Object: Turns Out Sinead O'Connor Was Right to Rip on the Pope
Way ahead of her time, eh? Remember, she did this in 1992, 10 years
before the depth of RCC sexual depravity was known.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sin%C3%A9ad_O%27Connor
She was singing an a cappella version of Bob Marley's "War" to protest
sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church [1], and added a lyric about
"sexual abuse." She then presented a photo of Pope John Paul II to the
camera and, saying "fight the real enemy," tore it.

The fish rots ffrom the head up. The RCC sex abuse was so pervasive on
such a massive scale that either JPII was playing cover up or he was
woefully incompetent. Either way he is not blameless.

No worse than a defending an organization with a known track record of
pederasty.

From your statement one must infer that you've never served in the
military and therefore the concept of the guy at the top carries the
responsibility when things get FUBAR. The pope is head guy it's on his
shoulders to make sure that his people don't abuse his followers.

Is that why she is no long with the RCC but with another Christian
group?

Her "girly" opinion that sex abuse is wrong is better than the RCC
opinion that sex abuse is okay.

Exactly!

So your brother is accused of a bank robbery.
However no one is pressing any legal charges, so you say "best out of that
situation. Come to my house a while and keep your head down".
Twenty years later it transpires that the brother was guilty, and stole a
thousand dollars. However the bank clerk he held up at gunpoint is so
traumatised by the ordeal that he needs two million dollars in damages. The
borther doesn't have that sort of money, so the authorities demand that your
house is sold, and then that your cousin's house is also sold, to pay the
bill.
You've still got a little money left. So they change the law to allow the
brother to be prosecuted for more crimes he did as a juvenile, and sue you
for the remainder.

Certainly much more so than Sinead intended.
There is ample evidence that the catholic church, under John Paul,
tolerated and covered up pedophilic sex crimes. And did little enough
about it even after the problem was, or should have been, well
recognized at the highest levels of the Vatican.

No, but the top-down policy on priests who commited sexually abusive
acts was to cover-up, not let the authorities know what was happening,
and move the priest to a new assignment.. not necessarily one that
prevented contact with children.

You are being much too literal again, chris.
The question is NOT whether PJP II ever committed sexual abuse himself
but whether he was complicit - either intentionally or by neglect - in
such conduct by others.
Hitler never killed a single Jew but he was certainly complicit in their
deaths. Similarly, PJP II himself may never have sexually abused anyone
but that would not prevent him from being complicit in sexual abuse
committed by others if he neglected to take reasonable measures to
prevent that from occuring.

If Yamashita could be hanged for failure to control his troops, certainly
PJP II can have his photo ripped for his failure to control his.

Clearly, since that's what happened. But why not take on the actual
pedophiles?

Because there are two separate problems.
The first problem is pedophiles in the clergy. That's not good but it's
pretty much inevitable. Any reasonably large organization - the church,
the boy scouts, hell, General Motors, is inevitiably going to have some
of those among its ranks. The church (or the boy scouts or General
Motors) is not necessarily responsible for that.
But the larger problem is when the organization covers up, protects, and
excuses that sort of behavior and retains such persons not only in the
organization but in positions where they can easily re-offend.
The church (and by extension, the Pope) did little or nothing to deal
with identified and known pedophile priests save to transfer them to
other parishes where they might find a whole new group of victims.
Certainly the Pope had the authority, ability, and power to prevent such
a thing. He did not.
And for that, ripping up a photograph seems a mild enough rebuke.
Peace and justice,

So you're saying Hitler was merely "negligent"? Must you reduce Hitler's
crime to mere negligence in order to sustain the false analogy?
Negligence does not amount to complicity. That's just an accusation.
Negligence means you should have been looking out but you weren't - doesn't
mean you gave it the green light, or were even aware that anything was
wrong.

The church (and by extension, the Pope)

The current Pope? What Pope?

Ahhh but they did. They used the modern method and turned them over to
psychiatrists. The psychiatrists then said they were OK and they were wrong.
That's what happened with the bulk of the offenders who were put into
"treatment".

prevent him from being complicit in sexual abuse committed by others if he
neglected to take reasonable measures to prevent that from occuring.


So you're saying Hitler was merely "negligent"? Must you reduce Hitler's
crime to mere negligence in order to sustain the false analogy?

Are you saying the pope was negligent? I thought the Vatican's view was
that the pope was infallible.


Negligence does not amount to complicity. That's just an accusation.
Negligence means you should have been looking out but you weren't - doesn't
mean you gave it the green light, or were even aware that anything was
wrong.

errrr what were the Bishops and Cardinals doing shuffling their
pedophiles around then? There are times when the honorable thing to do
is for the head of a corrupt organization to resign and put a stronger
leader in place to sort it out, not carry on as a dithering old wreck
who doesn't even know what day it is.


The church (and by extension, the Pope)


The current Pope? What Pope?

The last 50 years for sure


did little or nothing to deal with identified and known pedophile priests
save to transfer them to other parishes where they might find a whole new
group of victims.


Ahhh but they did. They used the modern method and turned them over to
psychiatrists.

***** you lying *****! Abuse of kids is well documented for at least
50 years. You lying sack of camel dung.

The psychiatrists then said they were OK and they were wrong.
That's what happened with the bulk of the offenders who were put into
"treatment".

Yeah right, and there are NO documented cases of priests being shuffled
from town to town ahead of the flack? You conniving *****.

There's no evidence that Hitler ever killed a single Jew, either.


Did the Pope order his Panzer divisions to invade sovereign nations? Did
he order his U-boat crews to fire on merchant marine fleets?
Check me on this.


You are being much too literal again, chris.

The question is NOT whether PJP II ever committed sexual abuse himself
but whether he was complicit - either intentionally or by neglect - in
such conduct by others.

Hitler never killed a single Jew but he was certainly complicit in their
deaths. Similarly, PJP II himself may never have sexually abused anyone
but that would not prevent him from being complicit in sexual abuse
committed by others if he neglected to take reasonable measures to
prevent that from occuring.

If Yamashita could be hanged for failure to control his troops, certainly
PJP II can have his photo ripped for his failure to control his.


Clearly, since that's what happened. But why not take on the actual
pedophiles?


Because there are two separate problems.

The first problem is pedophiles in the clergy. That's not good but it's
pretty much inevitable. Any reasonably large organization - the church,
the boy scouts, hell, General Motors, is inevitiably going to have some
of those among its ranks. The church (or the boy scouts or General
Motors) is not necessarily responsible for that.

But the larger problem is when the organization covers up, protects, and
excuses that sort of behavior and retains such persons not only in the
organization but in positions where they can easily re-offend.

The church (and by extension, the Pope) did little or nothing to deal
with identified and known pedophile priests save to transfer them to
other parishes where they might find a whole new group of victims.

Certainly the Pope had the authority, ability, and power to prevent such
a thing. He did not.

And for that, ripping up a photograph seems a mild enough rebuke.

Peace and justice,

Right! If Pope JP II had responded differently to the revelation of
wide-spread sexual abuse, he would get more sympathy and consideration
now. Instead of receiving a wake-up call that the church had serious
institutional problems, the Catholic church went into a cover-up mode
worthy of Richard Nixon.

camera and, saying "fight the real enemy," tore it.

Accusing somebody of sex crimes on live national television, without proof,
is never a good idea.


You are being entirely too literal chris.

Certainly much more so than Sinead intended.

There is ample evidence that the catholic church, under John Paul,
tolerated and covered up pedophilic sex crimes. And did little enough
about it even after the problem was, or should have been, well
recognized at the highest levels of the Vatican.

And the Poop's reaction was concern about minimizing the drop in
revenues.

If Yamashita could be hanged for failure to control his troops,
certainly PJP II can have his photo ripped for his failure to control his.

Peace and justice,

Is not the Christian and Muslim superstition's way.

Hitler never "toured" a concentration camp. Or even visited one.
Nor is there any evidence that he ordered their construction.
Which is not to exculpate him or denegrate his role in the holocaust.
His role was more that of Henry II in the murder of Thomas Beckett -
"will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?"
He left no doubt as to his wishes in the matter (to be rid of these
accursed Jews - somehow, someway, he didn't much care how) and his
toadies were more than happy to take it from there to its logical
conclusion.
But he, himself, distanced himself quite well from the entire
undertaking and didn't leave many fingerprints.

Tell me, did the Pope tour child molestation camps?

Apparently so. His first US visit was to the Boston Archdiocese.
Which turns out to have been one of the worst offenders.
