  Pope seeks immunity over sex abuse suit (The Associated Press, The Sydney Morning Herald) 17 Aug 2005 Lawyers for Pope Benedict XVI asked US President George W. Bush to declare the pontiff immune from liability in a lawsuit that accuses him of conspiring to cover up the molestation of three boys by a seminarian in Texas, court records show. 

  Pope 'led cover-up of child abuse by priests' (London Evening Standard) 30 Sep 2006 The Pope played a leading role in systematic cover-up of child sex abuse by Roman Catholic priests, according to a shocking documentary screened by BBC. In 2001, he issued a secret Vatican edict to bishops worldwide, instructing them to put the Church's interests ahead of child safety. He recommended that rather than reporting sexual abuse to the relevant legal authorities, bishops should threaten the victims and witnesses if they repeat the allegations with excommunication to keep them quiet.

  below is another of the many earlier atrocities committed .............

   

  The Truth Commission into Genocide in Canada reveals the systematic rape, torture and murder of tens of thousands of Aboriginal children in church-run residential schools. According to its Secretary, Kevin Annett, a former United Church of Canada minister until fired and expelled for exposing these ugly truths:

   

  "The government and the multinational corporations wanted the Indian land, and so native children from as young as three years old were forcibly taken from their families and sent to residential schools (including Catholic ones), where they underwent 'acculturation' programs. Between 50,000 to 100,000 ended up dead, murdered by the church.''

  
  

  
  

  NOW BACK TO THE POPE..............

  
  

  200 boys at Milwaukee's St. John School for the Deaf reported decades of Father Lawrence C. Murphy's abuse. They told other priests and three archbishops of Milwaukee. They told two police departments and the district attorney. They used sign language, written affidavits and graphic gestures to show what exactly (he) did to them. 

   

  Then Cardinal Ratzinger got letters about him in 1996 from Milwaukee's Archbishop Rembert G. Weakland, saying the deaf community needed a response from the Church. He did nothing and Father Murphy died in 1998, he died a priest instead of in prison where felons are sent.

  
  

  
  

  MORE COVER-UPS...........

  
  

  Ratzinger also introduced a new Exclusive Competence principle, ordering all child abuse allegations handled by Rome. Former Vatican lawyer Father Tom Doyle explained it saying:

   

  "What you have here is an explicit written policy to cover up cases of child sexual abuse by the clergy and to punish those who would call attention to these crimes by the churchmen. When abusive priests are discovered, the response has been not to investigate and prosecute but to move them from one place to another. So there's total disregard for the victims and for the fact that you are going to have a whole new crop of (them) in the next place. This is happening all over the world."
