Over 1000 identifiable victims over 70 years.

Philly News

Top Roman Catholic leaders in Pennsylvania routinely covered up child sex abuse by hundreds of priests, who piled up attacks against more than 1,000 victims over seven decades, according to a long-awaited grand jury report released Tuesday.

The nearly 900-page document – the product of what may be the most comprehensive examination to date of clergy sex abuse across a single state – accused church officials in six of Pennsylvania’s eight dioceses of routinely prioritizing their institution over the welfare of children.

More than 300 accused priests were singled out – though some names remained redacted amid an ongoing court fight over the accuracy of the report’s findings and the damage it could cause to the reputations of some identified within it. Dozens of church superiors were also named as complicit, including some who have risen to prominent national postings


Damn. I hope they are going to hell.

Hopefully this brings sweeping change and accountability for this evil. I love the Catholic Church but I am sick and tired of this shite. This and the recent sentencing of Cardinal McCarrick are pretty big blemishes. Fingers crossed for some action by the higher ups in the church.

I'm sure the Catholic Church is now ready to move forward because all of their pervert priests are out of the Church.

As a Catholic, I think we should burn them at the stake and be done with them.

Why do that when we can just move them to another school/diocese?

They need to quit that vow of celibacy shite. It’s a part of the problem. It’s not natural for a human to be celibate or abstinent. We are hard wired to reproduce

The ones who take celibacy seriously and do the right thing don’t seem to have a problem with it...

Good!

We must scourge this evil from the Church. Hopefully the laity will rise up and demand the clergy take certain steps to ensure this never happens again.

This is what happens when priests and bishops don't obey their own teachings.

Disgusting. The Church doesn't belong to priests, bishops or the Pope. It belongs to God. As his wrath belongs to these wolves in sheep clothing.

OP should adjust the title. These are allegations against 300 priests since 1940, almost all before 1990. Many are no longer alive.

Yeah that's not a one time incident. Disgusting, and it's only one state.

I'm bothered that the pictures of the characters don't line up with their actual name of the actor portraying them.

They should have allowed female priests 20 years ago.

So it happened a long time ago, so it doesn't matter as much. Is that what you're saying?

No. It’s horrible. But you can’t indict a dead man.
