Yet ANOTHER Catholic abuse settlement....

What to know about the Los Angeles Catholic Church $880M settlement with sexual abuse victims | AP News

I was raised in the Anglican Church (i.e.church of England but in Canada - kinda like Catholics but we do not do confession and we are OK with divorce and adultery)

Since the late 70's early 80's everyone knew there were abuses in the Catholic-run Mount Cashel Orphanage in St. John's, Newfoundland, but the RCMP and the Local police kept handing it back to the local bishop to deal with.  Of course we all know that did not work, and in the early-mid 80's it all started to fall like dominoes across the country.

I moved to the USA in the 90's and the Boston diocese (and MANY others) were STILL denying that there was a problem - well we all know how that turned out.

And here we are 40+ years later and still creating settlements, which tells me nothing other than the Catholic church has NEVER dealt with this and is STILL hiding/burying/fighting the reality of the evil that they have done for most likely, centuries.

How anyone in the world is still a catholic is beyond me.  How this organization is allowed to exist is also beyond me.  Fer fuck's sake, we made Trump shut down his foundation when he admitted to stealing millions of dollars from it, but we cannot do something like that for an organization that systematically raped children for decades?  And then lied about it?  And then hid it?  And then fought it?  and still is trying to fight it?

Fuck those people, they can all die slowly from rectal cancer for all I care.  It is one of the largest reasons that I despise religion and am an atheist.

Not only that but most nations recognize this crime organization as a nation and send ambassadors to the Vatican. It’s power is still immense in the western world.

Hi tk,

Yes ^^^^^

But, at least they did not file bankruptcy like so many Catholic organizations have done.
