I didn't see the news a week ago about the Grand Jury Report confirming details (albeit with some redactions) about over 300 priests, clergy and lay teachers who have allegations against them for child abuse. A link to an article about this is included below.
The following Irish Central article discusses the apology due to Sinead O'Connor who caused a worldwide reaction when she tore up a picture of the then Pope on Saturday Night Live in October 1992 and declared, “Fight the real enemy.”
We now know that the pedophile scandals were rampant during the era of Pope John Paul, who chose to turn a blind eye. O’Connor was justified in her declaration that the Catholic Church was rotten to its core and pedophile priests and their enablers were the enemy.
The horrors of the crimes against children and mothers perpetrated by the Catholic Church over many decades is disturbing.
I haven't heard of any 'alt-right', white supremacist or similar groups kicking up a storm about the Catholic paedophiles, which they would have been quick to do if these were followers of the Islamic faith, rather than Christianity.
It is time the Catholic Church faced up to what they allowed to happen, the cover-ups, the transfer of paedophile priests to new dioceses. They showed no regard for the victims of these crimes and didn't even take steps to prevent these despicable abusers continuing to ruin lives. Instead, they moved them into new positions of trust and provided them with a new flock to fleece for their perverted pleasures.
