It is called a Grand Jury. The lady has no choice. She and her kid would have to testify.

So why is Philly but the few who would open a grand jury investigation five years ago. A question not just for America. A question for Australia, Ireland, Germany, Canada, India, Italy, Spain and Chile. Clearly this was never just an American problem. Whereas the Church said they were turning such priest over to local jurisdication, Lynn Abraham's Grand Jury five years ago demonstrated it was just the opposite.

Well, maybe she is not Catholic. Irrelevant. No matter how many times I try, even I cannot get myself excommunicated. But then I couldn't get on Nixon's Enemies list either.

Not if the grand jury doesn't hear about it.
Good for Abraham, one of how many tens of thousands of DAs in this country?
Why do you keep asking the same question, one that nobody can possibly answer?

Interesting.

Because some questions are what everyone should be asking. Or else the problem festers. How many could not be bothered to look into Watergate? How much pedophilia was condoned by the Catholic Church because a majority did not ask such damning questions?

Another damning question that virtually no one asked. And so that problem got away with murder. When do we go after bin Laden? For seven years, America never did and virtually nobody asked.

Most every DA (for reasons that everyone should be demanding from their DAs) could not bother to investigate internationally protected pedophilia? Why not? Not just that DAs did not investigate. Why is an overwhelming majority even in the Cellar not asking this damning five years ago when the church was into “coverup mode”?

Because I don't have kids, I'm not Catholic, I'm not a DA, and I had more Pressing worries.

Yep just the that big ole bad Catholic Church - Perhaps the question should be how many other churches is this happening in?
Maybe we should ask China why they keep aborting female fetus'?
Or murdering dissidents?
Maybe we should ask why there are still drugs coming over the border from Mexico?

Domma dis, domma dat.

snigger @ shaw

So get some info together and start a thread. That's how it works. :rolleyes:

thanks but no thanks - right now I got more important things in my life.

Then why are you suggesting these things should be questioned when we're busy questioning something else? You just think we should stop questioning the catholic church for some reason? Tough shit.

I was following the progression of the last few posts from tw & Bruce.
No, not at all - Where did I EVER say that? PLEASE cite, please!

My opinion is and has been that this is not exclusive to the Catholic Church. To act like it is and repeatedly attack them as if that were true is bullshit. I and I've repeatedly made that point.

Who did this??!!! CITE! OMGZ!!11!

This *is* a thread specific to the catholic church pedophilia and cover up though - so talking about abortion in China doesn't make sense.

there are about 5 pages of it.

and thread drift is uncommon as well?

... as you were.

Is there a limit?
It's not thread drift if you don't actually want to talk about it, and as you said, you don't. You just want someone else to.

Yeah, thanks.
