The other 99.7% are guilty because they know about the crimes and the take an active role in covering it up. (nor do I believe in that number however take that back through the ages and it becomes a very large number)

Oh yeah, really? An active role in covering it up,
that is total bullshit,
and even if you count every single case to the day when Jesus began the church, you will still only get a number that is
not above any other group, in fact, the group with the biggest number of pedophiles are step-fathers and other relatives, I find that even more disgusting, but I wouldn't be a dickhead and blame all other stepdads.

Are you putting children first with your heartfelt defense of Catholic priests?

A tiny bit of online research can find documents, (if legitimate), that probably should concern you, in these matters.

I found the following in Latin, allegedly from the previous Pope, allegedly signed by him when he was Cardinal Ratzinger.

and this alleged translation of the above Latin document in English

English…. [link to www.bishop-accountability.org]

You will note these alleged letters & alleged translations declare "Cases of this kind are subject to the pontifical secret."

Here is a definition of "Pontifical Secret" [link to encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com]

Can a person be ex-communicated for even discussing these issues?.

Can a victim who communicates outside the Church be ex-communicated?

I couldn't find the words "All cases must be reported to the Police", in the documents, did you?

I'm sorry to rock your world, but, if these documents are legitimate, what do you say now?

This is to do with canon law, with what happens within the church, a pedophile priest has to go through a church trial as well as a civil one.


"Regulations concerning the secrecy of trials are maintained, in order to safeguard the dignity of all the people involved.

One point that remains untouched, though it has often been the subject of discussion in recent times, concerns collaboration with the civil authorities. It must be borne in mind that the Norms being published today are part of the penal code of canon law, which is complete in itself and entirely distinct from the law of States.
On this subject, however, it is important to take note of the "Guide to Understanding Basic CDF Procedures concerning Sexual Abuse Allegations", as published on the Holy See website. In that Guide, the phrase "Civil law concerning reporting of crimes to the appropriate authorities should always be followed" is contained in the section dedicated to "Preliminary Procedures". This means that in the practice suggested by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith it is necessary to comply with the requirements of law in the various countries, and to do so in good time, not during or subsequent to the canonical trial."
