"The church has never lifted a finger to stop their paedophile priests," added Foster, who said one of her daughters had ultimately taken her own life." [Australian Catholic Church admits child abuse]. The number of child abuse cases in the state of Victoria and admitted by the Catholic Church is 620, but "campaigners say the true figure could be up to 10,000 victims." These cases go back 80 years.
"It estimated that one in 10 Dutch Catholic children suffered some form of abuse since 1945, including rape. That figure doubles to one in five children for those who were in the care of Catholic institutions such as orphanages, boarding schools and seminaries." [Dutch inquiry highlights Catholic child abuse].
One wonders how the Catholic Church explains child abuse by priests to their parishioners, but more likely they don't ask for an explanation? Yet I wonder too how many Catholic parishioners will rail against child labor in China? Why does any clergy - Catholic or otherwise - seem to get a free pass at child abuse?
It is true that criminal statutes place a time restriction on prosecution, but that could be changed by the legislators. That just won't happen - will it. But it cannot be denied that pedophiles are a cancer on society and they need to be eradicated - humanely of course.
