The media did not let up for over two years, paralysing government and forcing the President to resign. Yet the 'Watergate Scandal' was a minor incident in comparison with the conduct of priests, nuns and 'Christian Brothers' in Ireland, USA, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Brazil - and who knows where else, who have been assaulting and raping innocent children for decades.
'The Biggest Scandal in the History of the World' is no understatement. Pack rape, pedophelia, violence and abuse of trust on a mega scale is no trivial matter. Thousands of cases are documented and new cases continue to come to light of children that were placed in the Catholic Church's care and then shockingly mistreated. We now know it has been going on for the last sixty years and it has probably been happening for centuries. That these repugnant crimes against minors were carried out by trusted individuals, who preached the virtues of chastity and vowed themselves to lives of celibacy, is astonishing. It is hypocrisy at Ten on the Richter Scale.
'The Second Biggest Scandal in the History of the World' is the corrupt cover-up of these crimes by the lawless clique that have controlled the Vatican for at least the last few decades. The Catholic leader, Mr. Ratzinger, has apparently masterminded the world-wide cover up, whilst the rest of the Catholic hierarchy in the Vatican and countries around the world continue to loyally support him and implement his appalling conspiracy.
'The Third Biggest Scandal in the History of the World' is the failure of politicians, law enforcement agencies, journalists, the general public and the parishioners of the Roman Catholic Church to create an almighty uproar over these immoral events. How can they continue to brush them aside as if they are of little consequence? Why are hideous crimes swept under the carpet and why has there been no ground-swell of revulsion within the Catholic Church itself against the disgusting all-male organisation that controls it? Why are rank and file Catholics not voting with their feet? Why does this Church always get a free ride and why is it seemingly immune from prosecution?
Where are the Bob Woodwards and Carl Bernsteins of this world when they are really needed?
