It's NOT about what you believe.
It IS about what you do.
It is ALSO about what you won't do.

You Disgust Me
Catholics are a shameless lot. They just close ranks. So Bravo Judy Courtin!!
This courageous lady has been researching paedophelia in the Catholic Church in Victoria. What she has found is not unexpected but is no less disgusting because of it.
"....the faceless men of the church who hide behind legal defences in order to protect the church's assets, and scurry and scuttle to safeguard their sex offenders, in order to protect the brand name. But such cowardly acts by the powerful and wealthy men of the church will soon fail them as the ever-widening cracks in the marble facade slowly reveal the dirty and tarnished interior."
If Catholic paedophelia and cover up is happening in Victoria, what reason is there to believe it does not happen here in NSW and elsewhere in Australia. It's happened in so many other countries.
It is beyond my comprehension how so many decent catholic people can allow the world-wide corruption and paedophilia within the hierarchy of their organisation to continue without speaking out about it, without forcing a revolution from within. Why is there no groundswell of revulsion amongst those sitting in the pews?
Yes, there should be an Australia wide Royal Commission (not just in Victoria) into the vile behaviour of priests, bishops, cardinals within this demonstrably corrupt organisation but it should not be left to people like Judy Courtin. It ought to come from within. It should come from honest Catholics - but it doesn't.
The NSW Government has banned local motor-cycle clubs but what has happened within the Catholic Church is far worse than any bikie gang activity.
S H A M E ON YOU!!
Shame on the priests who force themselves on children and adolescents.
Shame on the parents who gullibly hand their children over to the care of priests who are or could be paedophiles. Parents are ultimately responsible for who minds their children and should trust no-one.
Shame on the middle management of the church for engaging in a cover up.
Shame on the senior church management here and in Rome for covering up the cover up. Indeed for ordering it.
Shame on Governments here and all over the world for failing to act against criminals if they are Catholic priests. For showing favouritism. For turning a blind eye to bad behaviour. For being weak and for not being brave. For not closing down this disgraceful organisation.
Shame on the millions who sit on the pews and do not rise in disgust against the foul deeds their organisation stands for.
Shame on the Catholic CEO, Mr. Ratzinger, who protects the guilty and denies human rights to the victims. He could change everything if he had the desire to be honest and decent. He ordered the cover up, he still denies justice and yet it is he who will stand up in the glittering surrounds of the Vatican every week and preach to the rest of us about humility, about honesty and about morality. This man's hypocrisy disgusts me like no other.
