SNAP Q & A on Pope Francis and the abuse/cover up crisis

Inspired by St. Michael the Archangel whose flaming sword protects us and guide us on what to blog



Here’s an honest Question & Answer on Pope Francis and what he has done for victims -- from the group SNAP..


UNITED STATES
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
By David Clohessy, director of SNAP (davidgclohessy@gmail.com, 314 566 9790 cell, 314 645 5915 home)

Francis has done more about the abuse crisis than his predecessors. Isn't that encouraging?
First, we should judge church officials NOT by what their terrible predecessors did but by what responsible officials would do. It's little comfort to a girl who's been raped under Francis to say "Well, under Benedict, there might have been an even smaller chance of your predator being ousted."

Neither Benedict nor Francis has exposed a single child molesting cleric or really punished a single complicit church official. They've made lots of reassuring talk but taken little meaningful action.
But several bishops have been forced out because of abuse. Isn't that good news?

We don't think this is true. A tiny handful of bishops (Finn in Kansas City, Nienstedt and Piche in St. Paul) have resigned. Were they forced out? Who knows. Continued Vatican secrecy means that no one can be sure whether they were forced and if so, what the real reason or reasons might have been.

There's nothing new about bishops resigning, while keeping their titles and paychecks and honors. A pope firing bishops would be new. And it would deter wrongdoing. But it didn't happen under Benedict and it isn't happening under Francis.

What about the Paraguay bishop? Francis ousted him.

That's true. But within hours, the official papal spokesman said that this move was NOT because the bishop mishandled abuse. (Bishop Rogelio Ricardo Livieres Plano had promoted Fr. Carlos Urrutigoity, who has been described by bishops from Switzerland to Pennsylvania as 'dangerous,' 'abnormal,' and 'a serious threat to young people' and against whom a $400,000 settlement was paid.)

The bishop was ousted because he alienated his brother bishops, called them gay in public, etc.
(see:
SNAP)

But three US bishops accused of concealing abuse have resigned just this year. Isn't that progress?

Again, not a single one of the world's 5,100 bishops found the courage to say "Finn enabled abuse" or "Neinstedt endangered kids." That would have been progress.

Real progress will happen when 1) dozens of complicit bishops are openly defrocked, demoted or at least disciplined and denounced, and 2) Catholic officials say – clearly and publicly – that it's because they enabled or concealed child sex crimes.

We're glad these three aren't in office any more. Their resignations have temporarily made some Catholics and victims feel better. Their resignations, however, are not signs of reform. They are signs that these prelates are so clearly discredited that the Vatican had no choice but to let them step down.
What about the new papal commission?

Pete Saunders and Marie Collins are wonderful people. But this panel is based on a deceptive premise: that Vatican officials must "learn more" about abuse and cover up. They don't. They need courage, not information. They've dealt with this crisis for centuries in private and for decades in public. They know what to do.

This panel perpetuates the self-serving myth that Catholic officials need more information. What they need is courage. They usually refuse to do what's right because they are monarchs and like their power and the status quo more than anything else.

IL-- Victims urge parishioners to show compassion

ILLINOIS
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests

For immediate release: Friday, Sept. 4

Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (314 566 9790, davidgclohessy@gmail.com, SNAPclohessy@aol.com)
Every time parishioners rally around a credibly accused child molesting cleric, it’s sad, tiresome and hurtful, to vulnerable kids, wounded and ultimately to the parish itself.

That’s what’s happening now in Peoria with Fr. Terry Cassidy, who was suspended last month by Bishop Daniel Jenky because of an abuse report.

[Chillicothe Times-Bulletin]

It’s sad because it show how desperately people want to believe that a seemingly normal man can commit such heinous crimes. And it’s sad because it shows how little many church-goers have learned about child sex abuse in the 30 years since the first US pedophile priest attracted national headlines.

It’s tiresome because the same pattern emerges in case after case after case. Parishioners are “shocked.” Because the priest is good at this or that – homilies, service work, one-on-one counseling or boosting church membership – parishioners somehow can’t imagine that he can simultaneously be sick at some deep emotional level. Because congregants and church-goers desperately grasp for some “other explanation” (like the Episcopal minister who thinks Fr. Cassidy has been thrown “under the bus” because of some theological or liturgical dispute).

And it’s hurtful because public support for credibly accused abusers intimidates and depresses victims, witnesses and whistleblowers. It makes people less willing to report known and suspected child sex crimes. So it makes kids more vulnerable.

The bishop and parishioners are essentially playing 'good cop, bad cop.' The bishop suspended Fr. Cassidy. Yet at the same time, he lets parishioners publicly rally and back a credibly accused abuser.

The Nazis and the John Paul II Pedophiles Rapists-Priests Army were both an inherently evil all-male elite hierarchy born from the Devil's bowels



Many think Pope John Paul II is a saint,” says Jan Egesborn, satirical artist and founder of the Danish satirical group Surrend, “but he didn’t do anything about sex abuse of children by priests in the Roman Catholic church and this is why we think he belongs in hell.”

Egesborn says early responses from Poles who have seen his satirical webpage have been strong. “For Poles it is just as controversial as the Mohammed cartoon was for Muslims,” he said.

Danish cartoonist of Mohammed drew this cartoon of John Paul II holding up the back robes of altar boys to expose their butts to satiate his thousands of JP2 Army - John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army , read more here  http://jp2m.blogspot.ca/2007/10/john-paul-ii-portrait-by-danish-artist.html

Ex-Papal Nuncio Archbishop Wesolowski was really the embodiment of the Vatican crimes against humanity’s children in half-of-20th-century and the biggest proof of the JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army.  He was Polish and was personally ordained a bishop by John Paul II.  To the Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team, the Catholic reputation is the most important thing – like the political reputation of Ben Affleck in the movie “State of Play” -- that’s being mimicked by the upcoming movie, Spotlight – that will serve as Hollywood propaganda for Vatican. What else is new from Hollywood and the Vatican - the twin cities that “lie for a living”?

PopeCrimes& Vatican Evils.
December 10, 2014 International Human Rights Day
A picture speaks a thousand words. Here are images of the 2 evil Achilles Heels of John Paul II and George W. Bush, two contemporaries in the 21st century who covered-up – through religion – their own worst crimes against children and youth of America and the whole world.
The 2 Evil Achilles Heels of Satanas Saint John Paul II are Cardinal Bernard Law and priest Marcial Maciel, the serial pedophile, pederast, adulterous priest and poster boy of the JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army. Read the related links below for further explanations.
George W. Bush’s evil Achilles Heels are the Iraq War and the CIA Torture (newly revealed documents) which he condoned and ordered - in secret. John Paul II and George W. Bush were the epitome of covert operations that destroyed the lives of incalculable thousands of children (mostly boys) and young people (mostly young men). While John Paul II now sits in the highest altars of sainthood in all Catholic churches, and George W. Bush now sits painting portraits of past US presidents – meanwhile, thousands of young soldiers sit maimed and lamed from Bush’s Iraq War, and thousands of children are fatherless from lost young fathers who were soldiers in Bush’s (delusion) “War on Terror”, and countless children suffer a ‘living hell’ from the bestial JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army.


REBUTTAL to Jason Berry’s article ‘How Pope Francis Became the World’s BFF’. WTF. Francis is Perpetuator of the 1% Richest Persons on earth!

POPE FRANCIS the CON-Christ.

December 31, 2014 Happy New Year to all our friends and readers !
Jason Berry statement in his recent article, ‘How Pope Francis Became the World’s BFF’ — “the church’s reversal under Francis is a striking media narrative. [He] has a mild demeanor and soft speaking style; but his rhetoric is electrifying” — is misleading idiots Catholics. It is sugar coating Pope Francis the papal schizophrenic – because the fact is -- there is no church’s reversal for the countless millions of Catholics worldwide who have abandoned the Roman Catholic Church -- not even those Catholics in Rome - a few feet away from the Vatican Palace. According to a Pew Research Center poll earlier this year — despite the pope's popularity, it has not drawn more people, or those who have left the church, back to Mass or the sacraments in measurable numbers. Alas, there is no church’s reversal under Francis for the hundreds of churches shutting down and being sold as prime real estate in Europe and in the USA, especially in New York.
