Breaking News; LA Catholic Child Rapist Files Released

[D1B]

More grim and immoral behavior from the Mother Church. Catholics all over the world should be ashamed.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Confidential personnel records are now offering a glimpse into the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal. They detail a pattern of cover-ups within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles. For years, victims have been clamoring to get their hands on these documents.

The documents are part of a lawsuit seeking damages in a case involving a Mexican priest accused of abusing at least 26 children after he was transferred to Los Angeles in the 1980s. The documents include personnel files of 13 other clerics as well as notes written by Cardinal Roger Mahony and other church leaders.

The newly released documents reveal that retired Cardinal Roger Mahony and other top officials with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles tried to conceal the molestation of children from law enforcement decades ago.

The files show church leaders moved abusive priests out of state, handled damage control and consulted with accused priests behind the scenes.

How anyone can still support this sick, fucking cabal is amazing. You're truly sick people who need help. You're no different than the shithead German people/Nazi's who allowed Hiter (with the help of the catholic church) to practically destroy the world.

Documents ordered released from the sexual abuse files of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles are starting to get out. Today's LA Times lede is a grabber: "Fifteen years before the clergy sex abuse scandal came to light, Archbishop Roger M. Mahony and a top advisor plotted to conceal child molestation by priests from law enforcement, including keeping them out of California to avoid prosecution..."

The archdiocese's failure to purge pedophile clergy and reluctance to cooperate with law enforcement has previously been known. But the memos written in 1986 and 1987 by Mahony and Msgr. Thomas J. Curry, then the archdiocese's chief advisor on sex abuse cases, offer the strongest evidence yet of a concerted effort by officials in the nation's largest Catholic diocese to shield abusers from police. The newly released records, which the archdiocese fought for years to keep secret, reveal in church leaders' own words a desire to keep authorities from discovering that children were being molested.

In the confidential letters, filed this month as evidence in a civil court case, Curry proposed strategies to prevent police from investigating three priests who had admitted to church officials that they abused young boys. Curry suggested to Mahony that they prevent them from seeing therapists who might alert authorities and that they give the priests out-of-state assignments to avoid criminal investigators.

Former Archbishop Roger Mahony and a top adviser discussed ways to prevent law enforcement from learning about molestations of children by clergy more than a decade before the abuses became public knowledge, according to internal Catholic church records released today.

How shameful.

One would think the objective source of morality would have kept "Jesus' Church" on the right path.

How many hundreds of years have these sick fuck been raping children on an industrial scale?

Just read this one. Pretty damn pathetic.

CONFIDENTIAL FILE: REV. JAMES FORD
Mons1gnor George Niederauer cal led ll/23/87. A second-year
Theology student had come to him to let him know that a former
seminarian, REDACTED who had been in this student's class,
was dying of AIDS. Both had been in the seminary earlier and
left. This man had been very involved in indiscriminate sexual
activity. Only one other student had · been involved with him.
However, the student informed Monsignor Niederauer that REDACTED
had a long involvement with Jim Ford while he was in St. Rose of
Lima. The seminarian also· told him that Jim Ford tended to be
involved with high school boys and that, in his estimation,
inappropriate activity was involved.

Both Monsignor Nierderauser and I agreed we would not inform Jim
Ford for the reason that the people involved in these activities
usually are aware of these matters.

Regarding: Rev. James A. Ford - Catholic Priest

The common theme I see here is that Catholicism enjoys and thrives in liberal cities.



Oh, and I wish the worst on anyone that harms children the way these monsters have. And, those that seek to cover it up are just as culpable.

Another shithead catholic poking fun at child victims of rape.

To some extent, there is really nothing new here. The LA Archdiocese paid, by far, the largest civil settlement for abuse claims a few years back, so that there is really bad stuff in its files should come as no surprise.

Cardinal Mahony belongs in jail. He is worse than Cardinal Law, and as bad as Cardinal Bevilacqua. I guess the ambiguity of the laws 20 years ago, and the statute of limitations, is going to save him.

The cover up, ultimately orchestrated by the Vatican, will help him too.


The catholic church hierarchy = an organized crime syndicate with a sole purpose of corralling boy ass for the enjoyment of the priest class. Under the snoozing and clueless noses of the laity, they succeeded for centuries in creating a veritable Disneyworld for pedophiles - predominatly deviant homosexuals - sadist and other criminal perverts.

Bottom line - If you wanted to fuck children and get away with it - you became a catholic priest.

"This is all intolerable and unacceptable to me," Mahony wrote in 1991 on a file of the Rev. Lynn Caffoe, a priest suspected of locking boys in his room, videotaping their crotches and running up a $100 phone sex bill while with a boy. Caffoe was sent for therapy and removed from ministry, but Mahony didn't move to defrock him until 2004, a decade after the archdiocese lost track of him.

"He is a fugitive from justice," Mahony wrote to the Vatican's Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who is now Pope Benedict XVI. "A check of the Social Security index discloses no report of his demise, so presumably he is alive somewhere."

Caffoe died in 2009, six years after a newspaper reporter found him working at a homeless mission two blocks from a Salinas elementary school.

Vatican orchestrated.

[D1B]

I bet a lawyer figured this one out:

Priests were sent out of state for psychological treatment because they revealed more when their therapists were not required to report child abuse to law enforcement, as they were in California, he said.

Who's another "shithead catholic?" Joe Biden? Apparently so. He should be ashamed.

Mahoney and Curry, reluctantly and decades too late, told to hit the road.

While better late than never as the saying goes, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles today continued to preserve its own reputation at all costs. Simultaneous to releasing 12,000 damning documents that illustrate decades of concealment, cover up and deliberate, reckless disregard for the safety of children in the Archdiocese, the Archdiocese made public the resignation of Bishop Curry and Cardinal Mahony from any public ministry. After fighting in court against the release of these documents for over six years, it is incredibly disingenuous of the Archdiocese to now make news of the resignation of these two officials. The resignations are an empty gesture, a hollow attempt to right decades of horrific wrongs by these two hierarchs and many others.

In the end, survivors have triumphed. What is finally made public this evening by court order, as a provision of the 2007 settlement, is a long time coming for the survivors, their families and those survivors who have yet to come forward. 12,000 documents, encompassing the secret files on all of the credibly accused priests within the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, these documents expose the truth; they unveil a concerted conspiracy to deny, minimize and conceal, to preserve the reputation of the Archdiocese over the safety of children at all costs. Although today the Archdiocese's shameless attempts to save face have not changed, what has changed is the scope of public knowledge regarding the appalling practices of this Archdiocese in the handling of dangerous predators among its ranks. The released files lay bare the festering flesh of this Archdiocese for all the world to critique, a momentous day for survivors indeed.In the end, survivors have triumphed.

Philly, LA, Ireland, Australia, Milwaukee, Portland, Wilmington, Canada, Germany, Boston, Chicago, New Mexico, Washington State, Kansas City, Miami, Maine, Youngstown Ohio, Montana, South America - all major church sex scandals - all dealt with by the church the EXACT same way.

Orchestrated by the Vatican and the primary agent of evil is the current pope.

He's next, if the Cardinals don't poison him first. Stay tuned.

Um......you were saying about those who wished to commit sexual assault became CATHOLIC priests?

As a practicing Catholic, I think everyone who insisted on covering up these crimes SHOULD be defrocked, banned from the pulpit and excommunicated, included B16 himself if he had anything to do with this.

This happens among all walks of faith Jeff and you know this.

"Everyone else is doing it, so its no big deal"

No one said it doesn't happen in other religions. Religion is all about control and as such, since day one, has proved to be fertile ground for all sorts of atrocities.

However, this thread is dealing with one sect. If you want to start another for the Protestants or the Jews, go for it and I'll no doubt be a frequent contributor.

Keep in mind, while it happens elsewhere, you'll be hard pressed to find a cover-up rivaling the catholic church's in terms of scale, sophistication, arrogance and breathtaking disregard for the welfare of children and families,the law and the values of Jesus Christ.
