Generalize?
You just generalized away all of the damming evidence that the Catholic Church has collected since the 4th century!

Have you read the news for the last 40 years about this world wide
Catholic Church pedophile scandal?
Or do you think the raping of children is a matter of interpretation?
Is the church hierarchy incappable of learning?
This is going on today in LA! The exact same things that has gone on world wide. In case, Boston in the 1990.

Pope promotes laws to protect pedophile priests: L.A. Catholic Church Scandal

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - Archdiocese of Los Angeles - the largest archdiocese in the United States - boasting over 5 million members in a 120 city area - has just been ordered by the courts to release 12,000 documents that prove paedophilia in the Catholic Church and the cover up of abusive priests. But this archdiocese, being merely a branch of the worldwide company known as the "Catholic Church" and its famous World Headquarters in Rome , why is the President, the Leader of this global organization, not being questioned? After all, it is the VERY POPE himself who has implemented a worldwide law to cover up pedophilia. Let's look at the facts:
- In May 18, 2001 then-Cardinal JOSEPH RATZINGER, director of the office that oversees the catholic DOCTRINE (Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, formerly INQUISITION) at that time, sent an official Vatican letter to ALL CARDINALS, entitled "De Delictis Gravoribus" [Meaning: "On more serious crimes"].This document dealt with official Vatican procedures for all bishops to follow in dealing with clerical sex abuse cases.
- As a footnote, he indicated: TOP SECRET 1962 Vatican Document,"Crimens Sollicitiationis"
- According to Ratzinger's letter, the roles "of judge, promoter of justice, notary and legal representative can validly be performed for these cases only by priests." In other words, criminals investigating criminals.
- In 2005, Joseph Ratzinger - the current "Pope", was accused of OBSTRUCTING THE LAW to cover-up the sexual abuse of 3 minors in the Court of Houston, Texas because the Official letter he sent in 2001 implies that all reports, documents, etc. on sexual abuses must be sent to the Vatican and dealt with internally. That's the Official Vatican procedure. (Priest reports to bishop, bishop reports to Cardinal, Cardinal reports to Vatican Ambassador [Nuncio] and Nuncio to the Pope)
So, what ever happened to abiding by the local country's laws? Why when it comes to priests aren't the local authorities part?
- Later, in 2005 Joseph Ratzinger was elected Pope and asked then-President George W. Bush for immunity against the legal suit in Houston, now that he became President of the country known as "The Holy See (Vatican)". Immunity was granted.
So, in regards to the Los Angeles Catholic Church scandal that surfaced this month, the bottom line is: Why aren't The Vatican's embassies in the U.S. being shut down? How come USA is still "Friends" with The Holy See when it's President, Pope Benedict XVI, promotes laws in which child abusive priests are to be protected
?

Irish Panel on Abuse Cites Failures by Church By DOUGLAS DALBY
DUBLIN — Authorities in the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland were slow or did nothing to notify civil authorities and the Vatican of hundreds of allegations of clerical child sexual abuse over several decades, according to independent audits of six dioceses published simultaneously on Wednesday.
The church-sponsored National Board for Safeguarding Children in the Catholic Church in Ireland found allegations of widespread abuse in every diocese it investigated, saying that 85 priests in the six dioceses had been accused of 164 sexual assaults on children since 1975, but that only 8 were convicted. Of the 41 still alive, 30 no longer serve as priests.
Many victims, police investigators and advocates dismissed the report as another whitewash by the church. One victim, Martin Gallagher, said on RTE, the national broadcaster, that it was not “worth the paper it’s written on.”
The audits cover the Archdiocese of Tuam and the Dioceses of Raphoe, Derry, Dromore, Kilmore, and Ardagh and Clonmacnois. Most attention focused on the northwestern rural Diocese of Raphoe, where a notorious pedophile priest, the Rev. Eugene Greene, was based.
Father Greene was allowed to serve in eight parishes during 25 years of abuse he inflicted on children. In 2000, he was sentenced to 12 years in prison after pleading guilty to 41 charges of sexual assault against 26 victims from 1962 to 1985. He was released in 2008.
In the case of Raphoe, the church panel concluded that successive bishops — including the present one, Bishop Philip Boyce — had displayed “significant errors of judgment.”
“Too much emphasis was placed on the situation of the accused priest and too little on the needs of their complainants,” the report found. “Judgments were clouded, due to the presenting problem being for example, alcohol abuse and an inability to hear the concerns about abuse of children, through that presenting problem. More attention should have been given to ensuring that preventative actions were taken quickly when concerns came to light.”
In a written statement issued after the publication of the audit, Bishop Boyce acknowledged “very poor judgments and mistakes” and apologized for them.
“There were horrific acts of abuse of children by individual priests that should never have happened, and if suspected should have been dealt with immediately in the appropriate manner,” he said. “Insufficient emphasis was placed on the needs of victims, often in the misguided attempt to protect the reputation of the church.”
Although the board, under the stewardship of its chief executive, Ian Elliott, concluded that all of the dioceses concerned were now carrying out stringent child protection measures, the audits have been criticized for failing to specify the past errors referenced in the reports and, in large part, those responsible for them.
For instance, the audits failed to uncover any documents in diocesan files pertaining to Father Greene, something that Bishop Boyce described as “incredible.”
“It is hard to credit that no word was passed on to the authorities, and it was probably the culture of the time that people didn’t speak to anyone,” he said.
A former police detective who investigated Father Greene rejected this explanation and described the Raphoe report as “a whitewash and an insult to victims.”
The former detective, Martin Ridge, was quoted in The Donegal Democrat, a local newspaper, as saying, “What we witnessed in west Donegal was just carnage that you wouldn’t ascribe to any civilized society.”
Maeve Lewis, executive director of a victims’ advocacy group, One in Four, welcomed the audits’ findings of significant progress in “putting in place child protection measures in the six dioceses.” But she remained concerned about “the number of priests against whom allegations have been made who are still in ministry.”
The Catholic Church in Ireland has been devastated in recent years after reports detailed decades of clerical sexual abuse of children.
