From the NewYorkTimes:
“A bishop in the Roman Catholic Church has been indicted for failure to report suspected child abuse, the first time in the 25-year history of the church’s sex abuse scandals that the leader of an American diocese has been held criminally liable for the behavior of a priest he supervised.”
Now comes Christopher Jarvis, paid by the Roman Catholic Church to monitor priests for paedophilia.
Police found more than 4,000 child porn images on his home computer and work laptop. He uploaded pictures of children being abused to a website.
It’s one thing for priests to use children to sexually pleasure themselves but it is something else entirely that they use donations for concealment and defense.
Every Sunday Roman Catholics turn a blind eye to this and reach into their wallets as they are told, but there’s a clear choice to be made here: either you are underwriting this nightmare or you refuse.
There is no grey in child abuse.
With all that we know, continuing to fund the Roman Catholic church for good work elsewhere is like praising Adolph Hitler for unifying German patriotism and making the trains run on time.
Will Roman Catholics ever grow sick of funding this destructive hypocrisy?

Don’t hold your breath, a good legal defense is expensive and the Church is counting on this. Finn and Jarvis certainly are.
