Letter shows Pope Paul VI knew of child abuse decades ago

( The Catholic Church is an organized group of pedophiles, and has been for who know how many centuries - since Peter? )

Further revelations of the Vatican's inaction to address pedophilia may tarnish not only Pope Benedict's reputation, but that of Pope Paul VI.

According to a newly released letter, Pope Paul VI and the Vatican knew about clergy abuse of children almost 50 years ago.

The 1963 letter is from the head of a Roman Catholic order dedicated to the treatment of priests who had committed pedophilia. In it, he tells Pope Paul that he recommends removing the priests from active ministry.

The letter was released in Los Angeles by attorneys for California clergy abuse victims who obtained the document during litigation.

It summarizes the Rev. Gerald M.C. Fitzgerald's thoughts on problem priests and appears to have been requested by Pope Paul after Fitzgerald's 1963 visit to the Vatican.
