Same Shit Different day!

I never know wether to laugh or cry when I hear yet another ridiculous outpouring of utter crap from the catholic church.

I am sickened yet again by their  arrogance and inability to comprehend the damage that they have  actually caused to survivors of clergy abuse.

The Scottish church, and the McLellan enquiry once again, sidelining the issues and desperately trying to come out of the shit smelling of violets.

Here are their  “ recommendations”

2. The Scottish church had to make support for victims of abuse “an absolute priority”, including a full public apology. (WTF! WHY OH WHY DO THEY STILL THINK THAT THESE MEANINGLESS AND POINTLESS “APOLOGIES” ARE ANYTHING OTHER THAN OFFENSIVE????  WHY, OH WHY, DO SOME “VICTIMS”  EVEN STILL SETTLE FOR THIS PATRONISING DISMISSAL ? 
3. The church should set up a fund to pay for counselling for abuse victims. (WTFFFFFF!!!!! THE IDEA OF “COUNSELLING” BEING THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING  HAS REALLY GOT TO BE CHALLENGED! SURVIVORS OF ABUSE HAVE SUFFERED GRAVE AND PERMANENT DAMAGE, IN OUR BRAINS, IMMUNE SYSTEMS AND EVEN METABOLIC SYSTEMS.THAT DAMAGE CAN EVEN BE PASSED ON TIO THE NEXT GENERATION AND THE NEXT..... RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT WE HAVE A SHORTENED LIFE SPAN, AND ARE LIABLE TO COMMIT SUICIDE, WE HAVE MANY PHYSICAL PROBLEMS AS WELL AS THE UNDERSTATED MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL DIFFICULTIES, WE OFTEN HAVE DAMAGED RELATIONSHIPS, INABILITY TO DEAL WITH AUTHORITY, MISTRUST, PARANOIA FEAR , SHAME AND INAPPROPRIATE GUILT.WE HAVE OFTEN HAD OUR EDUCATION INTERRUPTED OR ABANDONED, WE MAY HAVE SKETCHY WORK HISTORIES, RARELY HAVE PENSIONS OR SAVINGS, AND STILL WE HAVE SURVIVED!!!!WE HAVE STRENGTH, YES WE HAVE “ HYPER-VIGILANCE”  BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD GOOD REASON , BUT WE ARE SURVIVORS! AND WE HAVE SKILLS THAT OTHERS CANNOT BEGIN TO IMAGINE! SO SET UP YOUR “FUND” BY ALL MEANS, BUT MAKE IT FOR THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF POUNDS THAT YOU OWE TO EACH SURVIVOR TO MAKE AMENDS , NOT FOR A FEW QUID TO SALVE YOUR CONSCIENCE AND TO APPEAR COMPASSIONATE OR  FOR SOME CONDESCENDING DO GOODER TO BECOME A “LISTENING BUDDY” NOR FOR YET ANOTHER OF THESE WRETCHED  CHARITIES TO SKIM OFF SOME INCOME FOR THEMSELVES, BUT TO MAKE AMENDS FOR LIVES DESTROYED!!!!!  IT MAY WELL BE THAT SOME PEOPLE WANT, AND PERHAPS NEED THERAPY, BUT THAT SHOULD BE THEIR CHOICE! PERHAPS THEY WOULD PREFER TO SPEND THEIR TIME AND THE MONEY LYING ON A BEACH OR DRIVING A PORSCHE! IF I HAD BEEN GIVEN WHAT WAS REALLY DUE TO ME MANY YEARS AGO I WOULD HAVE DRUNK MYSELF TO DEATH BY NOW.BUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN  MY CHOICE, MY RIGHT TO GET IT WRONG AND MY RIGHT TO TELL THESE DUPLICITOUS NARCISSISTS TO SHUT THE F... UP!

2. The church had to stop pretending that different dioceses and religious orders were autonomous when it came to upholding its rules on abuse. (NO SHIT SHERLOCK! )
3. The duty of bishops in protecting and helping victims needed to be explicitly set out in the church’s guidelines on “awareness and safety”.(OH PLEASE! )
4. The church needed independent, external scrutiny of its safeguarding policies and their effectiveness to end the practice of the church policing itself. (AND THAT MUST BE SECULAR!)
5. The church had to be far more rigorous in making sure all its priests and staff had the correct training in preventing abuse and safeguarding.(BY WHOM? THEMSELVES? OR SOME TAME -IN THE PAY OF THE POPE -"VICTIM" GROUP?)
6. Bishops and priests had to stop appearing to blame victims for their abuse.(APPEARING? APPEARING? WTF ! THAT HAS BEEN THEIR FIRST AND CONSISTANT RESPONSE TO MOST SURVIVORS!---ALL OVER THE WORLD!)

The report stated: “Justice must be done, and justice must be seen to be done, for those who have been abused and for those against whom allegations of abuse are made.” (JUSTICE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THEM? WTF!! THIS IS NOT A COLLABORATION!!! JUSTICE NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THE VICTIMS OF THESE CRIMINALS! END OF!)

It added: “There are clearly parishes in which commitment to safeguarding is still resisted because of complacency and lack of interest.” (AND ARROGANCE AND NARCISSISM)

McLellan said three things had to happen. “First, and most important, a beginning will be made to heal the hurt and address the anger which survivors feel,” he said. (PATRONISING, CONDESCENDING CRAP! THESE CREEPS CANNOT BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THE HURT OR THE ANGER! AND THE CHURCH CAN PLAY NO PART IN HEALING-THEY ARE THE PERPETRATORS!!)

“Second, the Catholic church in Scotland will confront a dark part of its past and find some healing for itself. Third, a significant step will be taken in restoring public credibility for the Catholic church. (THIS IS THE BIT TO LAUGH AT! IT HAS NO CREDIBILITY!! HEAL ISELF???? HEAL ITSELF?? BUT  OF COURSE, THAT IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT! )

I have decided that crying is more appropriate!
