and the Children in Australia who were supposed orphans after world war
2 were sent over to Australia by the RCC and there they were forced to
build church buildings.
And on and on and on.
Brian:
Ever wonder how many male parents teasingly pinched their young
daughters on their newly budding breasts, or female parents "touch"
their young son's genitals in just the wrong way - only now to have to
stand accused of a charge of sexual molestation of children. Child
molestation, as you know, is typically the unwarranted touching of the
genital area, not rape.
Something to think about. Anyway, please note the following:
1. Have you ever seen me deny occurrances that have been proven? No,
you have not.
2. Have you seen me acknowledge that there are priests that have most
certainly molested people/children in the past? Yes, you have.
3. Have you noticed that arcers pronounce guilt, based on accusation
only, before a case has been made. Yes, most assuredly you have.
4. Have you noticed that the Canadian government will be half of the
guilty party if true in the Duplessis case? Not that the Canadian
government and some priests are not guilty as sin.
5. Have you noticed that you listed the same Dallas case 3 times.
6. Have you noticed that the West Texas accusation was not even made
until 4 years after the priest died and well after the events in
question. Gee, I hope he can defend himself.
7. Have you noticed that the 3 daughters (jrnl) were "molested" 40-60
years ago when they were 5-14 years old. Remember, children never lie,
they just don't recognize the truth.
8. Have you noticed that the British government and the PM are half
the guilty party in the Australian case. This one was exposed 6 months
or so ago and died in the news media like a falsehood immediately there
after. Is it true? I don't know - it's another one of those 50-60
year old remembrances. Why don't we wait and see. In this case the
entire world news media may be guilty of a coverup because it sure has
been a quiet subject in the media lately.
And on and on and on - ABBA.

Excuse me, could you please tell when when it's appropriate for a father
to ever pinch his daughter's breasts?
You are such a piece of filth to attempt to lump all accusations of
molestation in with the few false accusations.

But you always find a way to spin the blame to the victim or alleged

No. No one has done this. The only time this has happened has been
when people come to the group and tell their stories. It is assumed and
hoped that the stories are true. As we get to know more about one another
we learn more about what happened and how.

And have you noticed that the Canadian government was condemmed in this
newsgroup as well as the church? No, because all you care about is your
rabid defense of all things RCC to the exclusion of all other information.
Does the crime of the secular government somehow lessen the crime of the
One True Church?

It's not uncommon for victims of molestation, rape and assault to wait
until they feel safe coming out with their stories. The children being
raped can't defend themselves, but we're supposed to cry over a dead priest
who will experience no personal sorrow. And it's not like the man has a
wife and kids to worry about. If he's innocent then I hope that comes
forth. If he's not then I hope there's a special place for people like him
in any afterlife he may find himself in.

So does the length of time between molestation and exposure indicate how
important the trauma was? Do you figure that since they waited so long they
should have just kept their mouths shut? Shall veterans not tell their war
stories if they exceed a certain length of time after the event?
I'm less concerned about the number of years a person kept quiet and
more concerned about whether their story is consistent, can be substantiated
in any way, if they have a history of telling tall tales, can be placed at
the locations they claim during the times they claimed, etc.

And, as I mentioned earlier, had you been paying attention instead of
foaming at the mouth, you'd have seen many posts condemning the government,
as well. However, we don't play the "oh, the RCC can't be held responsible
because they weren't the only ones being bad" philosophy. We let the moral

Victims of abuse say settlement is a `disgrace'
More than 260 men abused as boys by a Catholic teaching order are to receive
damages of A$3.5 million (£1.7 million) in a settlement they condemned as "a
national disgrace".
A spokesman for the victims, Mr John Hennessey, described it as "outrageous"
and "an insult" to the men who had claimed compensation for years of
physical, mental and sexual abuse they suffered at the hands of the
Christian Brothers.
After a three-year action, the 263 ex-students will be paid at least A$2,000
each for abuse dating back to the 1930s, with payments of up to A$25,000 in
severe cases.
They attended schools in Western Australia, but because of the statute of
limitations there, the case was heard in the New South Wales Supreme Court,
Sydney.
The major feature of the out-of-court settlement, announced yesterday, was a
A$3.5 million "reconciliation trust fund" set up to assist the ex-students.
Christian Brothers spokesman, Brother Julian McDonald, said the brothers
were "shocked and disgusted" by the cases of physical and sexual abuse, but
maintained the leaders of the order had not been negligent. The order might
take out a loan to meet the commitment but would not sell properties, he
said.
However, Mr Hennessey said: "We are hurt that the Christian Brothers hid
behind the law so they can pay out the minimum compensation possible.
"They avoided the moral Christian compassion and the hurt we are still going
through today."
He said child sexual and physical abuse had been treated very cheaply,
adding: "What they taught us as little children concerning Christian ethics,
morality and compassion seem today to have gone out the window."
Mr Hennessey said his own pronounced stutter resulted from being flogged by
a "16-stone, sixfoot, wild Irish Christian Brother when I was 12 years old".
The only consolation to come out of the case was that "at least as victims,
we have been vindicated for the claims that we have been making for the past
30 or 40 years", he said. - (AFP)

Gee, DL, my mother never touched my genitals in the "wrong" way and my dad
never pinched my sisters' budding breasts. I wonder if dukey boy grew up in
an abusive household. That might explain his unorthodox positions on sexual
abuse. At any rate, I'm glad we have level headed people here who can see
right through the anomalous rationales behind his apologetics. I feel very
sorry fo dukey. He is sounding very sick. I hope kids around him can be
protected from his less than balanced mental state. Do you think he is
losing it? Maybe he is just running out of things to say so he'll say just
anything. No... I think he's just sick.

He is certainly good at apologetiquing for a most morally bankrupt
institution. He likes to wallow in the same cesspool of filth his most
beloved church has created for itself.

Are you sure? You don't have the foggiest idea what went on with you
as a young child or with your sister(s) when you were young, or to them
when you were not in their presence.
Your own mom and dad may well be child molesters, not necessarily by
intention but guilty of doing the very same thing that an "outsider" is
crucified for. Remember, child molestation is "typically" the touching
of the child's genital areas.

Yeah, right, level-headed people. Pardon my laughing my butt off.

Don't feel sorry for me. You just never realized what may well have
happened in your own family.

Never said it was - only a fool fails to understand that a lot of
fathers teasingly pinch their daughters and mothers teasingly touch
their sons. It's called child molestation outside the family unit.

dl, you have never, ever seen me deny proven guilt. Accusations don't
make people guilty. Except if you're an arcer. Then no further legal
steps need be taken. Tie him to a post and light the fire.

BS. Do I automatically believe 60 year old rememberances, or 4yr?
Absolutely not. But you arcers automatically blame the church with the
slightest accusation if they reject a claim. Certainly the Church can
never prove to be the real truth - oh no, not the RCC.

Sure, let's list the same Dallas thing 3 times. Let's nail the bishop
to the fence because he finds fault with the accusation. No charges
are placed, but crucify the priest anyway. You better look back again.
4. Have you noticed that the Canadian government will be half of the

government and some priests are not guilty as sin.

Did you bother to read my statement #4 above, 2nd sentance? Are the
Canadian Gov and the RCC guilty - only if they acted in an official
capacity following orders to so molest others. If it's just
individuals acting, then I say no to the orginizations being guilty.

Nor can said accused defend himself very well. Amazing how all those

Waiting for him to die is certainly a good way to drill him in the
heart, guilty or not. As 1/2 of the equation, he certainly can't
defend himself.

Or how expanded and distorted the story could become. There is a

either.
Strange how your dl cofessions don't just jump out of the screen -
maybe I'm not anymore observant than you are when we admit that guilt
may very well be there - let's just you and I get past the accusation
stage before we condemm.
Do I believe the RCC promotes sexual molestation of anyone - absolutely
not. Do I believe that there were/are priests guilty of such -
definitely yes. Should they be punished - definitely yes. Do I
believe the RCC is guilty because a priest did it - absolutely not,
unless he did it as a church directive (try and find one like that if
you can). Do I believe the RCC desires/does coverup provable events -
no. Should the RCC unilateraly accept accusations - absolutely not.
Are 4-60yr old remembrances real - some may be, some may not. Do dads
& moms teasingly touch their kids - yes. Is it a crime outside the
family - hell yes, as it should be.
Where do you get this nonsense from?
You seem to have this sick idea that fondling a child is somehow a
normal parental activity. Touching a child's genitals is pretty inevitable
during their earliest years but there's a difference between doing it in a
"wrong" way and doing it in a necessary way. I can't think of any time when
pinching a daughter's breasts is appropriate, however. I think it's sick
that you can.
BTW -- molestation is molestation, regardless of whether it's inside the
family unit or outside of the family unit.
And I still can't believe you're defending child molestors.

But you deny that anyone has "proven guilt." Nothing anyone here has
ever done has passed your muster. I don't think you'd believe anyone unless
the priest in question confessed to you that he'd done something -- and then
you'd probably still find some way to blame the victim.

(sigh)
When the Church goes out of its way to cover up a crime then it should
accept its responsibilty and guilt.
It requires more than that from its members.

"Morals tomorrow, comedy tonight!"
This thread is revealing the real duke. He's got some sick deviant ideas
that underly everything he says. He never had any credibility, but this
time he has put the Nail in his credibility's coffin. I am not surprised,
for there has never been a religious nut I've ever met who didn't wind up
revealing just how sick he/she really was. He has the gall to insinuate
that my own parents "must" have behaved the way he sees as normal parental
behavior when I was too young to be aware of it. And he seems to think that
it would be OK. What a sicko!!! Any parent who behaves that way toward a
child who is too young to be aware of the ramifications of such an act, such
parent is guilty of an even more contemptible act of molestation, for it is
taking advantage of the defenseless. And dukey pukey seems to think it's
all OK as long as it is in the family. He's not only sick. He's evil. I
shudder at the thought that there might be children living in his house.

Did you bother to check the facts, dux?
It is not the Canadian government which is involved in this case.
It is the Quebec government.
Would you have people hurl bricks at Washington because of the shady dealings of
Huey Long?
Maurice Duplessis was Premier of Quebec when this stuff occurred.
He may have been the closest thing to Huey Long Canadian politics ever produced.
The Province of Quebec was priest-ridden in those years. It had Canada's
highest birth rate, highest number of deaths from back-street abortions, highest
per-capita church attendance records, highest per-capita number of alcoholics,
ditto gamblings addicts (Bingo!).
Official, governmental apologies were recently offered to the "Duplessis
orphans."
Those apologies were issued by the current Quebec government, not the Canadian
government.
If the RCC has made similar apologies, I missed them.

If someone remembers an incident of childhood molestation, but years after the
fact -- when the statute of limitations dictates there can be no legal
redress -- then, according to il duce, that is a false memory, a fabrication, a
lie.
If the perpetrator was a clergyman, then it's an assault on Holy Mother Church.
Meanwhile, if someone remembers that there was *no* inappropriate sexual
touching in his family, then *that* is a false memory. A convenient fork.

Normal activity?? No, I said common activity.
And why is it you arcers immediately read "appropriate" into my
comments when I point out something. Because you're trying so hard. I
never said appropriate. I said it happens on a regular basis. And I
said it was a teasing act by a father/mother, not a molesting act. Yet
a family outsider that does the same thing goes to jail.

And I still can't believe you trying to be so big an asshole. You know
good and well I'm not defending child molesters. It's just that many
parents would be rather shocked to find they themselves could be
accused of child molestation for something they have/may have playfully
done with their kids.

Did you see me deny the Duplessis case - no. Did you see me deny the
Dallas case - no. Do I automatically believe 60 years old
rememberances from three girls 5-14 yrs old. Only a stupid person

Haven't I heard something on this ng lately that now it has a runaway

Maybe the actions were official governmental directive but the priests
were acting on their own.
Of course darklady will drill me thru the heart for saying such a
thing, so I must say that personally I think the RCC should stand
behind their priests in their official capacities and offer an apology
also.

You're such a prize, Duke.
You could clarify. You could have even written clearly in the first
place, given what provocative information you were putting forth. But nah.
Again you place the responsibility for your own sloppiness at your
audience's feet. You ARE a good Catholic, aren't you?
But even beyond that, I don't think you're correct.
I don't think that touching sons in the "wrong way" is "common." I also
don't think pinching the nipples of daughters is "common," either. I will
agree that sexual abuse is *more common* that most of us probably realize
and fare more common than it should be. I have no doubt that awkward
sexuality exists in most any house with an adolescent, but that doesn't mean
the behavior you so blythely report is "common."
*****It also doesn't mean that your smoke screen is effective. This is
a newsgroup that discusses abuse performed by the Catholic Church and its

You write from both sides of your mouth, Duke. You claim you're not
defending these actions as "appropriate" and then call them "teasing" which
suggests that you -- at the very least -- don't find them *inappropriate.*
Then you muddy the water further by bringing in this nonsense about how
someone outside of the family will (unfairly, it appears in your view) be
punished for doing the same thing. Do you think outsiders should be able to
touch boys genitals in the "wrong way" and that they should be able to
"teasing(ly)" tweak the nipples of girls?
I'm confused as to what your point really is. If you have one.

Not at all. In this post you keep suggesting that you're not defending
them but then you turn right around and defend their actions. I'm not being
an asshole. I'm responding to what you wrote. Defend it or explain it but
stop trying to put the responsibility on my shoulders.

There have unquestionably been times when innocent actions resulted in
undeserving trouble. Photos of kids in bath tubs, for instance. You know,
laws strongly supported by people like your good buddy Ed who sees "filth"
in everything. But that does not justify abuse or molestation by anyone --
inside the family or outside of the family. Obviously families allow
behavior to occur within them that they would condemn outside of them. Do
we really want strangers changing our children's diapers or wiping their
butts in the bathroom? I find it a bit amusing that you're suggesting that
this is some sort of unfair discrimination against outsiders... how would
you feel about one having sex with your wife (if you ever had one)? At
least that would have a chance of being fully consensual and informed.

You belittle the role the RCC took in those cases. It's nearly as bad
as denying they happened.
And accepting that ONE case happens hardly balances out the majority of
cases that you've cruelly ridiculed. You don't even entertain the
possibility that these other cases might be genuine. Instead, you
immediately begin condemning and insulting those making the accusations.
I am always skeptical of claims of abuse, rape, molestation, etc. and
always want more information. But I feel that those making the accusation
must at least initially be treated with some respect as the investigation is
done. I also believe that the RCC has earned a reputation for not
responding properly to abuse that has been found within itself. This makes
me more likely to take accusations of abuse seriously, especially when the
stories are independently substantiated and bear such strong resemblences to
one another *and* refer to situations that are entirely believable. This
isn't a bunch of pre-schoolers claiming that their teachers dug tunnels and
killed dogs and flew in hot air balloons and sacrificed to the devil. The
claims being made are not generally outrageous or unbelievable (although
they are heartbreaking and not what we'd like to believe).

"... the Javis case?"
Karen's not a human to you. She's a "case," eh?
You don't have to "deny" anything (although I believe you've tried to
goad her). You have an arsenal of childish skills at your ready to show in
what low esteem you hold anyone who's claimed to be abused by clergy. You
seem to have this idea that this newsgroup exists for your personal reading
enjoyment. That our lives and most intimate details should be placed before
you in big letter type so that you can casually browse our deepest hurts and
bloodiest emotional cuts and scars. Your posts serve as a constant reminder
to those who have been hurt that there are, unfortunately, carrion eaters
such as yourself who like to circle those in pain in the hopes that they can
lap up a little for their personal satisfaction.

Not in my dreams. In the legal system, Duke. Judges who have ruled
against the RCC have said as much.
Translation: Duke is sloppy with his facts yet again but, instead of a
gracious "ooops," he attacks the person with more accurate information.
Pretty typical, actually.
I guess Duke doesn't see a difference between the United States of
America and the state of Texas.

Nope. Not Quebec.
Oh, but you don't care. Quebec = Victoria = Alberta = Ontario = Yukon =
Nova Scotia = Manitoba = Saskatchewan = British Columbia = New Brunswick =
NW Territories = Canada. It's all the same to Duke apparently.
I'm sure someone would be happy to tell you which province it did happen
in, but we've seen how polite you are to people who know something you
don't.

"Maybe."
You're suddenly willing to make a decision based on a "maybe."
But only in favor of the RCC. How telling.

Of course Darklady will do that, Duke.
I was raised by an old school Roman Catholic mother and a Southern
Baptist father who was a career NCO in the US Army. After serving as a drill
sergeant at Fort Leonard Wood he willingly did a tour of Viet Nam and would
have happily done another if marital difficulties (his Catholic wife wanted
a divorce for "mental cruelty") had not brought him back home. I was raised
in a family that didn't take any crap, although it dished out its own unique
blend. I'm a lot more reasonable and a lot more self-controlled than any
other member of my family. But I don't take much crap myself, Duke.
Especially not from people whose views I hold no respect for and whose
behavior makes it difficult for me to extend them the courtesies I prefer to
extend to those with whom I converse.
Having said this, allow me to further say that I am glad to see the
words I've quoted above. They reassure me that there is some shred of
humanity and responsibility within you. I just wish that you could move
beyond your own anger to see that there exists shreds of humanity in the
a.r.c. regulars. I think that our rejection of the RCC's theology has made
it difficult for you to see that the vast majority of us are interested in
justice, not revenge.
It's one of the things I rejected when I left the RCC. I may sometimes
have vengeful feelings but I don't give in to them. Punishment must have
meaning and purpose and must be in balance with the offense committed. Thus
I reject the RCC, Christianity and the concept of "original sin," the need
for a sacrificial savior or reconciliation with any god or gods.

Probably because people like myself still consider such behaviour
inappropriate, even by parents. I know I would never behave in such a
way, nor my fiancee with her children.

Did you need this insult. It immediately has weakened your argument and
made it more likely that people would ignore the remainder of the

This is quite right. Would you not prosecute a father who regularly
stroked his daughters genitals. He may consider it normal practice and
not molestation, but that does not mean that it is not.

And these cases and many others are investigated. But why, why, does the
church refuse to aid investigations, surely it would want to know the
truth. In England the Catholic church was censored by the government for
actively trying to prevent investigations, actively trying to coerce
witnesses, actively putting obstacles in the way of police investigations
and actively covering up known cases.

Have you bothered to try and find out what happened, or are you not
bothered to try and clean up your church.

No, but many of us keep up to date on the current events. We tend to try
and discover what evidence is available and what the verdict of the court
was. Something that the churches try to suppress.
I personally think that innocent until proven guilty is fine, but the
church seems to think that innocent after proof, as long as the proof can
be suppressed. Many of these cases where known to the church years before
it became public knowledge in a court of law.

Got a nice crunchy treat here for Darklady's a.r.c. puppy girl.
And a nice scratch behind the ears.
Duke. You're doing it again. You goofed and you're blaming it on
someone else.
Are you out of Xanax?
Karen posted two links. One went to a site containing four stories, one
of which was hers. The other went to the Survivors Network of those Abused
by Priests (http://www.snap-net.org:/).
Unfortunately I don't have the URL for Karen's story, although I'm sure
we could find it if we did a search.
She posted these at least twice if not three times. You've just ignored
them.
You might want to make sure you're clean before you start calling other
people dirty.

Amusing that she's the jerk for pointing out four elements relating to
her "case" but you're not a jerk for bringing in several points that have
nothing to do with the discussion.
But then, why not? I mean, you fucked up regarding Joe's story and now
you're fucking up regarding Karen's. You're doing fine, Duke. Keep up the
good work.
I'm not a "pretend" anything, dux. I don't even hide behind Deja.com when I
post something.
In a country like the U.S.A., where the issue of "States' rights" is raised
every few years, are you going to pretend that there is no difference between a
state legislature and the federal congress? That a state's governor is the
equivalent of the Chief Executive? That federal agencies must take
responsibility for the deeds or misdeeds of state agencies?
Is the difference between the government in Albany, New York and the government
in Washington, D.C. "insignificant?"
Canada doesn't have states, dux, but provinces and territories, all with their
own governments, all empowered to control certain things within their own
boundaries -- things like law enforcement, education, sales taxes, a level of
income tax, vehicle licensing, labour regulations, hospital administration and
the administration and regulation of social welfare --
_without_interference_from_the-federal-government_.
That federal government is in Ottawa, btw, not Washington.
FYI, six of our ten provinces are somewhat large. Three are larger than Texas.
The State of Louisiana could fit into the Province of Manitoba five times over.
The Province of Quebec is bigger than Alaska.
> > Would you have people hurl bricks at Washington because of the shady

>
> If this guy did wrong, why not?
Are you even aware of who "this guy" was?
Huey P. Long, Governor of Louisiana (1928-32) and U.S. senator (1932-35), the
fabled "Kingfish," who was shot dead in Baton Rouge in 1935. He lined his
pockets while Governor of the state. He was shot because of something he did
while governor.
Does the government in Washington have the power to remove state governors if
they are corrupt? I don't think so -- or they would have pulled the plug on the
Kingfish's younger brother when *he* became governor of Louisiana.
You remember the brother, dux? EARL K. Long?

You heard something about the city of Vancouver, dux. Just a city on the west
coast, not a province, and it's half a continent away from Quebec. Trying to
connect the two would be like saying a city on the U.S. west coast (pick any one
at all) has problems because of the number of priests in Maine.

We are not talking about individual priests, you miserable squirmer, but whole
organizations and religious communities.
In the case of the Duplessis Orphans, the wrongdoing began at the *Quebec*
government level. The social structure of Quebec at that time virtually
dictated that all the non-governmental agencies complicit in the wrongdoing were
administered by or affiliated with the RCC.
Socially unacceptable babies (mostly bastards) were labelled as mentally
defective while they were wards of the government and in the care of RCC-run
orphanages. Their lives were blighted.
Priests acting on their own could not have involved entire orphanages staffed
and run by members of lesser religious orders. Authority for these actions
could only have come from the diocesan level, or above. The Duplessis
government did not make deals with small fry.

I notice you limit the liability to an apology, and make no mention of
compensation.
It was priests, lay brothers and nuns, dux. And note, please -- I have not said
that the RCC has *not* apologized for its part in this particular horror -- only
that *if* such an apology has been made, it did not receive the press coverage
of the apology duly given by the current government of Quebec.

WRONG AGAIN
The Bishop of Fall River continually promoted Father Porter from 1
church to a church of a higher rating after Porter was found playing
with the altar boys in his room, and it wasn't checkers. The Bishop
did this several times.
Then there is Archbishop Sanchez of Santa Fe who dallied with the
female altar servers.
Just to name a few that have made it to the courts.

Right on, arjay. The idiot goes to great lengths to call proven victims of
molestation liars, then summarily accuses my parents of having molested me

belief that what he accuses my parents of having done is common in families
is beyond words. Surely he can'te so dense as to no see how ridiculous his

This is the FIRST time duckie admits that the priests should receive

Karen, he won't answer your question because he does not see questions
directed to him. He might correct your grammar but he won't answer
them.
I even put the word QUESTION with arrows in front of it and he still
could not find it.
IT can't even see the lines that it types. The dumbfuck LIES from one
line to the next.
Don't loose sleep waiting for its answer!!!!!!!!!!! And I know you
haven't lost any sleep over dipshit.

His elevator doesn't stop at all the floors nor does it reach the top.
Correct my grammar? Woe betide anyone who dares even think of such an
abominable act. I haven't an English 'A' level for nothing!!!!
Karen - being extremely modest!
Is the elevator at the beach [OUT OF ORDER] Rumor has it, that elevator
was shut down due to bottoming out.

Unlike arcers, I discuss the important points, I don't try to
make "hay" over the insignificant meaningless details.
I'll just leave the remained of this post so everyone can see the bs
being shoveled out.

Humanity in rude, sj, ds, etc etc etc - surely you jest. Ask thomas
why he carefully hid from the whole Joe story.

Rejecting it does not eliminate it.
*snicker*
I see. When you make a mistake it's just "insignificant meaningless
details" but when someone else makes a goof it "discredits" them.
You're a real prize. Under prize see "booby."
You lose points for thinking about breasts, Duke. ;)

You deny the humanity of the people in this newsgroup? Thanks for
proving (once again) was a sociopath you are.
Thomas never hid from the "whole" Joe story. You're the one
persistantly refusing to read or absorb the initial and repeated posting of
Joe's years of recieved abuse as a child.
You appear to have no ethics at all. It doesn't matter to you what Joe
suffered -- it only matters to you that he won't accept responsibility for
it.
