Time to dissolve the Catholic Church
Many thanks for your post and especially the links included, Mr Dog! It is Court rulings like these that slowly are chipping away at the Catholic Church's defenses; I am very cognizant that the Church is around 2,000 years old, an Independent State in its own right, and a 'tough nut to crack'. However, a Google search will show that cases like the ones you kindly provided are in the Courts in several countries and are winding their way up to Final Appeals. And, I think that is one of the key elements; in order for any country to make progress in compensating the abused children, you have to beat down the Catholic Church's (proverbial and legal) walls to the highest Appeals Court before you can really make progress. There is another issue; while I appreciate Australia's effort to see children be dealt with fairly and honourably, Australia isn't important enough for a global impact and a case or better yet cases have to hit the high courts in the US and the EU Court of Justice. First, humble apologies to all my Aussie friends, but the EU and the US are just much bigger than you and the Catholic Church is a formidable opponent. Were I a betting man and if there were a major legal blow to the Catholic Church over its acceptance and cover-ups of Pedophilia and Child Abuse, I think the US is the best spot for results. They have a virtually unlimited amount of investigative resources, excellent RICO Statutes that they introduced to fight the Mob (essentially, Conspiracy laws) and they have excellent Punitive Damage provisions (remember the US woman who spilled coffee and got 5 million$$$?). A big case win there would, I believe, open some floodgates. I have a theory, and since I am neither a lawyer nor involved in this issue other than sympathy and a mild intellectual curiousity, take it with a large grain of salt. I think, sooner or later, we are going to get a proverbial 'Smoking Gun' out of the Church Archives. No, not the Vatican Archives as everything that I have ever seen says that those will not be opened, ever, but the Diocesan Archives scattered across the US and the globe. If there is correspondence between a Cardinal/Arch-Bishop/Bishop and the Vatican hierarchy, or even among themselves, then that could be evidence for a large, perhaps multinational case of conspiracy to promote/protect Pedophilia and Pedophiles. And, all is really takes is one good person working in the Archives who has a conscience and will speak up. Don't Catholics have to confess their sins in order to be forgiven? Time will tell on this; many have noted that the Catholic Church is an old, powerful, influential City-State with centuries-long experience in defending itself, and I agree 100% with that. On the other hand, I try to learn from history and the lesson of the Great Wall of China is instructive. The people who breeched that wall didn't hurl army after army after army against the Wall, trying to get through. No, instead, they bribed the guards to simply open the gate and got in and through unscathed. Again, one person with a conscience at the Diocesan Archives... -
