French Catholic Church abuse: 216,000 children were victims of clergy

Some 216,000 children - mostly boys - have been sexually abused by clergy in the French Catholic Church since 1950, a damning new inquiry has found.

The head of the inquiry said there were at least 2,900-3,200 abusers, and accused the Church of showing a "cruel indifference towards the victims".

A senior figure in the French Church expressed "shame and horror" over the findings, and asked for forgiveness.

One of those abused said it was time the Church reassessed its actions.

François Devaux, who is also the founder of the victims' association La Parole Libérée (Freed speech), said there had been a "betrayal of trust, betrayal of morale, betrayal of children".

The inquiry found that the number of children abused in France could rise to 330,000, when taking into account abuses committed by lay members of the Church, such as teachers at Catholic schools.

Seriously, who the fuck is still Catholic at this point, and what is your malfunction?

Who the fuck would trust their child to the church after all the revelations of child abuse?

The problem is that the Catholic church requires celibacy of its priests and demonizes homosexuality. Any other religion with similar requirements will also see equivalent levels of pederasty.

All this focus on Catholicism is ignoring the root cause, which is an unnatural suppression of human urges.

Heterosexual men and homosexual men do not become attracted to young boys and girls because of any church rules.

These are positions and institutions of trust, and as such they have easy access to children.

Pedos go were the access is.

How large is the clergy in France in total? 3,000 rapist priests, even over a 70 year period, is insane.

You couldn't even accept a Crusade from a Based Pope at this point, you'd need an interior Inquisition first, with plenty of burnings.

In the US, will not the focus have paedophiles spread to more hospitable climes like parts of the MAGA support base?

Just like France has closed down Mosques because of radical elements within them, France/Europe should close down Catholic Churches because they are basically a pedo network.

Jergul, That's an odd association. Generally the MAGAs would be more likely to kill/assault pedos.

No they just claim to be against pedos. Just like the most vocal homophobes always end up getting caught in a same sex relationship.

Evangelicals dont have the history of being rapey like the Catholocs do.

Texas legally allows you to beat pedophiles to death if cuaght in the act. This happened.

Evangelicals have exactly the history to be exactly as rapey as the catholic church.

Acting in self-defence of another person is generally legal everywhere.

But they're not. There are actually 800 numbers to call if a priest touched you.

Religion alone doesnt equal rapists.

Religious organizations by the very way they are structured equals rapists.

You would actually need to point out how a given evangelical congregation differed from a catholic one is defining ways that safeguard children.

"Or most religions in a nutshell."

This specific requirement of celibacy while not unique to the catholic church is unique among the Abrahamic religions. Muslim clergy have TONS of children. In Zoroastrianism for instance, life and procreation are celebrated, celibacy is a big no no. It probably attracts deviants of this kind.

There are trade offs here, catholic clergy not being allowed to have children supressess the heritability of religion, nature or nurture, religious people sire religious children. Not allowing them to have children is a check on the power and nepotism in the church. The Catholic church tore apart the old clan structures of Europe and unwittingly undermined their own power in the long run. Remember the medieval Papal state was serious about power. There are more things there, but I do believe this is a significant aspect of how it played out.

The effects are the reverse in Islamic clergy of course. They have 4-5 children and at least 1 of them goes straight in the fathers foot steps.

I was reacting to "suppression of natural urges", not the celibacy specifically. Though it is arguably the most retarded of all the examples of this.

Uhh that's easy, Baptists and Methodists aren't using 6+ kids as altar servers for standard Mass, which requires private training and dress up

Claiming the catholic church is a pedo network is pretty fucking naive/stupid. Pick your poison on that one.

Pedophilia is everywhere. Religion has nothing to do with it.

Proof is in the pudding.

Catholic Church has encouraged pedophilia. For a long time if they caught a priest in the act they'd just move him to the next town.

Facts.

They covered that shit up as recently as the previous pope. This is known and parents still sign their kids up for that criminal organisation... I'll never understand that.

Well, they dont tend to rape young boys.Thats the key difference.

"Religious organizations by the very way they are structured equals rapists."

*Until the 2012 constitutional amendment the Evangelical-Lutheran religion was the public religion of the State.* WIKI

Can you point on this will to where they touched you?
