Now that we know an entire country (Ireland) permitted dysfunctional
sex freaks, disguised as Catholic clergy, to torture and molest
innocent children for decades, maybe, it's time to expose the same
heinous crimes in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Former PA State Rep. Lisa Bennington, D-Allegheny County, held a
press conference on May 12, 2008 in Harrisburg, PA to discuss
legislation known as the Child Victim's Act of Pennsylvania, which
addressed statute of limitations and identifying sex abusers.
If the bill had passed, it would have changed the age at which a
civil suit could have been filed from until the accuser is 30 to 50,
bringing the civil statute of limitations in line with the criminal
statute. The bill would also have suspended the civil statute of
limitations for two years in child sex abuse cases in which the
statute had expired so that people over the age limit could file a
suit. And it would have allowed the filing of such actions against
child sex abusers and their enablers in both public and private
institutions.
According to Bennington, it was the private institutions (like in
Ireland) where offenders were allowed to move on and continue with
their lives. "Their victims left behind to pick up the pieces, never
getting their day in court and or a chance to see justice carried
out. They live with this horrific crime for the rest of their lives,"
she pointed out.
A 2005 Philadelphia Grand Jury Report uncovered 63 priests in the
Philadelphia archdiocese who had abused hundreds of children over
several decades. In some cases, archdiocese leaders intentionally
concealed the abuse to protect the church.
And Bennington stressed, her bill did not target the Catholic Church.
Rather, "it pertains to all religious institutions, public schools,
youth groups and any organization where child sex abuse has occurred.
It would have given all Pennsylvania victims their fundamental right
to hold those accountable that afflicted or allowed the abuse to
occur.
Sounds reasonable and seems like a good thing. Similar legislation
has passed in California and Delaware in recent years. In California,
about 1,000 victims came forward and 300 predators were identified.
Yet, there's one PA lawmaker who strongly opposed the legislation and
never even intended to give the bill a hearing.
State Rep. Thomas R. Caltagirone D., (Berks County), the House
Judiciary Committee chairman, said the proposed bill was driven by
victims' desire to win large legal payouts. Caltagirone goes on to
say the bill is all about money, not about justice.
Ironically, Caltagirone was quick to vote with fellow legislators for
a 50 percent increase in their pensions in 2001 and the infamous
middle of the night pay raise in 2005. The state rep along with other
lawmakers chose to take the self-induced pay grab immediately in
unvouchered expenses. Many PA residents felt this made the elected
officials look like money-hungry crooks, as it was eventually
declared unconstitutional.
As expected, the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference deplored the bill.
Choosing to continue to protect perverted priests, rather than seek
justice. Likewise, the Insurance Federation of Pennsylvania was also
against the bill. And, while Caltagirone officially declared the
legislation dead, his puppy-protection HB 39 bill -- which would
forbid dog owners from performing surgery on their pups -- is still
very much alive.
As someone who has been investigating clergy abuse in Pennsylvania
for almost 20 years, this writer can't help but think that something
is amiss in the commonwealth -- just like things were amiss in
Ireland.
On the eastern side of Pennsylvania the Philadelphia District
Attorney's office issued a scathing report on the Archdiocese of
Philadelphia for the high level of sexual abuse among Catholic
priests and the cover ups and the reassigning of credibly accused
Catholic priests by Cardinals Anthony Bevilacqua and John Krol and
their aides. It should be noted that Bevilacqua first served as
Bishop of the Pittsburgh Diocese before his transfer to Philadelphia.
Insiders claim Bevilacqua left his successor, Donald Wuerl, quite a
mess.
For example, while Bevilacqua was still assigned to the Pittsburgh
Diocese he agreed to place Fr. John P. Connor, an admitted child
molester first within the Pittsburgh Diocese and later, after
Bevilacqua took over in Philadelphia Fr. Connor was assigned there.
According to testimony in the Philadelphia Grand Jury the arrangement
was based on a "tradition of bishops helping bishops." Sadly, Fr.
Connor went on to abuse others and Bevilacqua was found to be a liar
according to the grand jury report.
One has to wonder why the Pittsburgh Diocese voluntarily settled with
32 alleged survivors of clergy abuse. $1.25 million for crimes the
Pittsburgh Diocese will never have to admit ever occurred. The
settlement would not tarnish the stellar reputation of Archbishop
Donald Wuerl who never had to pay a dime of diocese money to any
clergy abuse victims during his tenure as bishop in the Pittsburgh
Diocese.
Oddly enough, an underling -- so to speak -- Auxiliary Bishop Bradley
reconciled the situation, only weeks before Bishop David Zubik was to
be installed as the new leader of the diocese. So it seems everything
fell into place.
32 survivors received a few bucks, the diocese is off the hook for
any future civil or maybe even criminal suits based on the
settlement. Wuerl continues to do in Washington D.C. whatever it is
that Archbishops do and Zubik was allowed to get a fresh start in the
Pittsburgh Diocese without the interference of those civil suits that
were resting in limbo for several years.
The settling of the civil suits certainly allowed for an impressive
and dignified installation of Bishop Zubik, no hecklers or
demonstrators from any groups with compassion for children sexually
abused by Catholic priests.
And, although I have no proof, nor anyway to calculate, I would be
willing to bet the farm that more money was spent on Zubik's
festivities than was awarded to 32 survivors of alleged abuse by
Catholic priests from the Pittsburgh Diocese. No big deal, the worst
is over.
Unless of course, somewhere down the road -- maybe a year, a few
months, a couple of weeks, or perhaps in the next few days --
information turns up that the cases of sexual abuse actually occurred
and that cover ups were the norm in the Pittsburgh Diocese just like
cover ups and shifting priests from parish to parish was the norm in
the archdiocese of Philadelphia.
Anyone with a little common sense would be concerned that a man of
the cloth might be tempted to hide crimes of clergy sexual abuse of
young children only on the eastern side of the commonwealth of PA and
not the western side as well.
That's a lot of ifs ands or buts -- only time will tell if
Pennsylvania is indeed a pro-pedophile state. For now, we can only
laud former Rep Bennington for trying to make a difference in the
lives of those sexually, physically and emotionally abused as
children; as for Rep. Caltagirone -- one politician who obviously
cares more about puppies than children -- maybe it's time for the law
maker to rollover and play dead.

What India needs is such a law, to address the hidden problem of sexual
abuse of minors in that country.

Below criminal Biden jutice might take place but victims never even
adequatelly compensated.
Above Biden - he is confident rthat victims are killed. North of
senate when interns usually reside
and or othere Sewnate visitors, there is a stink- smell coming of
ground that i am absolutely confident is oif dead people
taht did not have a other burial, and perhaps oned of the clues why
Biden is so confident in killing the victims..
I reported that last August when i discoovered it - the particle war
in DC has uncovered these catacumbs there
with deade bodies.
What it did nothing to is - that the offenders in the Senate that
holocausted at least several women and...we do
not know what about interns.... get any jiters or let say....r4un
frrom justice. They do not have to. the same offender
that holted teh oprosecution of the offender of my sons has had show
on C-Span that they do so much
for victims, while teh same year my sons completely disseapered
( onbama on mother day made the
laughing session of his spies again me when i asked for at least
satellite contact with my sons
\- suggestive that the sexs ring upstairs is strontg and they biden
has a basees to think what
he thinks, at least today, criminals are confident taht rthey will
keep going killing victims
without a trace, as it is in NASA)
(
and ... my sons who were internes in the Senate too, is what tehy do
with them
( what Reid decided was to claim that the staffer who stole the letter
about me seeking
m,uy sons over a year agoi alredy, will siuuibbject to Proseecution ,
phony i muight imagine
by the JUustice Department atht would mess u7s in , and not resque my
sons from then perverts
I do not know if Reid is pervert but so far his action is a horror. I
made 12 follow up calls and 2 visits,
all radiculerd by him and or staff
REID DID THAT AfFER THE LONG TRAINING HOW TO KILL VICTIMMS AND NEVER
FIND THESE WHO
TRY TO HELP THEM; THAT SAINT ANTI-HOLOCAUST REID IS NOW TAHT
SPECILIZED IN
TRAPPING THE PEOPLE UNDER- TEH SENATE GROUND.
SCIETISTS ARE ALSO TORTURED THERE FOR AT LEAST 60 YERARS AS I CAN
CONNECT THAT.
WHO IS NEXT U`PSTRAIRS THAT CONIDENT? FIRSTLY, SINCE SHE LOST THE
LETTER ,
HOW CAN YOU NOW PROSCUTE AND HARASS THE VICTIMS IF YOU DID NOT KNOW
ABOUT THEM?
HOW IS JD RECEIVING THE RERPORT WHEN 12 CALLS DOES NOT EVEN TOUCH YOU
( EVERY CALL IS TAPED AND REISTR8IBUTED TO DIFFERENTY OFFICESL LIKE
MY
CALLS TO REID WERE GOING TO BNEVADA, AND THE STAFFERS WHO TOOK TYHEM
WENT TO NASA INVOLUNTARILY AND DISSREAPERED THERE; IT HAPPENED TO BE
FRIEND OF MY SON THAT WAS TAKING CALLS AND I AM SURE WHEN SHE
DISEAPERED)
( CRIMINALS HOLT THE LINE - RETURN MY SONS AND FRIEND , NOW,
CRIMINALS - YOU
ARE FOUND OUT; RUN CRIMINALS BUT RETURN THEM FIRST)
- SUSPECION IS THAT THEY USE THE CALLS TO TARGET THE VICTIMS AND THAN
CLAIM
THAT THEY HAVE LONG DISSEAPERED. I WOULD HAVE NEVER WRITTEN TO HIM
IF
I HAD A HINT THAT HE IS THAT INGRANED IN THEN CRIMINAL RING IN THE
SENATE
( OF COURSE - SENATE MINUS HUMAN RIGHTY DISTRIBUTED BY BIDEN IS
ALREADY A LITTLE SAINTER SENATE, BUT WE DO NOT KNOW WHO ELSE RUNJS THE
CRIMINAL RINGS TEHSE; OR DO WE?)
...
WHAT ELSE BESIDES HIGHTB POWER CRIMINNNNNAL RIGNS INFLUENCES WHAT USA
IS UP TO REGARDING VICTIMNS
1. HIDING WAR CRIMINALS AS IF SEX OFFENDERS WHIUKLE HAVUINBG TEH LAW
THAT KENNEDY 9 my family again, the one taht wilkl kill Biden say)
CHARISHED
THAT AS LONG AS WAR CRIMINALS ARE CHARGED WITHN SEX OFFENCES
THAT HAVE TO SERVE BEFORE EXECUTION SO THEY DO OFFENCES AND THE
TOTAL KENNEDY CORRUPTION WITH IT ( I DO NOT KNOW IF KENNEDY JUDGE
IS PERVERT; BUT IS VERY LIKELY AS HE PAID VISIT TO MY HOME AND
OBSERVEVED MNY CHILD AS VERY YOUNG WHEN I WAS UNSUSPECTING)
I KEEP ASKING FOR AMNEZTY FOR THE OLD WARS AND THE Y PREFERE TO
CONSUME YOUNG BOYS, RREGISTER IN FEDERA;L PENITENCIATY, GET RELEASED
AS SENATORS AND PROFESSORS AND KEEP GOING OFFENDING ALL SOCIETY
and culture of course influences it - ours is too represive but the
compulses will rather
keep lying that is not as they mean by that exploatation only ;
in dc tyou do not even find teh book that uplifts the insight how our
society
is as we do not have such - deliberate kliue and loss of cebnter from
the constant lying.
offenders for teh most part are emotionally im a\ture. Impression is
that the big number
of recluse Supremes are somewhat similarly conditioned; tjhey need a
good group therapy
\and they need to close rteh enterprise as it is now hurting America
GET TEH GOOD THERAPISB THERE - YOU ARE EMBARASMENT TO AMERICA
MAKE MORE INFORMED GRPOUP DECISION BUT ONE SEEMS UINEVITABLE
- YOU ARE GOING AND VICTIM ARE COMING BACK, OK?
CRIMINALS, MY SONS TO REPORT HOME TODAY -
YOU HAVE NO WAY TO KEEP GOING THIS WAY
- YOU SO WRONG AND SO DETRIMENTAL TO OUR PUBLIC RELATIONS
YOU BRAINWASHED BY YOUR OWN CRIME.
RELEASE VICTIMM AND HIDE NOW.
IT IS HOW KENENDY WILL DO BETETR RESOLVING ENTIRE ENTERPRISE LIKE THAT
9 INSTED HE SITS ON THE SREET CORNEERS AL DAY LONG IN HOPE THAT
SOMETHING
HAPPENS TO ME - IT HAPPENS TO YOU REGARDLES SHOW BIG YOU ARE ; WIND
THIS DOWN , KENNEDY JUDGE
