Yeah, that's real funny.

Yet the Catholic Hierarchy still tries to keep these 'events' undercover. A few cases come to light now and then and when they do they never cease to stab the hell out of one's soul...praise the lord..

Edward Avery, Former Priest, Made 10-Year-Old Boy Do Striptease, Witness Says
The testimony came during the trial of Monsignor William Lynn, former secretary of the clergy, who is charged with child endangerment and conspiracy. The prosecution claims Lynn tried to cover up abuse accusations made against priests, some of whom were simply transferred to other parishes, Reuters reports.

The witness also said Avery told him that "God loves me, this is what God wants, and it was time for me to become a man," according to CNN.

The boy, now in his 20s, was in the fifth grade when Avery undressed with him in a small storage room, told him that God loved him, had him engage in oral intercourse and then ejaculated on him.

Having been used and abused many times throughout my life, as a woman, every time I read or hear another human's abuse story I am triggered into deep sorrow, pain and depression. Every Time! I am shaking as I am typing.

Why is it so hard for people to get on the same page against child abusers? Most people deny, still follow the church leaders and punish those of us who denounce these crimes against humanity.

The pain from child sexual abuse and most every other kinds of abuse never disappear.
Never!

Catholics, if you won't or can't leave your church at least stop financially supporting them, It's the least you can do.
