Pope Benedict Participated In The Sex Abuse Cover-Up While An Archbishop

The unpleasant skeleton in the closet here is that Pope Benedict, back when he was Archbishop Ratzinger, apparently was involved in the long ugly process of reassigning priests guilty of child abuse to other duties that still involved children. Ratzinger apparently signed off on at least one instance of reassigning a priest rather than defrocking him, or even assigning him to non-children duties. The result of this instance of failure to address the problem appears to have been more sex abuse activity involving the same priest.

Pope Under Fire for Transfer, Letter on Sex Abuse Cover-Up

Germany's sex abuse scandal has now reached Pope Benedict XVI: His former archdiocese disclosed that while he was archbishop a suspected pedophile priest was transferred to a job where he later abused children. The pontiff is also under increasing fire for a 2001 Vatican document he later penned instructing bishops to keep such cases secret. The revelations have put the spotlight on Benedict's handling of abuse claims both when he was archbishop of Munich from 1977-1982 and then the prefect of the Vatican office that deals with such crimes — a position he held until his 2005 election as pope. And they may lead to further questions about what the pontiff knew about the scope of abuse in his native Germany, when he knew it and what he did about it during his tenure in Munich and quarter-century term at the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

Benedict XVI As Archbishop In Germany Was Personally Involved In The Cover-Up Of A Pedophile Priest

It maybe easier for Benedict XVI to deny his involvement as the 5-star General of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army when he was the Head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in the Vatican during the 26 years papacy of John Paul II because all the documents are in Latin, Crimen Sollicitationis, De delictis gravioribus, Sacramentorum Sanctitatis Tutela see Benedict XVI then Cardinal Ratzinger in 2001 wrote "De delictis gravioribus" ("on more serious crimes") to all Bishops to cover-up pedophile priests.

Pope Will Struggle To Survive Abuse Cover-Up Scandal

A depressing week for Pope Benedict dramatically escalated last night into an unprecedented papal crisis when he was directly implicated in a cover-up of a German paedophile priest when he was Cardinal Archbishop of Munich 30 years ago. The latest revelations are so potentially damaging to the reputation of then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger that speculation was mounting last night that they could severely, perhaps even irreparably, damage his moral authority as Pope Benedict XVI. It was being speculated that the German Pope could conceivably have to recognise that his position as supreme pontiff could become untenable -- and do what was until now considered impossible, resign from the Petrine throne.

The Current Vatican's Death Throes I

What is happening in Germany with respect to the Catholic Church's sex abuse crisis right now is what happened in America after the first revelations came out of Boston. Instead of the Boston Globe, we have the Süddeutsche Zeitung. What's staggering to me is the Vatican response - which is the same as the Boston church's first reponse. Even now, even after all we have learned and seen this past decade, their response is to say it is primarily part of a campaign to vilify the Pope. Yes, despite hundreds of claims of sexual abuse against children, it's the Pope who's the real victim here: In a note read on Vatican Radio on Saturday, the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said it was “evident that in recent days there are those who have tried, with a certain aggressive tenacity, in Regensburg and in Munich, to find elements to involve the Holy Father personally in issues of abuse.” He added, “It is clear that those efforts have failed.”

Irish Cardinal Admits Knowledge of Child Sex Abuse 'Cover-Up'

The head of the Catholic church in Ireland should consider standing down over revelations that he knew about an alleged cover-up involving the country's most notorious paedophile priest, child abuse victims said today. Cardinal Sean Brady said today he had been present at a closed canonical tribunal into the activities of the late Father Brendan Smyth. During the meeting, two of Smyth's child victims were made to sign an oath to the Catholic church that they would not talk about their claims with anybody other than a priest. The disclosure that the children gave these written assurances in Brady's presence will again raise fears that the church thought it was above the law. The support group Irish Survivors of Child Abuse said it confirmed that a cover-up of clerical abuse of children "went to the very top".

Swiss Catholic Church Investigates 60 Claims of Sex Abuse

The Catholic Church in Switzerland is investigating sixty claims of sexual abuse by priests, the Swiss news agency SDA reported. Abbot Martin Werlen of the Benedictine Abbey of Einsiedeln told the newspaper Mittelland-Zeitung that the church is looking into the claims. The church itself will not press charges, Werlen emphasized, and intends to advise victims to do so themselves. "We find it important that the victim himself determines what steps to take," the cleric told the Mittelland-Zeitung, cited by the Swiss news agency. The abbot of Einsiedeln, who is part of a Bishops' Conference investigating the charges, confirmed that confessions by offending priests would be kept in confidence.

England: Evangelicals Outraged By Bishop Jones Homosex Comments

Disappointed Evangelicals have turned on the Bishop of Liverpool, the Rt Rev James Jones, after he called for a new policy on homosexuality in his Presidential address to his Diocesan Synod on Saturday. Bishop Jones called for the Church to tolerate a range of attitudes to homosexuality, as it does to pacifism. He said: "Just as the church over the last 2000 years has come to allow a variety of ethical conviction about the taking of life and the application of the sixth Commandment so I believe that in this period it is also moving towards allowing a variety of ethical conviction about people of the same gender loving each other fully.

Sex Offender Laws Called Into Question

While many believe that the laws against sex offenders need to be stricter, others claim the opposite. The state of Georgia has acquired the reputation of having the strictest sex offender laws. Surprisingly, however, on March 6, 2010, the Georgians for Reform held a 12-hour conference in the Georgia State Capitol pushing for more leniency with the sex-offender registry, claiming it is a failing system and an extension of criminal punishment, a violation of due process that deprives the offenders of human dignity. While the idea that sex offenders deserve to be treated with dignity is laughable, the Georgians for Reform make one good point: The sex offender registries have done little to prevent incidents of sexual offense, as exemplified by Phillip Garrido and Anthony Sowell, registered sexual offenders who committed further abuses.

Pope Linked to Another Child Abuse Cover-Up

Pope Benedict was personally drawn into the sex abuse scandals last night after revelations of a cover-up in the Archdiocese of Munich in Germany the 1980s, when he was in charge there. His former archdiocese acknowledged it transferred a suspected paedophile priest while Pope Benedict was in charge -- as criticism mounted over a 2001 Vatican directive he penned instructing bishops to keep abuse cases secret. The Pope agreed to send a priest for therapy in 1980 for allegedly forcing an 11-year-old boy to engage in oral sex. The priest was secretly shifted from Essen to Munich, which was Cardinal Ratzinger's See.

Reprobate Attorney General: Maryland AG Approves of Homosex

(Isa.5:20; Rom.1:28-32)
ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- State agencies in Maryland should recognize homosex marriages performed in other states until the legislature or courts decide otherwise, Maryland's attorney general said in a long-awaited legal opinion. The opinion by Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler concluded that the state’s highest court was likely to rule that legal same-sex marriages in other states are valid in Maryland. But, he said, the matter “is not free from all doubt.” Maryland law defines marriage as being between a man and woman, and the state is one of six that do not specifically address the validity of homosex marriages from other states.

Some conservative lawmakers and other opponents of the change are vowing to challenge it, saying Gansler overstepped his authority because he supports legalizing same-sex unions.

Orthodox Rabbi Convicted of Molesting 16-Year-Old Boy

BOROUGH PARK, N.Y. -- An orthodox rabbi was convicted by a Brooklyn jury Monday for abusing on several occasions a 16-year-old Yeshiva student. Baruch Lebovits, 59, has been found guilty of eight counts of sexual abuse. The jury -- made up of 10 women and two men -- deliberated less than half a day before making their decision. Lebovits was acquitted of two counts against him. The teenager alleges Lebovits lured him into his car by offering to let him drive, then proceeded to unzip his fly and perform oral sex on him. The incident occurred on eight separate occasions in 2004 and 2005, according to Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes. The Yeshiva student said he knew Lebovits as a rabbi and prominent business man in the Borough Park community, where they both lived.

Child Molester Will Be Rearrested Upon Release

SANTA ANA -- A former Costa Mesa resident who was convicted of child molestation but was due to be released from prison Friday will be immediately arrested on a federal warrant out of Palm Beach, Fla., according to the Orange County District Attorney. Details of the arrest warrant for George Joseph England were sketchy, but Tony Rackauckas said the case may involve child pornography. Rackaukas made the announcement during a news conference at which had been expected to warn the public of England's pending release. England, who was convicted in 1977 of sexually assaulting three girls but then went on the lam for 29 years, was due to be released from prison Friday after serving just more than three years for his crimes, according to prosecutors. . . . England, meanwhile, continued to sexually assault the Vietnamese girl in a variety of ways and even forced her to have sex with animals, Schroeder said. The girl became pregnant six to eight times, and England made her get abortions until she became pregnant at age 13 and the pregnancy was discovered too late for an abortion, Schroeder said.

Priest Accused of Homosex Molestation Wants to Leave State for 'Treatment'

ST. CHARLES -- A priest accused of molesting a St. Charles boy wants to be let out of jail to go to a treatment center in Maryland as he awaits trial. Alejandro Flores, 37, is charged with multiple counts of predatory criminal sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual abuse and criminal sexual assault. Prosecutors say he molested a St. Charles boy that he knew, who is now 13, on numerous occasions during a five year period – from the time the boy was 8-years-old. Flores, who was most recently a priest at Holy Family Parish in Shorewood, has been in jail on $1 million bail since his Jan. 20 arrest. Allegations of abuse surfaced about two weeks before Flores’ arrest, prompting him to attempt suicide, according to Joliet Diocese officials.

Admitted Homosex Child Molester Given Reduced Sentence By Indiana Court Of Appeals

The Indiana Court of Appeals has reduced the sentence of a Lafayette man who admitted having sexual contact on several occasions with a young boy in his care. Last June, Nathan D. Hawkins, 30, was ordered to serve 15 years in prison and one year on probation following his guilty pleas to two counts of child molesting, a Class C felony. In a unanimous ruling issued Thursday, Indiana’s higher court found that the sentence was too harsh given Hawkins’ character — more specifically, that Hawkins had no prior criminal convictions; has a high school diploma; and had consistent work history.

Incest: 'British Fritzl' Made His Girls Pregnant 18 Times

Two sisters who were raped more than 1,000 times by their father received an “unreserved apology” yesterday from social workers who failed to prevent the daily abuse. The self-employed monster made his daughters pregnant 18 times and nine children were born. Seven of the children are still alive, two of whom have serious health problems. A damning serious case review published yesterday exposed a catalogue of missed chances by police, social workers and health workers to save the sisters from their hell. It admitted professionals were intimidated by the violent father, and while many had strong suspicions of incest they failed to act. They relied on “having a quiet word” in the hope the girls would disclose what had gone on. But any hint of suspicion provoked the father to move his family to another part of the country to evade detection.

Like previous prayer calls, this one was more personal than political.

For 10 minutes, the president and the pastors prayed for peace, an economic recovery, protection for U.S. soldiers, and for Obama to be guided by a wisdom and power beyond himself.

Warning: Ancient Sex and Human Sacrifice On Show In Paris Parallels With Modern Life

The latest show at Paris' Quai Branly museum comes with a warning for visitors: "This exhibition of Moche ceramics shows sexual acts of an explicit nature." But the extraordinary and graphic testimonial of the ancient Moche civilization of Peru isn't about physical pleasure or procreation, according to the curator. He says the sexual acts evoke the rituals that accompanied the death of dignitaries, and the human sacrifices that went with them. They tell a story about the power of the elite that he says has parallels with modern life. "Sex, death and sacrifice in the Moche religion," which opened this week and runs until May 23, brings to Europe for the first time 134 erotic Moche ceramics on loan from the Larco Museum in Lima, Peru.

The young man testified that Lebovits would have him pull over and then perform a sex act on him. There was no physical evidence, and the accuser was a recovering drug addict and a thief - points defense lawyer Arthur Aidala hammered home.

The lawsuit filed last fall by David Gaffaney accuses Brother Raimond Rose, a member of a Chicago order called Christian Brothers of the Midwest, of abusing him while he was sleeping on a school-sponsored trip to Orlando, Fla., in 1977. Gaffaney claims that the Christian Brothers knew of complaints about Rose for years before he taught at Shanley during the 1970s.

The new claims of alleged groping contradict statements by Massa, who resigned his office after it became public that he was the subject of a House ethics committee investigation for possible harassment.

Rabbi Found Guilty of Sexually Abusing Male Student

The Borough Park rabbi/travel agent accused in hundreds of incidents of sexual abuse was convicted yesterday of molesting a 16-year-old student. Baruch Lebovits could be sentenced to 32 years in jail, after being found guilty on eight counts. "I understand that there are a significant number of Jewish holidays coming up,” said the judge. “And I am sorry." The young victim testified that in 2004 Lebovits offered to let him drive his car, then unzipped his fly and performed oral sex on him. Among the rabbi’s other alleged victims is a young Hasidic man who committed suicide on his honeymoon, by jumping from the seventh story of a hotel.

Rabbinic Leaders Silent On Child Sexual Abuse

Last week The Jewish Week reported that Gov. Paterson had allocated $500,000 to be channeled to an as-yet-unnamed organization in the Brooklyn Orthodox community. The money is to be used to help address what many now believe is an epidemic of childhood sexual abuse in the ultra-Orthodox world. While in theory we as a community should welcome governmental support to help us solve our social problems, how does one explain the apparent absence of rabbinic and lay leadership on this issue? When did protecting our children become the job of the governor and a local assemblyman? Where are the voices of our rabbinic and lay leaders?

Vatican Faces Widening Sex Abuse Scandals

Sexual abuse scandals mired the Catholic Church on Tuesday as inquiries in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands intensified and the Vatican digested allegations that the Mexican founder of one of the church's most favored sects sexually molested his illegitimate sons. The new revelations come less than a month after Irish bishops were summoned to the Vatican to discuss decades of clerical sexual abuse in Ireland. A delegation of German bishops is scheduled to meet with Pope Benedict XVI on Friday about the growing crisis in Germany, where more than 170 students have claimed they were sexually abused at several Catholic high schools.

Episcopal Priest Ordered to Trial for Homosex Crimes

MOOSIC, PA -- A former Episcopal priest is now heading to trial on charges that he molested two boys. Ralph Johnson, 82, went before a district justice Tuesday afternoon in Susquehanna County and through court papers new information has been learned about the prosecution's case against him. The former Episcopal priest was first charged a month ago after a man came forward and said he was abused as a boy, then another alleged victim came forward. Now, both cases against Ralph Johnson are heading to trial. Court papers state Johnson was pastor of a church in New York state in the early 1990's when he took what he called a "troubled" boy to his home in Susquehanna County near Gibson.

LOS ANGELES -- A decade-old probation report on a sex offender accused of murdering California teenager Chelsea King contained a psychiatrist's conclusion that the defendant had "significant predatory traits" toward underage girls and should be kept in prison for as long as possible. "Thedefendant does not suffer from a psychotic disorder," a probation officer quoted Dr. Matthew F. Carroll as saying for the report. "He is simply a bad guy who is inordinately interested in young girls." Carroll further said John Albert Gardner III's "predilection toward younger girls is a problem.

Ghinedu Ehiem, a Nigerian, was dismissed by the Vatican on Wednesday from the Giulia Choir after his name appeared in transcripts of police wiretaps, published by an Italian newspaper, in an unrelated Italian investigation. The wiretaps were carried out in connection with a probe into corruption in contracts to build public works, including the planned venue in Sardinia of last year's G8 summit. The summit was eventually moved to the Abruzzo region as part of efforts to help it recover from an earthquake.

Homosexual Prostitution Incident Tied To Vatican

Acme Bail Bonds
In what has to go down as one of the most hypocritical defenses on record an Italian government official accused of financial corruption and who allegedly used a Vatican choir singer to arrange homosexual liaisons for him says leaking the details is "shameful," the official's lawyer told CNN Saturday. Angelo Balducci is appealing a judge's decision to keep him in prison over allegations of financial corruption, said his lawyer, Franco Coppi. Police say they learned of the alleged homosexual liaisons while wiretapping Balducci as part of an investigation into how public-works contracts were awarded. His lawyer says he is innocent of the corruption charges, and declined to comment on the sex scandal. Balducci oversaw the Italian government's awarding of construction contracts, including work on the airport at Perugia. He also served in the unpaid role of papal usher. Italian authorities say they recorded conversations between Balducci and Thomas Chinedu Ehiem, a 39-year-old Nigerian singer. They were recorded between April 14, 2008, and January 20, 2010.

German Justice Minister Hits Out At Vatican Over Abuse

BERLIN -- Germany's justice minister hit out at the Vatican on Monday over a child sex abuse scandal engulfing the country's Roman Catholic Church, including at a choir formerly run by the pope's brother. Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger said that a "wall of silence" was particularly prevalent at Catholic-run schools because of a 2001 Church directive that cases of abuse be "subject to papal confidentiality". This meant that allegations of abuse "were not supposed to go outside the Church but instead were meant to be investigated internally," the minister told Deutschlandfunk radio.

German Justice Minister Critical of Vatican Rule on Child Sex Abuse

BERLIN -- Germany's justice minister said that a Vatican secrecy rule has played a role in a "wall of silence" surrounding sexual abuse of children. The Vatican says it wouldn't comment on the criticism from Germany, the homeland of Pope Benedict XVI. Later Monday, Chancellor Angela Merkel praised the German church's effort to respond to a spate of abuse allegations. Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger cited a 2001 Vatican directive requiring even the most serious abuse cases to be first investigated internally. Scandals over sexual abuse by Catholic clergy of minors and cover-ups by church hierarchy have exploded worldwide in the last two decades, including in recent weeks in Germany and the Netherlands.

Vatican Secrecy 'Let German School Abusers Go Unpunished'

Germany has blamed a "wall of silence" created by the Vatican for hampering investigations into decades of abuse of schoolchildren by Catholic clergy. Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, the Justice Minister, said that Vatican secrecy rules, including a 2001 directive requiring even the most serious cases to be investigated first by Church officials, were complicating efforts to shed light on claims of abuse at some of Germany’s most highly regarded schools. Many of the alleged cases fall outside the 20-year statute of limitations, so abusers are protected from prosecution. Annette Schavan, the Education Minister, said that the limit on sex crimes involving children must be re-examined.

Former Choirboys Talk of 'Naked Beatings'

Former choirboys of the Regensburger Domspatzen have told SPIEGEL about sexual and physical abuse at two boarding schools attached to the famous Catholic choir. One former choirboy says it's "inexplicable" that the Pope's brother Georg Ratzinger, a former head of the choir, didn't know about it. The abuse scandal at the Regensburger Domspatzen choir is bigger than had been thought so far. Therapists in and around Munich treated several former choirboys who were traumatized by sexual and other physical abuse. One man affected told SPIEGEL about cruel rituals in the Etterzhausen boarding school, a preparatory school for younger pupils from which the choir draws its recruits.

A March 3 New York Daily News article said that one of the witnesses in the trial of Rabbi Baruch Lebovits claimed that he had been repeatedly molested by the rabbi in 2004 and 2005, when the witness was in his teens. The man is now in treatment for drug addiction, the article said, a fact that the defense seized upon, calling him a "con man" who was looking for money. Assistant District Attorney Miss Gregory asked the witness, who is now 22, how the alleged episodes of sexual abuse affected him. The witness testified that they left him "Very uncomfortable and confused." The witness is one of three men who say that Lebovits molested them.

The Navy notified Congress on Monday of its intent to drop the ban. The Navy will soon permit female sailorettes to serve aboard submarines, removing one of the last barriers to women in the military serving equally alongside men. The Pentagon Monday notified Congress of its intent to make the change, which would allow select sailors of the Navy’s nearly 50,000 women to enter the shadowy and tradition-bound submariner culture. After the 30-day notification period required by law, the Navy can start integrating crews for the service’s 70-odd submarines.

The woman, now 22, testified in a June hearing that she was taking a spring-semester statistics course from professor Joshua Young Moon. The woman said she suffered chronic pain from a car crash and that Moon had sometimes given her pressure-point massages to relieve her pain. But during an April 21 meeting in Moon’s office, she testified earlier, she fell asleep during one of the massages and awoke to find him touching her inappropriately. The woman, who lives in Pennsylvania, testified Friday that she is fearful of being alone with men, even a doctor, or on the job as a lifeguard.

Defectors Say Church of Scientology Hides Abuse

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Raised as Scientologists, Christie King Collbran and her husband, Chris, were recruited as teenagers to work for the elite corps of staff members who keep the Church of Scientology running, known as the Sea Organization, or Sea Org. They signed a contract for a billion years -- in keeping with the church's belief that Scientologists are immortal. They worked seven days a week, often on little sleep, for sporadic paychecks of $50 a week, at most. . . . Fifty-six years after its founding by the science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, who died in 1986, the church is fighting off calls by former members for a Reformation. The defectors say Sea Org members were repeatedly beaten by the church’s chairman, David Miscavige, often during planning meetings; pressured to have abortions; forced to work without sleep on little pay; and held incommunicado if they wanted to leave. The church says the defectors are lying.

But social engineers may make this passé with a proposal to allow boys to use girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms. No, this isn’t the plot of a decadent B movie. The story comes out of Maine, with a state proposal that would grant boys claiming to be female the right to use the aforementioned girls’ facilities. It may even give such boys the right to compete on girls’ sports teams.

The school was headed by the pope’s brother Georg Ratzinger from 1964 to 1994. The diocese in charge of the Roman Catholic Regensburger Domspatzen School told reporters on Friday their research showed that two chaplains were convicted for sexual abuse committed between the late 1950s and the late 1960s, but that there were no new cases. But Ratzinger, a Roman Catholic priest and church musician, told German public radio station Bayerischer Rundfunk that he had no knowledge of any cases of abuse at the school.

Maciel (1920-2008) led a double life, maintaining relationships with at least two women and fathering up to six children. And according to new allegations, he sexually abused one of his biological sons and an adopted son. But despite allegations that he abused numerous young seminarians in the order's schools in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s and several investigations conducted over the years, he was never held accountable for any case of sex abuse.

New Woe For Vatican As Usher Linked To Homosex Prostitution

VATICAN CITY -- One of Pope Benedict's ceremonial ushers and a member of an elite choir in St Peter's Basilica have been implicated in a gay prostitution ring, in the latest sexual scandal to taint the Vatican. Ghinedu Ehiem, a Nigerian, was dismissed by the Vatican on Wednesday from the Giulia Choir after his name appeared in transcripts of police wiretaps, published by an Italian newspaper, in an unrelated Italian investigation. Excerpts of the wiretaps and police documents published in the Italian newspaper La Repubblica showed that Ehiem, 40, had been in regular contact with Balducci before Balducci's arrest last month and the subject of their conversation was homosex. A police document prepared for magistrates and published in part by La Repubblica said Balducci was in contact with Ehiem and an Italian who were part of what the police called "an organized network ... to abet male prostitution." A Vatican source said Balducci, who is still in jail, has been dismissed from the elite group of ushers and that his name would not appear in the next edition of the Vatican's directory.

If Italian media sources are to be believed, then the compromising shadow of a highly active gay prostitution ring currently hangs over both the Holy See and unnamed Rome seminary colleges. The first casualty of this potentially explosive scandal was Thiomas Ehiem, who yesterday was dismissed from the choir of the Cappella Giulia, the choir used in St Peter’s for ceremonies which do not involve the pope.

The demonstrations began last month after a homosex offender in a nearby village was chosen for a prominent role during Dutch carnival celebrations but was refused communion by his local priest — offending many in the village.

Tea Party Leader Paid By GOP-Run Campaign To Promote Party Goals

One of the Tea Party's top leaders was recently paid $7,500 by a campaign run by a California Republican group to promote one of their ballot initiatives. Mark Meckler is a spokesman for the Tea Party Patriots and had publicly distanced himself from the Republican Party.
