<b>Sex crimes and the Vatican: BBC World documentary</b>
Please watch, if you have access to BBC World, the documentary: Sex Crimes and the Vatican. This documentary chronicles the details of the paedophile crimes by priests in the US, and the Vatican's attempt to cover up.
A nauseating account is that by an ex-priest, who was sentenced to 7 years in jail for pedophile activities in the US, end later deported back to Ireland, who gives the interviewer explicit details of how he preyed on boys and girls, and describes the type of children that he was particularly sexually drawn to, and the methods he would use to approach them to pave the way for sexual intimacy. The graphic accounts of many of the victims, who had been abused as children by their priests, are very painful to hear.
The horrifying thing is that many priests who were involved in pedophile activities in the US, and charged, were quickly transferred by their Bishops, with the full knowledge of the Church, to developing countries, in order to escape prosecution, thereby putting the children in these developing countries at great risk of being sexually abused by these pedophiles. Others, who are wanted in the US for child abuse, have run away to Italy, and are currently hiding in the Vatican, according to the documentary. The Vatican has refused to allow these priests to be deported to the US to face charges, and have provided sanctuary for them.
Do Indian christian ever get the chance to watch such documentaries? I am convinced that there is rampant sexual abuse of children by priests and nuns in Christian schools, orphanages and destitute homes throughout India; but who is going to investigate, and expose these crimes? Because the Indian converts are poor, and socially and economically defenseless, they can be easily bullied by their church into keeping their silence on the sexual misconduct of the priests â as was the situation for a poor family in Latin America - the mother, whose son was sexually abused by a priest, was unable to get justice, and was threatened, bullied, and coerced by the church to keep silent and to not press charges.
The Vatican is one sick institution (cult) that needs to be destroyed completely and all the sick perverts, who are hiding in there, flushed out, once in for all.
