As a Catholic, I don't think this "predator priest" stuff is a myth AT ALL. Just because these guys died or didn't get convicted doesn't mean it didn't happen. I know cases where there was no prosecution at all, and the priest ADMITTED to doing it, and then mentioned he did it to a LOT MORE kids, too many for him to remember the number! It was past the statute of limitations, so I guess he was happy to talk about his exploits.

I think this is the playing out of the FULL Third Secret of Fatima (I don't believe they released the whole thing), or more specifically, as outlined in our Lady of Akita, Japan, which cuts right to the chase.

The top of the church has been compromised by men with allegience to satan. At this point that *could* even include the Pope himself.

Pope Paul VI mentioned "the Smoke of satan" entering the church as far back as the 1970s. I don't think he was kidding!

But as a faithful Catholic I will keep my focus on Jesus and pray for all involved.
