Can there be any doubt that the Roman Catholic Church
is the world's oldest and largest ongoing criminal
conspiracy?
Instead of being motivated by money or power, however,
it is motivated by the desire of its twisted leaders
and employees to use the world's children as sexual
playthings.
This is not new. It's been going on for centuries.
The Church harbours not only pedophile priests,
but pedophile nuns, as well as pedophile choir
masters, bishops, archbishops and popes.
The entire organization is as rotten as a fish in
a landfill and stinks as bad.
How many stories of outrages committed against
children by these pious perverts will the world
tolerate before it says enough, and shuts down
this evil cabal for good?
Meantime, the authorities should regard the fact
that a child has been left in the "care" of any
Catholic church or organization as prima facie
evidence of neglect, and react appropriately.
Is there any doubt that child-protection officials
would intervene if a parent were to habitually leave a
child alone with, say, a couple of pit bulls? Are
children left alone with the predators of the Catholic
Church in any less danger?

Lawsuit Claims Abuse by Nuns at School for Deaf
By The Associated Press
May 11, 2004
BOSTON - Nine former students of the Boston School for the Deaf filed
a lawsuit Tuesday alleging they were raped and beaten by nuns at the
now-defunct school.
The plaintiffs accused at least 13 nuns in the lawsuit, along with a
priest and a male athletic instructor at the school and a former top
official in the Boston Roman Catholic Archdiocese, according to their
attorney, Mitchell Garabedian.
The alleged victims, three women and six men, were between the ages of
7 and 16 when, they claim, they were sexually and physically abused
between 1944 and 1977. The Boston School for the Deaf, in Randolph,
was run by an independent, nonprofit corporation until it closed more
than a decade ago.
"They are all speech-impaired and hearing-impaired," said Garabedian,
who represents a total of 31 former students at the school and expects
to file more lawsuits. "Instead of receiving an education they
received beatings and sexually abusive actions."
Garabedian said the abuse included fondling, rape, and rape with
foreign objects. At least one student's head was submerged, face-first
in a toilet until she passed out; others were locked in closets for
hours as a form of punishment. The alleged victims are now 41 to 67
years old.
"The physical abuse is extremely disturbing," said Garabedian, who has
represented hundreds of people who filed lawsuits alleging sexual
abuse by priests.
The nuns named in the lawsuit are from the Congregation of the Sisters
of St. Joseph of Boston. The case is the first to allege widespread
abuse by nuns in the Boston area since the clergy sex abuse scandal
began in Boston in early 2002.
The 100-page complaint filed in Suffolk Superior Court cited 13 nuns
by name and said other plaintiffs, including at least one other nun,
were unidentified. Some of the plaintiffs were accused of
participating in the abuse; others, like Bishop Thomas V. Daily, who
held several top posts in the Boston Archdiocese, were named for
alleged negligence in failing to supervise the others.
William Shaevel, an attorney for the school, said he had not yet seen
the lawsuit or received details of the allegations.
"We've asked for but have not received any of the specifics, so we
have not been able to conduct our own investigation," he said. "Our
guiding principle here will be to conduct our investigation and deal
with this with sensitivity, respect and dignity."
The Rev. Christopher Coyne, spokesman for the Boston Archdiocese, did
not immediately return a message seeking comment.
Boston was the epicenter of the clergy sex abuse scandal in the
Catholic Church. Cardinal Bernard Law (search) resigned in December
2002 amid criticism of his handling of the crisis, and the archdiocese
reached an $85 million settlement last year with more than 550 people
who said they were abused by priests.
