LTRJ Note: Children are particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse and molestation by people who are in some type of authority and trust in their lives. Make sure your church is a safe place for all children who attend. Detective sergeant Patrick Crough, author of Seducers Among Our Children, has given his life to defend children and fight against child exploitation.

Bishops and other leaders of the Roman Catholic Church in Pennsylvania covered up child sexual abuse by more than 300 priests over a period of 70 years, persuading victims not to report the abuse and law enforcement not to investigate it, according to a searing report issued by a grand jury on Tuesday. . . .
It catalogs horrific instances of abuse: a priest who raped a young girl in the hospital after she had her tonsils out; a victim tied up and whipped with leather straps by a priest; and another priest who was allowed to stay in ministry after impregnating a young girl and arranging for her to have an abortion.

Our God remains the same, He is immutable. His Holy nature wrote the Law of Moses. Look at this a righteous principle for all time for all people. Lev. 5:1 When anyone covers up a sin God imputes the guilt of that sin upon them. Every Catholic that covered up the sin of molestation is therefore guilty, in God’s eyes, of the sin of molestation. 1 John 1:9 is a confession straight to God through Christ alone, not through a fallen human mediator.
This horrific abuse by R.C. priests has been going on for hundreds of yrs., and this church has always covered up these abuses and crimes. Even now the Pope refuses to follow the guidelines that were formed by a special task force on abuse by priests. Victims are finding no help from the Vatican. This abuse started when the R.C. church insisted that the priests not marry. The first R.C. priests were allowed to marry. As long as priests are forbidden to marry this abuse will continue. These priests need to go to jail. We need to protect our children and young adults from these predators. As a result of R.C. policies many lives are ruined or lost (suicide). My heart goes out to the victims!
