Estudio: Abuso sexual encubierto por la iglesia no por años sino siglos

El terror empieza a asomar su cara... Si se ha criticado a la Iglesia Católica por la inquisición, por guerras en nombre de Dios como las cruzadas, por perseguir a la ciencia, por luchar contra la democracia ( la República Española, la IIIa República Francesa, el Chile de Allende...) y apoyar a dictaduras, no hemos visto nada, ya que según un estudio realizado por mismos sacerdotes, el Vaticano ha sabido del del abuso sexual sistémico a menores por 1700 años!

"... Facing an estimated 800 sexual-abuse lawsuits in California, Roman Catholic officials have argued that the church learned only in recent years that it had a widespread problem with priests molesting children.

A report in February by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, for example, said Cardinal Roger M. Mahony and other bishops didn't realize until 1985 that sexual abuse by clergy was "more than a matter of tragic but isolated incidents."

But a North Carolina priest and two former monks who live in Southern California say they have scoured ancient Vatican records and forgotten Latin texts to show just the opposite: that the church has recognized the problem of abuse by priests for at least 1,700 years and has failed to address it successfully.

"The contention that the present scandal is isolated to this era is completely debunked by the Roman Catholic Church's own documents," concluded Father Thomas P. Doyle and former monks Richard Sipe and Patrick Wall in their 375-page report, "Canonical History of Clerical Sexual Abuse." The authors finished the report last month and are looking for a publisher.

Doyle, now a retired military chaplain, co-wrote a seminal report to U.S. bishops in 1985, warning of problems with abusive priests. Sipe counseled hundreds of abusive priests before he left the clergy. Wall, who heard molestation cases against priests when he served on the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis tribunal council, now works for a plaintiff's attorney."

Asco, esto simplemente da asco... El artículo entero está en Los Angeles Times (registro necesario). Y aún así Ratzinger - que conoció todos los abusos de fines del siglo XX y los encubrió- dice hablar en nombre de Dios, pero será del dios de las tinieblas...
