I have just read the most ridiculous statement on one of my e mails - it reads "The vatican leads the way on the fight against child abuse"
WTF!!!!
The vatican IS certainly in that fight, but is on the OTHER side! They are being fought AGAINST!
This ludicrous statement all hinges on the fact that they have LOUDLY announced the defrocking of the former papal nuncio Archbishop Josef Wesolowski , former Vatican ambassador to the Dominican Republic , by a church inquisition board and who was stripped of his credentials as a priest. He has two months to appeal his conviction.
Aren't they bloody clever? Aren't they bloody honourable? Aren't they showing how they feel about pedophiles?
Well NO THEY ARE NOT!!
They are simply behaving in their time honoured way of trying to take credit for something they have been FORCED to do!
This man and his flight to the vatican after last years revelations in the Dominican Republic were specific subjects of BOTH of the UN committees that we were involved in.
On both occasions the representatives there waffled, evaded, LIED and refused to give up this criminal. They were pressed and pressed further and ultimately when cornered, Sicaluni said "WHat do you expect us to do- we haven't got any prisons" Ha ha ha......
So what HAVE they done? ---- defrocked him! WTF ! WTF ! WTF!!!
And then, they have the sheer bloody gall to say they are "leading the fight against child abuse"
This is INSULTING ,OFFENSIVE ,and downright UNTRUE!
So as we gird ourselves for the next PR stunt when "victims" will be used and abused again in the vatican's pantomime in Rome, I would ask all thinking people on the planet to stop falling for their LIES!!!!
None of us who have been fighting this cause for decades have any desire to thwart any real progress towards justice, none of us have any vested interest in stopping abuse victims being properly valued in fact that is what we have been fighting for!
But until you hear that good news from one of us, I don't mean the handful of abuse victims who will naively be paraded in Rome, and are still catholic , and are being expoloited in the worst possible way, but one of the hundreds of thousands of survivors who would never consider being part of their game playing....
Then I can promise you what you hear is absolute BULLSHIT!
EVEN MORE BULLSHIT
