Pope Benedict was involved in any effort to stall disciplinary action against abusive priests. In fact the authors report that the Pope was not an active participant in Vatican discussions on the topic in the 1980s. The lengthy article suggests that the Vatican prevented diocesan bishops from taking action against misbehaving priests, although Canon Law at that time gave the bishops full authority to take action on their own.

Unbelievable that this could even happen in the 20th century, it sounds like stories out of the 1800's! Thanks for this post...although it kept me up til 3AM watching the videos. Great find!

A moral panic: In moral panics, as in wars, truth is often the first victim.

This survey site is comprehensive at best. The information appears to be non-biased and well documented. This site contains many very important links to information that will help those who have associations with this issue.

An essay:

Child and youth sexual abuse by clergy
An overview

In 2004-FEB, CNN was able to view a draft copy of a survey prepared by the church. It reveals that 4,450 of the 110,000 Roman Catholic clergy (4%) who served between 1950 and 2002 have been accused of molesting minors. This has resulted in 11,000 individual abuse claims filed against Catholic clergy during that interval.

In 2005-FEB, Dr. Kathleen McChesney of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said that the crisis is not yet over because thousands of victims across the country are still reporting the abuse. She said: "In 2004, at least 1,092 allegations of sexual abuse were made against at least 756 Catholic priests and deacons in the United States. Most of the alleged incidents occurred between 1965 and 1974. What is over is the denial that this problem exists, and what is over is the reluctance of the church to deal openly with the public about the nature and extent of the problem."

Roman Catholic priests abuse children and youths. This compares with other common estimates: that perhaps 1% of all adults and 2% of all adult males are abusive pedophiles. However, priests have freer access to many children than does the average male. His position of authority and trust can facilitate abuse. Thus the number of abused young people per abusive priest may well be larger than for the average molester. William Reid has written that "careful studies have indicated...that child molesters commit an average of sixty offenses for every incident that comes to public attention." 7 But Thomas Fox estimates that the "average pedophile priest abuses 285 victims."

"Crimen Sollicitationis", A secret Vatican document of 1962

According to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) the Vatican issued a secret document, "Crimen Sollicitatiois" (In English: "The Crime of Solicitation") during 1962. 1

"It instructs them how to deal with priests who solicit sex from the confessional. It also deals with 'any obscene external act ... with youths of either sex'."

"It imposes an oath of secrecy on the child victim, the priest dealing with the allegation, and any witnesses." 2

According to the Evening Standard, a UK newspaper:

"The document recommended that rather than reporting sexual abuse to the relevant legal authorities, bishops should encourage the victim, witnesses and perpetrator not to talk about it. And, to keep victims quiet, it threatened that if they repeat the allegations they would be excommunicated."

This very lengthy .pdf copy of the Vatican's official document reads like a legal document. If you have the time to read through, take note of the following pages/segments:

point 5- 7, (11**) (13**), 21, 35, 42a, 44, 70, 71, the worst crime defined-73, oath taken to observe the fidelity to the secret of the Holy Office-page 17-appendix

And, pay attention to the wording of this document as words such as these are used:

judge, jury, accused, defendent, promoter of justice, Supreme Tribunal of the Holy Office, crime of solicitation, interrogation

The Sister Charlotte Keckler Story

My father Ben C. Reckart knew Sister Charlotte Keckler personally. For several years he passed out tracts that contained bits of her chilling account of Roman Catholic cruelty in the Convents. An investigation of all Convents would not at all be unreasonable or unconstitutional. Human slavery even to a religion is a violation of basic human rights. The following 37 links were transcribed from a public testimony by Sister Charlotte in 1963.

Call me naive. I didn't know.

Child abuse and sexual predators extends into the arena of nuns giving their lives to their God. I knew that the walk on this path was difficult, but had no idea that in some areas, there are groups of nuns who suffer as did Sister Charlotte Keckler. I didn't know that very young girl children are brought into certain novitiate communities to be trained for servicing others against their wills.

Obviously, not every community of Sisters is this dark and horrific. This had to be the horrifying exception to the rule. Dear God, I hope.

Today, I ran across this hour-long audio quite by chance. Sister Charlotte is very obviously a very dear and sweet person who, has been tortured, literally, and threatened and whipped...while serving her God.

The first half of the audio is rather tame. I just have to caution anyone who braves this account, that I believe to be absolutely true. I almost threw up. There is one other section that I have yet to hear. I had to get out and go into the sunshine because there was/is so much satanic darkness being brought forth by this sweet, sweet lady.

I could not read all testimonies. I believe they are true, but the truth is so painful. I am glad, though, that Sister Charlotte was able to expose this terrible truth. I hope somebody will conduct an investigation into all convents to rescue those miserable nuns.

Thank you Snowbird for this information,

It isn't new to me, in fact, it is one of the shadows of my personal life. I am both Mi'kmaq and French. Both my mother and father are from the two peoples. Smallpox has been used against my people by the British military of that time and it is still quite fresh in our memory, even after centuries.

I hope the best for all nations in the future and keep focusing on a new paradigm for Earth, but certainly wish Justice to be done. It makes me even sadder to hear people hate towards the native after all that we endure and still endure today. I can picture very well the actual pope behind the bars. I hope his 'immunity' will not prevail once again. I beleive it will not, the mayans are right, Ethic is actually manifesting greatly.

We often talk about population reduction as something new in the future. Like a threat over our shoulder, while in fact, it has been done over and over by the 'controllers' of our world since centuries. In order to eliminate the threat to their 'kingdom', because yes, the elder tribes and ancient cultures had a knowledge capable of threatening their system, and still has today, we are coming back from the ashes.

Namaste, Steven
