   Thanks Leona for the heads up on the U.N. “event”…

   …a bleep on the “U.N. grilling” of Vatican reps…..on the CBC a few minutes ago: The 1990 protocol for the protection of children, only one report published by the Vatican in 1994! Their explanation for this “commitment”(lack of!): the Vatican is only (((((responsible for the “31” children who live on the grounds of the Vatican!))))
   Wow! They always have the exit door handle firmly in hand….they are only responsible for the “#!%$#@( 31) 31……!31….!31…..!@#$%#$%”……children in the Vatican. The rest are on their own because they are “not responsible”!!!
   If that isn’t a quick kit in the Faith!…
   Need we hear more of these convoluted excuses, for ever and ever!?….
   God knows I try, many keep trying, but the so called explanations are just another detour, another denial, another loop hole filled with excuses hidden under just as many lies.
   I must have slipped and landed in the twilight zone….Un real!

   Catholics funded 2019 Elton John biopic “Rocketman” via Vatican investment fund. Pope’s own charitable fund for the poor funded movie that contains “the most explicit gay love scene since ‘Brokeback Mountain’ in 2005.”

   The Holy See is being sued for it’s negligence in one of the McCarrick cases.
   Read the brief for the case here:
   https://www.andersonadvocates.com/Documents/posts/John%20Bellocchio%20v.%20Vatican%20Complaint%2012-09-19.pdf

   As per Doe v. Holy See, the Holy See can be sued for negligence because there exists an exception to sovereign state immunity which does not shield a state from international private torts actions. Doe v. Holy See established that the Roman Catholic Church was analogous to a trans-national corporation involved in an economic activity. Far from turning the other cheek, the Holy See fought for it’s immunity from prosecution, spent millions for a decade on it’s refusal to be held liable for the negligence of it’s Bishops; all the way to SCOTUS which declined to hear it’s appeal.

   It is pointless, even tedious, for Christians to waste their time complaining about the world, about society, about everything that is not right. Complaints change nothing. Pope Francis Homely June 29th 2020 http://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/homilies/2020/documents/papa-francesco_20200629_omelia-pallio.html

   Let there be absolutely no mistake about it: Catholics are encouraged by their highest authority to do nothing about injustice; including clerical abuse. There`s no point attempting to stop it preached the Pope Monday. Let this evil be. Let political leaders murder their citizens. Let religious leaders wage wars. Let members of religious orders sodomize little children and let their Superiors cover-up for them.

   Affidavits of this homely are being produced in every jurisdiction worldwide and it will be submitted as evidence in future cases against the Church.

   To victims of clerical abuse I say it again: there is no point in listening to and/or talking to Bishops and/or Superiors of religious orders. Go to the police directly. Roman Catholic Bishops and Superiors of religious orders have received their orders to ignore injustices. All they’ll do is prey for you.

    Unbelievable!!! Frankie had me fooled when he first became pope but the more I read, the more I’m disgusted with him. I totally agree that going to the police is the way to go instead of going to church officials. When I first came forward, I went to the police…then went to our parish priest who then dismissed me and then complained about people who were “attacking” the church.

    He fooled many. But he is an Evita Perón devotee (the Catholic Goddess of Argentina; who`s official title was Spiritual Leader of the Nation); and a loyal perónista. Bergoglio always supported Argentina’s dictatorial rulers. His political ascent in the hierarchy was astutely executed. He only opposes clerical abuse for the record as that is a function of his position. Power being derived from the perversion of the truth; those who seek and obtain it must also lie to keep it in their possession.

    First, they said they didn’t know that clerical abuse was wrong. But they wouldn’t have covered it up had it been right, eh Phil? Then they said they knew it was wrong because their cover-up exposed them as charity scammers. Now they are saying they are not charity scammers because they are no longer interested in hearing complaints about injustices, including clerical abuse, which is wrong, but hey, suck it up and prey.

    And yet another example of the poison being spread by some collars in that church!

    Indiana priest suspended after calling Black Lives Matter and antifa protesters ‘maggots,’ ‘parasites’ and ‘serpents in the garden’.
    https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/02/us/indiana-priest-suspended-trnd/index.html

    And what does the diocese say they will do with this collar??? In its statement announcing Rothrock’s suspension, the diocese said Rothrock will be reassigned.
    “Various possibilities for his public continuation in priestly ministry are being considered,” the statement read.

      In fairness to Father Rothrock, he hadn`t received the new papal directives to not complain about the world and prey for his enemies. So he didn`t do anything wrong; on both counts. The ‘ol so Catholic charity scam which consisted of lying publicly about forgiving those who trespass against them was getting tired… and most Catholic hypocrites couldn`t fake it convincingly. And now that the Pope has called-off any complaint about all injustices including clerical abuse, Father Rothrock has nothing to fear from his hierarchy.

      Big party tonight at the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City… by the way. Lot`s of new synthetic drugs direct from the Mob`s best labs., the world`s finest vintage spirits, gorgeous gay prostitutes dressed as altar-boys and the Pope`s very own personal Sistine Chapel Choir performing heavy metal hits; the latest kiddy porn on solid gold USB drives gathered by the Church`s best missionaries in South-East Asia during the past week…

      Like, it`s not like the Pope is going to complain about anything anymore eh Phil?

    bc, although I have a lot of disdain towards that church, your brand of humour in the second paragraph is somewhat offensive to me. I prefer factual and accurate info in posts versus what you posted there. I find the majority of your posts to be of great value…just not when you post stuff like in that paragraph.
