- Just how widespread is the sex abuse scandal in the Catholic Church? How big is the Catholic Church's scandal? The worldwide cover-up has occurred for decades, extends all the way to the top of the Vatican, and despite hollow apologies, continues to this day.

There's a corny old joke I know. A guy was once in a hotel in a cold climate where there was an ecclesiastical conference taking place. One very cold evening he wanted to sit near the fire in the lounge to warm up, but loads of priests were hogging the fireplace warmth, and he couldn't get close.
So he said in a loud voice : "I dreamt about Hell last night."
To which some priests turned and asked, " Really ? What was it like ?"
"Just like here really. You couldn't get near the fire for priests."
This is what cults do.
Don't join cults.
CaptainLogic unfortunately most people who are in religions were born into it
We’ve got a disturbing cult here in the US led by an orange lunatic...
orion khan don’t equate a democratically elected president to a cult leader. Just like what leftists did with racism you will make it a meaningless word. Also, as far as we know, Donald trump doesn’t fit the definition of a lunatic.

@jackeilhigh
It's worse in the Catholic Church because you can only find salvation, God, the road to heaven etc, via a priest's good offices. They hold the keys to God's kingdom.
Ergo, they often believe themselves above the herd of plebs, or common morality for that matter. They prey ( not pray) on their parishioners' naivety, gullibility, blind faith, stupidity, take your pick, to indulge themselves. Priests, who are "poor" with few earthly possessions, by sticking close to the rich among their flock, can have a lovely life. Top of the range Audi, or VW Golf, no problem. Rolex watch, sure, why not ? They have a very high standard of poverty. There's women. A good looking young priest may be a challenge for a woman. An elderly old priest may be more challenging keeping her children away from him. But... if you want to go to heaven, you need to keep on the right side of Father O'Flaherty or whatever.
If the police finally come knocking, perhaps move Father Fingers O'Toole to another parish. Better still, another country. The Catholic Church is very big.
The corruption is deeply ingrained.
Protestant Book Followers have another problem. They must believe that EVERY SINGLE WORD in that collection of tall tales called The Bible, is God's Word.
Evangelical preachers aren't much better. They spend the money 💰 on cocaine and hookers.
"Keeping religion immune from criticism is both unwarranted and dangerous." Lawrence M. Krauss
1 Corinthians 13:12 KJV Not just there, but in most other places it’s on a case to case basis. A good example is this.
@1 Corinthians 13:12 KJV Basically everywhere that isn't an Islamic nation? Like I said it's a case to case thing but there are still examples of it.
@1 Corinthians 13:12 KJV I never said they were laws, whether or not something is legal doesn't affect whether or not it's actually happening. Prime example: the topic of this video.
@1 Corinthians 13:12 KJV I don't know where you're from but here in the southeast united states its social (and in some VERY extreme cases actual) suicide to criticize the bible or any part of Christianity. And in the schools the teachers are constantly walking on eggshells saying things like "I'm not trying to oppose your beliefs" and "This is what I have to teach, I'm sorry if you don't agree with it". The Catholic institution is a religion, and no matter how they are protected doesn't change the fact that they are a religion being protected.
@1 Corinthians 13:12 KJV You should look into it, it happens a lot more than you think. And the people in charge of the school board being young earth creationists doesn't help much.
The problem isn't Why religion is protected, but the fact that it is. So on the issue at hand, the problem is that the Catholics are protected, we shouldn't be fighting over why.
What an evil empire.
The catholic church should be shut down, and the offenders and those complicit in covering up should be jailed... period.
@Randy HUTCHINSON Then they should choose a different denomination and not prop up the catholic church.
You think this is bad, you haven't looked at what goes on in Islamic countries, it's even worse.
Fuck religion.
@@WhoThisMonkey Anywhere you have religious fundamentalism in power or in a position of power is not good. In a more general sense Islam does seem to be quite a few steps behind in progress from the other Abrahamic religions. There are also the 'cults', if you like, of Mormonism, scientology and Jehova's Witnesses.
All these churches should be shut down. The Roman Catholic Church isn’t the only organization covering up this heinous criminal activity, all your Protestant Churches and especially these Christian fundamentalists are even worse.
Just get rid of religion entirely, pretty much the only difference between a cult and a religion is whether or not their founder is dead.
What can positive things religion give us that can't be achieved via secular means anyway?
When the Mormon church was outed over covering up rape at the mission training center in provo utah they used to same tactics. The hired a lawyer to dig up dirt on the accusser even though the accussed admited to his crimes.
Sadly this kind of thing is not limited to Catholics but is common among almost all organzied religion.
All religions should die off already.
It’s almost a given that abusers need religion to function …
Agree 💯💯💯
@@NickRowsell how else could they live with the crippling guilt of knowing that what they do and believe in is morally repugnant?
Yes, but some organizations are more prone than others as a function of ideology, authority,organization, access
Ugh. I almost couldn't bring myself to click on this vid, it makes me so sick. I'm an ex-Catholic and I still feel sick to my stomach that I was ever a part of it. All Catholics should be enraged...I haven't seen that.
Sorry. I know it's hard to watch. Hell, it was even harder to sift through all the footage and edit it. But we can't turn a blind eye any longer.
Furry Skeptic. My catholic friend told me" it is not not the Holy Catholic church,just some bad people in the church ..WTH,your R serious????😈😠
I'm with you. It's gut wrenching. I was raised Catlick, my uncle a priest, dad a lector and oldest brother an alter boy. I was never sexually abused. All the hell I experienced came from the evil penguins. For the record, Catholic school was safer, by far, than public school in Detroit's West side after the '67 riots.
Holy Koolaid I couldn't finish the first time I watched I started crying it was too much.
UGH, I hate that kind of response. Of course everyone in the church isn't bad but the institution is bad. I just can't stand the idea of anyone making excuses when children are being hurt. Fuck them. On the same note, I can't stand the smugness of other Christians with their 'see, I told you Catholics aren't true Christians. Our church is different'. Fuck off, no it isn't. They all have abuse of power.
7:23 This man delivered perhaps one of the most passionate and horrifying testimonies I may have ever heard. I was literally stunned into silence after hearing this.
I found myself tearing up just listening to it.
Why should we be stunned its not like they havent had scandal after scandal ,with no effect, for generations.
Your exactly right Thomas, not much of a surprise.
@@thomasridley8675 - You are correct. The scandals are nothing new. I was commenting on the man's delivery, his raw and uncensored depiction of the abuse he endured, not the notion that such abuse takes place.
@@sluttymctits4496
Hopely something will get done...this time. Not holding much hope. These people would support practically anything the church does.
This hits me hard. My great grand father was sexually abused as a boy and he hated priests ever since. He was just given up by his mother to an orphanage where the priest “hunted” so to speak. Once he ran away and hid under a boat for three days. Really tragic. That priest was caught, though. It was common knowledge back then that the guy targeted the church. This has been going on for ages, it needs to stop, people.
I know this is not useful but...
Funfact: Philippine President Rudrigo Duterte also hated priest because he was sexually assaulted as a child by them.. And the church is not that much of friends with him
Wow! God is so good 🙄
@@undrwatropium3724 Problem is, you people think a man's doing is attributed to an entire group of people when the reality is that molestation happens more outside of the church but of course someone like you didn't know that because you take everything other critics say as fact.
Stop the superstitious illiterate beliefs from millenia ago. Two trillion galaxies, billions of stars in each. The universe is immense. Nonsense from our illiterate frightened, smelly, unbathed ancestors IS NOT A WAY TO THE FUTURE. Sick pedofile gay priests, most of them! Sick Catholic Church, Satan's Followers in their sorrcerer's robes. Imagine how they stunk 2 or more thousands of years ago. Disgusting! Unholy!
Don't put your kid in an orphanage run by priests. Put him in a state orphanage. Er.... A few years back there was a children's home in SW London run by a council. Nothing to do with any church. Boys were farmed out from there to parties for rich paedos.
So, no, it's not JUST the Catholic Church. It's about very vulnerable people under the control of evil people in positions of authority and power.
That old man’s testimony about being raped broke my heart
The abhorrent theology of forgiveness of sin by a god instead of the victim is a huge portion of the problem. No one can forgive your trespasses but those you trespass against. "Forgiven" for all prior immoral acts priests think they are heaven-bound after making some boys experience living hell today.
An open practicing homosexual is denied communion by the Catholic Church. A covert homosexual pedophile priest administers communion in and is protected by the very same Catholic Church. If these are "men of God" that God is not worship worthy.
George Steele they’re not men of God. That’s what they want people to believe. The Church is full of all kind of evil. The only thing that they talk about is Homosexuals, which wasn’t in any Bible until 1946. I guess God reached down and added it. I believe the only problem with them is that they can’t reproduce . The elite need your children to fight there wars.
I agree. I'd also add that another problem with the theology is its lack of a Divine Feminine and its perverting of sex by seeing it as "sinful". Other religions have both male and female deities and view sex as a sacred thing, as something which allows humans to connect with or mirror the gods and bring life into the world. Contrast that with mainstream Christianity which has a single father god, his supposedly lifelong celibate son, and the son's perpetually virgin mother. There's something very wrong and very disturbing about that, especially when the consequences of such a theological/cosmological viewpoint manifests in the awful ways this video showed. Along with the obvious solutions of cleaning up the Church and acknowledging the victims, the mandatory vow of celibacy should be dropped (and Catholic clergy didn't always have to be celibate and unmarried, but that's a whole other story).
Christianity is the best formula yet devised for creating sociopaths. Why do you think they do revere Donald Trump? He does what the rank-and-file only wish they had the balls to do
I hope this goes viral.
Has been viral for quite some time, the alarming thing is the lack of change towards better...
Don't just hope. Let's make it go viral.
It has been "viral" for a long time. This is nothing new. The church is never held accountable for it.
Thymii no change. Just pray to an archangel and not worry about it.
7:24 Man, this guy broke me... that they dare attempt to discredit him is gross hubris... I have no doubt as to the veracity of his story and the hurt and anger he shows *_decades_* after his abuse is heartbreaking, more so that this is just *_one_* story from *_one_** victim* out of untold _thousands..._
I can't imagine how many lives have been shattered by abuse like that who are hurting too much to speak out, or how many people's suffering could have been prevented if the church had taken action rather than protected the predators.
Holy Koolaid - that’s what’s so disturbing about the PA grand jury... that they could find that many victims in *_one state_* with the hundreds of priests involved gives a sense of just how *_massive_* this problem is... as you say, I am sure for every victim that came forward there are 10x as many who could not. I feel *_very_* lucky that my early years in the Episcopal Church growing up were with a priest (who in my travels and studies of religion is one of the handful of truly _holy_ people I’ve met) were nothing but enlightening and intellectually stimulating (when I began to question things, rather than try to re-enforce things he gave me dozens of other holy texts and books about religion and told me to decide for myself), so while I left the church, I remember it quite fondly.
The JW sexual abuse scandal needs more press as well.
This is unacceptable. Catholics won't call out these priests instead they get offended when reasonable individuals call them out. I am disappointed in our society at how we let these abusive priests get away. It seems once you are called reverend, you can commit crime with immunity.
What’s the difference between them and Jeffery Epstein.

I am glad I don’t get my morals from the bible.
You can't get morals from a source where there are none!
The Bible ain’t bad if you actually read it the morals it teaches is beautiful the way of life is beautiful the Vatican 🇻🇦 makes it look bad don’t blame the Bible for mans sins blame and condemn those who are guilty you don’t and shouldn’t judge a whole for what a lot do I’m proud to be a Christian
Beautiful biblical morals, such as genocide is fine 1 Samuel 15:3, killing babies and toddlers in revenge makes you happy Psalm 137, tying up and trying to murder your own kid in the name of God is the best sign of devotion Genesis 22?
As bad as the vatican are, if they actually followed the bible, they would be many times worse than how they act now.
charimonfanboy well I’m glad you take the Bible out of context what you failed to mention there was they were all possessed and evil and committed very evil acts which is why god got rid of them then when the whole world became very evil he had a flood to cleanse the world because the devil ruined his most cherished creation us if you actually read the whole bible and lived by it and everyone did aswell the world would be a much better place and more peaceful example the 10 commandments and love thy neighbor as I love myself all beautiful and as for the Vatican I agree with you and this video I condemn the Vatican and it’s evil ways don’t care for the pope or cardinals or bishops and it’s very sad how the devil has consumed pretty much all of them and the Vatican however I won’t condemn all religious people for the actions of them if there was no religion this world would be much worse for many reasons and I’d gladly explain why if you like I do wish all those who are responsible for this pay the price sadly a lot will probably get away with it which is sick but they will pay for it in the next life for sure but we can all hope they pay for it in this life as well
1, which bible passage did I mention was about the flood? I love how you're throwing the out of context card out there without even bothering to read which passages I was referring to. Maybe read those passages I mentioned and see the context for yourself.
2, I have read the bible, hence me knowing how evil parts of it is, not just the parts my minister or bible club or Christian therapist told me to read. The world might indeed be a better place if everyone read the bible fully, but only if they realised how evil it was and stopped following it.
3, The 10 commandments.... 1,2,3 are rules for people to worship a particular God, 4 isn't really actionable, 5,7,8 are actually good laws to have, so good in fact that every society ever known has them as law without the bible, 6 adultery is as bad as murder theft and perjury, do you really want to live in that kind of society? and 9 and 10 are the worst of the lot, quite ignoring the sexism of lumping them together as if a woman is just property of her husband, these commandments are not opposing theft or adultery (7 and 6) this is turning a thought into crime. Thought crime has no part in law outside of the worst dystopian futures in fiction.
4, There are plenty of religious people who good, honest and kind, the only problem with that is that them being religious negates that. At my old church there were about a dozen ladies who would give money to charity every week, they would volunteer half a day of work each week to charities and they were good people trying to do their best to do good. Unfortunately, all the money they donated, about £520 a year, each, instead of going to charity, went to the upkeep of the church and it's minister's wages, that time they donated, went into cleaning/helping the church. Just imagine how much that time and money could have helped real charities if religion did not prevent religious people from doing good.

I was moved to tears by the testimony of that brave man at 7:22. Why would anyone stay in the catholic church? It's always abused its weaker members and although I wasn't abused physically, our family was abused emotionally. Told to go forth and multiply and then treated with derision because we weren't wealthy enough to donate large amounts of cash. As a kid growing up in the 60s and 70s, to watch my parents panic as they struggled to find a $2 note to put in 'the envelope' because you had your name on the back. Two collections per mass. What a rort.

My uncle was abused by a priest. He’s never come forward, never even admitted it to his family. He wound up dropping out of college and becoming a drug addict. He did manage to get clean, get a degree, get married, and he’s lived on the straight and narrow for several decades now, but he didn’t stick around to raise his kids and he literally has zero contact with the vast majority of the family. The only time I’ve ever met him was at my little brother’s funeral, 19 years ago. My mom had no clue he was coming and she was nearly speechless when he hugged her then turned and left.
My uncle has obviously suffered deeply and still struggles with demons over it. I just hope he’s finally sought professional help in coping.
(We only know the extent of what happened because of court documents from the lawsuit filed by his 3 best friends from high school. They were all assaulted in the same way by the same priest. Obviously my uncle never stepped forward during the case, but he was identified multiple times as a 4th victim.)
ETA: It’s taken my mom a long time to come to this point, but she no longer attends church weekly, only going on major holidays and not even always then, and she has stopped all donations. I’m so damn proud of her.
i’m so proud of your mom too. and so deeply sorry for your uncle. he never deserves any of this. i hope he has found some support and can find happiness in his life.

That old Irish man telling his story made me cry it was so sad
I went to school in England. A catholic establishment for children aged 6-11 years. This was in the 1960s...even at age seven I knew there were three brothers/teachers to avoid being alone with. Luckily I was a day-boy so would go home at the end of the school-day. many of my school friends were not so lucky. Even older boys would abuse the younger ones once it had happened to them. I know of three old-school friends who have killed themselves because of this......and people question why I have been an atheist since my teens. The sooner science conclusively disproves this religious nonsense the better humanity will be.
I was raised Catholic and almost got SA by a priest on a sunday after he served the 1st nd 2nd mass. When I reported him to my chaplain, he just told me to forgive the disgusting priest and move on. Almost every priest I know has had inappropriate relations with kids/teenagers even married women.
How, just how, do the parents of the victims let this go?

No way - I 100% agree with you.
It's madness.. I used to truly believe that the church was my salvation. I prayed every day to be forgiven and I was scared I was going to hell. Was afraid of god for the first 22 years of my life. The day I finally realized that it's all garbage was the most liberating day of my life. Now I love myself not because of any god's blessing but because I'm a good person.

What I love about this is how the Church covers these crimes up while at the same time condemns adult gay people who have never sexually molested or assaulted children. I just adore beyond belief the hypocrisy. The way the Church hides their guilty perverts has been known for decades and yet little has been done to stop their garbage.

If you want this to be more hard-hitting, watch ‘The boys of St. Vincent’ available on Amazon Prime. It’s a dramatisation based on the abuse in Canada, though it uses different names for the region and people etc.
It’s a fairly ballsy film considering its age, but the fact is that it is much worse than portrayed. The Catholic Church, as it is today and has been up to today, is not a force for good, but instead they abuse and corrupt vulnerable people without a clear end.

When I was older, I did tell my Dearest Mother what was going on, and I told her what I was told by my rotten brother that he would have killed her if I told.
But she assured me that he wouldn't dare lay a finger on her.
My Dearest Mother put an end to the child molestation, and helped me heal from it.
And these "priests" can sear away in hell for what they have done to innocent children.
I live in Pennsylvania and I remember reading an article in the newspaper about the abuse. They interviewed some members of one of the churches in Erie where abuse took place and asked the members what they thought about the scandal. One of the members stated that they were tired of the church being singled out and that abuse is everywhere. They said that the real problem in the world is the availability of pornography. This is like the people who say that we have school shootings because of pornography. Unbelievable
There's a line in Blackadder where the Archbishop of Canterbury died. Blackadder's brother says it's sad "I don't know how we'll tell his catamite"
Throwaway lines like that show it was well known about 30 years ago. Long before porn became *that* available. Plus this stuff has living survivors going back to early in the last century. Saying the same stuff.
7:23 I felt sick to my stomach hearing this happened to someone. And to think that it happens to so many kids... that's absolutely disgusting.
I felt literal rage filling my heart. Not a single one of this victims got any justice whatsoever. You couldn't even imagine the wrath I felt. It made me want to take justice into my own hands.
~9:20 - "But how could this possibly be so wide spread?"
Think in terms of the first commandment of christianity being something like: "sex is evil, so so evil the only time you speak of it is to condemn it". This means the christian church has been breeding people who are good at having a lot of sex without talking about it for about 2000 years. And they have no problem being complete hypocrites when they call sex evil.
It really is powerful when the elderly Irish gentleman shakes and tears up while telling his tragic story in front of a room full of people. What he went through, even after the ordeal that he endured ... no innocent human being should ever go through such brutal torment. Years of learning about my fellow apes and their nature as well as going through a seemingly ceaseless series of tragic losses in my own life has sadly desensitized me to the extent that I am able to watch these videos, but every now and again it just catches you. That got me.
The thing is, back in the day there was NOBODY that you could tell. If you told anyone that a priest molested you then your life would be ruined. You have to live your whole life shouldering the burden. YOU are the dirty one.
I finally shared my story at 60 years old. I had long been estranged from my family because I wasn't Catholic enough. I didn't have anything to lose any more.
Catholicism is hands down one of the most evil influences on society today. It destroys people, it destroys families, in the name of Jesus. Priests are crooked, perverted pieces of shit, brimming with hypocrisy. No thanks.
I was in the seminary to become a priest for two years. There wasn’t any “behind the scenes” talk about this kind of stuff. But it’s this kind of stuff as to why I left the faith. I couldn’t defend actions like this.
Great report thank you people need to know.
I will never look at crosses the same again😳
I know, right!?
Yep. The ancient Roman 4 way dildo...
@@MrSuperbeast92 Jesus died for your pleasure.
Well. He Did say for us too take up our own crosses... He just didn't say which part of us to take it up.
nureauamerica It is a execution device.
I wish anyone knew how Mormons are guilty of this too.
I was but I can't win against this. Thank you. I agree. I now believe there's alot of cult in churches
@Tom Sawyer Thank you so much. I've considered a lawyer but thank you
@Tom Sawyer Thank you so much. I'm so sorry you experienced what you did. I hope your doing ok now. Part of just says why bother it'd be painful, but I'm not sure. Thank you
Orthodox too. In no way as huge as the catholics(unless the cover up is bigger than I thought) but it exists and it's excused and covered up in the same pathetic way. I wonder now which church isn't guilty of this shit?
Thank you for your advocacy❤️❤️❤️❤️
There’s a Catholic Church right in front of my old high school and right near a supermarket. I went there when I was in year 3 to do my first holy communion (despite the fact that I’ve always been an atheist and made it known I didn’t want to do it) and to think I could’ve been sexually abused is terrifying. I’ve been thinking about calling the police to do an investigation on the church to see is this church guilty of sexual assault, how much money is going to the Vatican? These are questions that need to be answered because until then, churches will have a limitless supply of children to abuse.
Thankfully it looks that this has only increased the rate at which the catholic church and many other rleigious communities/denominations with similar problems are bleeding paying members. It still needs to be persecuted to the utmost extend of the law and why the fuck is there a statute of limitation on ruining a person's life forever in their earliest youth? That too needs to change. No expiry on bearing the consequences for rape. Of childs or anybody else. Period.
My mom probably didn't know it only made me go to please my Great-Grandma.
Eh, I get the sentiment but like, you could've been sexually abused in lots of other situations that are even more terrifyingly common. Family members, teachers, etc.
The Catholic Church doesn't have a monopoly on evil shit.
I wonder, how many residential schools were run by the Catholic Church?
All religion needs to end till they can demonstrate a god really exists.
10 Catholic priests didn’t like this video...
No, it's probably some of her members, for they are the real problem.
good work bro
I still struggle to understand how anyone can still be religious. I most definitely struggle to understand how anyone could call themselves a Catholic.
But looking at the history of sex-crimes, especially those involving children and teens, shows that even in regular civilian life it's been common to avoid or be very slow and lax on punishment in many parts of the world. If it included same-sex assaults it was often even worse.
If I'm not mistaken, which I very well may be, the serial killer known as "The Vampire of Hanover" (I think) had something like 18 charges of rape and pedophilia with young men and boys when he was finally attested and killed for the horrific murders he committed.
When you live in an extremely conservative, old-world, repressed and sick culture, like that of the churches "leadership", it's easy to see how and why they are the way that they are. I just can't understand why anyone in the congregations around the world refuse to leave. It is indeed a pedophile syndicate that should be dismantled as soon as humanly possible.
There was a guy who raped and killed over a hundred young boys across 3 countries, he was brought to “justice” and now is a pastor in his penitentiary, the irony! There’s no dead penalty so he lives on unlike the children he tortured and murdered!
I'm not religious. I never was but I guess I considered myself a Christian. That's the only religion I was ever exposed to but then my daughter converted to Islam @Muslim Brooklyn
I knew the bible didn't make sense. I knew it was full of inconsistencies and contradictions and errors. I started reading the Quran. I knew right away that it was the same BS. I started watching Christian debates. Christian vs. Islam debates and found @Holy Kool aid..... I realized really quick that all religion is man made for power, control and money. I guess now I'm agnostic but I'm only seeing recently how toxic and abusive religion is. I live in the bible belt. In Arkansas. Church on every street. Homeless people on every street. Churches don't pay taxes because they are supposed to be charities. Who do they help? I've watched documentaries on every religion. It's outrageous. It's like Nostradamus. His prophecies can be twisted into anything. Same as the bible. You can twist scripture into anything.
The truth is they just don't care. They'll say it's 'a few bad eggs' and ignore the fact that the 'good eggs' among them helped the bad eggs get around and silenced the victims.
No church should ever be allowed to declare bankruptsy. Church and members should pay and pay and pay.
Moral of the story: stay far, far away from religion. Keep your family even further away.
I live in a small town in Indiana. My childhood priest, father Dave Fleck, is now being investigated under “a claim of abuse from decades ago”. This is the man who we trusted. The investigation isn’t over yet so we don’t know for sure but the priest that used to work along side him was suspended because of child porn. I’m so glad I got out of that church but they work with a school.
Thank you for talking about this. I shared this in all my social media accounts. I usually never share any media that criticizes the catholic church where my family can see it, but in this case it would be extremely disrespectful to these victims if I cared more about what my family would think of me than in sharing their heartbreaking stories.
This may sound crude, but I know for a fact that if anything like that had happened to my brother or sister and someone got away with it because of something like this church cover up garbage, the perpetrator would not ever walk properly again if he could at all. Kneecaps. I would have no qualms about it. And I really just don't understand. If prosecution does not work because of corruption and cover-up then I believe it's totally valid to become the punisher. To hell with forgiveness, these people destroying lives and getting away with it and being smug about it? No way
As an 84 year old ex-Catholic, I distinctly remember running to confession to confess "touching myself."
In the dark confessional the priest listened earnestly and quietly as I was encouraged to go into detail about my youthful flights of infamy.
I was one of the lucky ones who had strict Catholic parents and my father would have "kicked a priest in the nuts" if he had molested one of his kids.
Unfortunately, too many Catholics have nothing but fear about their spiritual life and a real belief in hell to come to the realization that a priest is just a human person
who chose to run from the world and hide under the "apron" of the Catholic Church.
Yes, it is really a cult, but because there are so many Catholics who are easily comforted by "empty promises", the Church goes on and on.
Meanwhile its members sit in their pews with their intelligence turned off with the conviction that they are earning their way to "heaven."
Southern baptists are in this neck deep as well...
The problem of evil is hard enough for believers to explain away, but when it's the very church that is the source of evil must make those justifications especially difficult. But let's not be naive, the Catholic church has a known, millenia-long history of many other evils. This series should not surprise anyone.
I left the Catholic Church when I learned about this abuse. I am now an apostate.
I stand behind the Irish gentleman's testimony, for I was beaten in this fashion, too. The church was big on corporal punishment in those days. There were those who used this doctrine as a form of sexual release. It was about this time that I stopped drinking the Holy Koolaid. Nary a drop since.
Jeezus! Warn somebody if your going to put in that powerful of a testimony. That Irish guy has me crying.
This is a simple question of money. Paying billions of dollars is no trouble at all for the Catholic Church, so the very few cases of justice have not caused any pain or grievance to the Church hierarchies. The "product" of this organization, the sale of places in heaven, is almost as profitable while paying a few fines than when there are no fines. And when the priests get no punishment in civil or criminal courts, the rest is business as usual.
Where do they get all of that money, from fucking stupid people.
My mom did us a favor and quit the church before we were born. Thanks, mom.
When I was a teenage boy growing up in the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston I was never physically abused but they always told us that just thinking about sex was a mortal sin. But what teenager doesn't think about sex? This created a huge conflict within me as I struggled between my religious beliefs and my emerging natural urges. This conflict scarred me phytologically and it interfered with my ability to form normal loving relationships with women. And now I find out that these same people who were telling me that just thinking about sex was a sin were at the same time having illicit sexual relations with children. How despicable is that? It fills me with absolute rage.
God damn I wish Cristopher Hitchens was still around to speak on these matters.
He spoke on it for years. We're just now waking up and realizing how right he was.
Yes, I have listened to all of his conversations & debates that I can find. But we still need him today. That's why I miss his mind so much.
Welcome to the honesty of religion.
Man im so happy for youtube. I’m just now stumbling on your videos and they’re so good! You’re a knowledgeable guy and it shows. Thanks for the good content.
There should be no ability for the churches of all denominations to cover up these crimes. They should all be compelled to testify against these disgusting abusers. No excuses no cover ups!
Thank you
Great time to be alive with the internet. If you love real science, there is a plethora of information to learn about that is real, not religious pseudoscience
The man's speech at 7:20 brought me to tears; an increasingly rare experience for me as I age. The willful proliferation of these injustices, and the measures taken by the religious devout to conceal its depravity, are so disgusting it literally makes my skin crawl. And while the rational part of me accepts that I can't label all Catholics as immoral due to the actions of only a few, it does nevertheless demonstrate that their doctrine is a breeding ground for immoral thought.
It should be our imperative to expose the harm their doctrine fosters and be forever critical and relentless in our skepticism of their motives and actions.
