Bill Leckie Bang On The Money

[davy1shoe 63]

Fair play to MarcoVanBeasten he wrrote this.

Most definitely. Any type of cover up - an obstruction of justice - is indeed, just as despicable.

Now this is where it's going to get sticky for you:

Not long after becoming Cardinal, Ratzinger was placed in charge of the so-called "Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith". This, perhaps you're unaware, is the department which dealt with the child sex abuse cases of the Catholic church. In May 2001, Joseph Ratzinger issued a confidential letter to every single Bishop stating clearly that reporting any such accusations of child rape or molestation to the proper authorities could be punishable by excommunication from the Church; which is a very grave threat to such "men of the cloth". This is a direct evasion of proper criminal procedures undertook and directed by the now "Pope Benedict". The cases, he wrote, were to be treated "in the most secretive way", involving precisely zero legal authorities outside of the Church's own jurisdiction.

Secrecy and protection over proper justice was the way of it.

As if this absolute obstruction of justice was not bad enough, Ratzinger also voiced the clear stipulation that no actual investigation of the crime were to take place until the victim had reached 18 years of age, and then must last for at least 10 years. In effect, allowing the accused - many child rapists - to avoid the Church's judgement - never mind *actual* legal judgement - for what could be decades, leaving an astounding 60% of cases never to come to trial, as stated by Monsignor Scicluna, due the eldery age of the accused.

More unforgiveable scandal.

But let us focus the lens a shade more and take the case of "Wilfried F" in 1979: As a young 11 child year child, Wilfried was taken to the mountains in his homeland of Germany by his priest, and was subsequently given alcohol, forced to strip naked, and then suck the penis of his Catholic peer, the Priest.

Refusing to inform the proper authorities, Joseph Ratzinger felt it more appropriate to just have this rapacious sex beast transferred from Essen to Munich for "therapy". Forget justice for the victim, all right. "Therapy" for the assailant was his priority. Subsequently, the offending priest was reinstated to pastoral work, free to continue his rape of children, by Ratzinger's Deputy, Vicar General Gerhard Gruber.

The Church's pathetic defence is their Pope was unaware of the decision to *actually reinstate* the offending cleric, and it's conceivable that he didn't, but they're happy to gloss over the fact that in choosing to keep the scandal hush, in turn evading proper justice and imprisonment for the rapist, Joseph Ratzinger engaged in a grave evasion of justice, cover-up, as well as complete moral negligence in his loathsome preference of acquiescent "therapy" over legality.

Given that the priest then habitually reoffended, horrifically preying on defenceless children, before being *finally* prosecuted, as he should have been initially, Pope Benedict must bear the guilt of every rape that happened subsequent to these despicable choices that, quite literally, enabled this man to continue to destroy the lives of more children.

I want to hear you say you're happy to accept this.

Are you?

Well spoken Mr. Leckie. High time someone had the bollix to tell it like it is and take this hypocrites to task for it.

this is fuckin comedy gold

[SirWalterSmithLegend 206]

Nothing they can do, he's a journo and he can say what he want's, his editor must have known what he was doing by publishing it but it's freedom of the press afterall.

Hope your right.

[Gaffbear 4,106]

Well done Bill....the truth hurts

[dummiesoot 16,121]

Sadly the stuff leckie and van beasten have written is not comedy gold, it is sad state of affairs that we are dictated to by a sect that acts against common decency and the law.

[blueballss 2,975]

Yup...truth hurts!

Ha ha, so he does. They'd just love those two over there.

[J_RFC87 762]

Not a single mention of Celtic in the article.

The tims are raging because even they don't believe their own club's rhetoric that they're a non denominational club. They're that paranoid they think it's a dig at them, as opposed to the catholic church.
