Bishop Robert Finn, bishop of the Catholic Dioceses of Kansas City -St.
Joseph
Bishop Finn is saying he is not guilty of failing to alert
police in a timely manner about a priest with pornographic images on his
computer. Given the huge problems the Catholic Church has had with pedophile priests
and their sexual abuse of countless of innocent children for decades, one would
think that the Church would be extra sensitive to “any” evidence of priestly
sexual perversion as a means of stopping any present or even future abuse…but
that does not seem like something the Church is encouraging and is basically
doing what the Church has always done; covering up!
Maybe throwing a couple of bishops and Archbishops in jail
might make the Church finally face the problem it has and do something about
it…if for no reason but to protect children.
I am puzzled though by the lack of reaction by regular
Catholics to what must be termed as the greatest crime against humanity ever
perpetrated by the Catholic Church but I may be wrong about the term greatest
since there are many other cases that can claim that title.
It seems some Catholics also are pretending that the crime
never happened and is somehow made-up by the media or by people that want to
sue the Church to get some money; in essence saying that the Church is innocent
and cannot be guilty because after all, the Church is the representative of
Jesus here on earth.
The Catholic Church is counting on the blindness and
ignorance of its members to continue to operate as if nothing has happened, no
children molested, no cover-up, just holiness.
And that is unfortunate…churches should be empty like they
are in Ireland with no money coming in and good priests rebelling against the
Vatican and its complicity in the crimes against children…there should be
outrage and yet there is nothing but the same ole’ sheep, blinded by their
faith and therefore complicit also for allowing the crimes against humanity to
continue…
