Many parents did report the abuse of their children to the police. The police then went to the Church and were told to mind their own business.Not trying for a moment to defend Cardinal Brady or the CC but I cannot understand why the parents of these children in question did not go straight to the gardai in the first instance.. It just baffles me why they left it up to the church to investigate and deal with the complaints. When the CC showed it's response to be wholly inadequate, then why did the parents of the abuse children refer the matter to the civil authorities. I know that my parents certainly would have.
No, there is no way I would go to the police, not with the miniscule punishments handed out by courts in this country who think robbing a post office is a more serious crime than raping a child. The priest involved would be found nailed to the front door of his church (what was left of him).Any parent worth their salt would have.
If someone sexually abused your child, why would you NOT go to the police?
I agree. I have posted here for months that the Vatican state is a hostile power which has sought to undermine our sovereignty by instructing Irish citizens to hold its law as paramount over Irish law and therefore we should break off diplomatic relations, recall our ambassador and expel the Papal Nuncio. We should then seek the extradition of the pope to face criminal charged for attempting to pervert the course of justice.And why is it that when people have a few % taken off their wages they will take to the streets etc, yet evil men rape children and cover it up, yet we let them stay in power and do nothing about it. I think its about time the CC was taken on and shown up for the evil organisation that it is.

Obviously it would not work but it would cause an international furore and bring the actions of this evil state to the fore on the world stage.

+1 and I'd be happy to deal with the consequences.

You mean you would leave your child fatherless at a time of real need, both yours and Purples ideas for justice are emotional understandably, but also selfish.

I’m not suggesting it would be justice; it would be a violent emotional vengeance. I would like to think that I would be able to react in a more reasoned way but experience has thought me otherwise.

I am still shocked and somewhat disgusted at the number of people who go to church every Sunday and stick their hands in their pockets to hand over money (most of my in-laws included). If only one Sunday churches stayed empty, CC / Vatican would have no choice but to change tack.

And one such devotee yesterday who stated the abused have: "had their pound of flesh" and it's time to stop picking on the clergy.
Most catholics that I know only go to church sometimes, want to get nice piccys for their wedding so use a church for it, but attendance is rare other than that, get the kids baptised because the relations expect it, or theyre afraid they wont be able to get the kids into a local school etc...
They dont look at the bigger picture.
