aviv_b_artworkBy now, I'm sure you've heard that the leaders of the Catholic Church have taken the position that the priest pedophile scandal is really a 'homosexual' scandal rather than child abuse. Since they claim that most of the victims were past puberty, then no child molestation took place. And besides, its the kids' faults
Uh..No...FAIL! Sexual orientation has nothing to do with this and regardless of their age or sexual maturity the children are victims. That hasn't played out too well for church officials so now they resort to the classic fall back position.
THE JEWS DID IT!
That's right your friendly neighborhood Jew set the whole thing up. Taking off time from our world-wide conspiracy of controlling the banks and the stock markets, pausing from using the blood of Christian babies to bake matzoh, we Jews have managed to get these men to molest children. We made them do it!
We are multi-tasking mavens, aren't we?
From the Salon Blog: http://open.salon.com/blog/judy_mandelbaum/2010/04/12/chutzpah_bishop_blames_the_jews_for_pedophile_scandal
Retired Bishop Giacomo Babini of the Italian town of Grosseto told the Catholic Pontifex website that the Catholic pedophile scandal is being orchestrated by the “eternal enemies of Catholicism, namely the freemasons and the Jews, whose mutual entanglements are not always easy to see through. … I think that it is primarily a Zionist attack, in view of its power and refinement. They do not want the church, they are its natural enemies. Deep down, historically speaking, the Jews are God-killers.”
But wait there's more:
“The Holocaust was a disgrace for all of humanity,” the good bishop told the world, “but now we have to look at it without rhetoric and with open eyes. Don’t believe that Hitler was merely crazy. The truth is that the Nazis’ criminal fury was provoked by the Jews’ economic embezzlement, by which they choked the German economy.” He concluded that the Jews’ “guilt is graver than what Christ predicted would happen to them, saying ‘do not cry for me, but for your own children.’”
Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. What next? Really, who are you going to target next? The Muslims? The Atheists? The Tooth Fairy?
Enough is enough! It's time for you all to put your big-boy pants on and take responsibility for your actions. For the child molestations, for the hiding of the molestations, for your failure to act to defrock child-molesting members of your clergy, for the continuing demonization of the victims, and for your out and out bigotry against gays, Jews and whoever else you decide is a convenient target.

Date: 2010-04-13 06:39 pm (UTC)Over here some church guy from Bavaria blamed the Sexual Revolution for getting all those priests so hot and bothered, they just couldn't help themselves. But he still didn't want to rethink the whole celibacy issue.
Personally I agree with you that teh Catholic Church should stop graping for excuses, own up the things that obviously went wrong in the organization and make the neccessary changes. Honestly, how hard can it be, if they redirect all the brainpower dedicated to this nonsense and actually get to work?

I have no doubt that they will survive this crisis, but I am increasingly doubtful whether they will survive with the respect of many Catholics and non-Catholics intact.
I was upset when the anger over the scandal was compared to the Holocaust, but this is just unacceptable.

If the Catholic Church came out and said "we are sorry, we made mistakes and we are working on a solution", people would be a lot more sympathetic. Instead they blame everyone who seems like an easy scapegoat and then jump to the next when called on it. So senseless and counterproductive. *shakes head*
