This is downright sick...

One of the highest-ranking officials in the Catholic Church says sexually abused children can experience “a spiritual encounter with God through the priest” while being molested.

Australia’s most powerful clergy, Archbishop of Melbourne Denis Hart, says the Catholic practice of confession is satisfactory for dealing with pedophilia in the church as it helps priests absolve “their own guilt” after sexually abusing children.

Asked whether he was prepared to be jailed for failing to report child sex abuse by Catholic pedophile priests, Archbishop Hart confirmed he was willing to serve prison time. He also claimed the right to cover for pedophiles in the church is an “absolutely sacrosanct communication of a higher order.”

He made the shocking statement in response to the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse which stated there should be “no excuse, protection nor privilege” for Catholic clergy who failed to alert police of abuse within the church.

But Archbishop Hart disagreed and insisted that sexual abuse was “a spiritual encounter with God through the priest” and was “of a higher order” than criminal law.

A new report by the commission proposed 85 sweeping changes to the criminal justice system and recommended that priests face criminal charges for failing to report serious crimes such as sexual abuse to the police.

As the law currently stands, clergy are not legally obliged to report crimes to the police and disciplinary proceedings for criminal activity by members of the Catholic Church are handled internally by Canon law, which operates independently of the regular legal procedure.

Following an investigation by the commission, officials believe that the Catholic Church is using “confessional confidentiality” as a cover for not reporting child sex abuse by active pedophiles to the authorities.

“We understand the significance of religious confession – in particular, the inviolability of the confessional seal to people of some faiths, particularly the Catholic faith”, said the report. “However, we heard evidence of a number of instances where disclosures of child sexual abuse were made in religious confession, by both victims and perpetrators.

Here in America it’s the liberals that protect pedophiles and other criminals if they are illegal aliens.

Not really, after all it was conservatives who circled the wagons around Roy Moore. Open your eyes boy, but pull your head out of your backside first.

Accusations against Moore were not proven and many statements about him discredited but the truth has never been a big concern to you.

You people are fond of saying that Obama was never convicted and Judge Moore wasn’t either.As far as my backside is concerned I couldn’t fit my head up there because you seem to have taken permanent residence and there is not room for both of us, I guess any safe space will do with liberals.

Liberals attacked Roy Moore because he was a Republican. The accusations were the excuse to blacken his reputation and destroy his chances of election. All of the accusations were of at least 40 year old encounters, none were recent and this alone is suspect. Pedophiles do not change their predilections so get a plastic window for your belly, it will help since you seem to have your head up your ass constantly.

Communists have infiltrated a large number of their men, into the Priesthood, as a fifth column to destroy the Church from within. Many of these men have reached high position. This Cardinal is either one of these sleepers or is himself a pederast.

Kevyn

Thanks for making my point by defending a pedophile.

Liberty Tree

The only point you have made is you abysmal, self inflicted, blind ignorance.

You are pretty damned dumb Kevyn, that wasn't a defense of Roy Moore it was a counter to your implicit tarring of Conservatives with pedophilia simply because they defended Moore out of partisanship. None of the allegations has been proven nor has he been arrested and charged with any violations. Again, very suspect that only 40 year old accusations were made when the statute of limitations precludes any legal punishment. Just enough smoke to destroy his election chances but nothing that would require a trial and proof of allegations. Pedophiles do not stop their perversions, he would still be at it, if it were true.

Given that the Democrats have used paid accusers to do th same in other races it makes this instance stink with the putrid odor of mendacity.

Hey Dumoss, I have it on good authority you are still sexually abusing chickens. However, I do not believe unfounded allegations make it so - with you, or Roy Moore.
