Files are paper. Reams measures paper. Where is the pun?

Add Chile and Brazil to countries discovering pedophilia among their clergy. From the Washington Post of 28 April 2010:

A Roman Catholic priest in Brazil is facing charges he abused eight boys in cases dating back to 1995, prosecutors said Wednesday, adding to a growing list of allegations against clergy in Latin America. ...
Prosecutors said the reported abuses occurred this year, in 2009 and in 2001 in the city of Franca, ...
Calls to the Franca diocese rang unanswered. After-hours of calls to the offices of the National Conference of Brazilian Bishops were not returned. ...
A priest in Chile was charged recently with eight cases of sexually abusing minors, including a girl he had fathered.

No, files are steel, and reams are Sheldon's scorecard.

Reaming is also another word for vigorous anal sex; e.g. "Toyota is getting completely reamed by this latest recall."

Paper covers rock!

[Sundae]

Reamers are a printing device used to create or enlarge a hole in paper.
The slang use of ream, reaming, reamer is used almost exclusively in terms of anal sex (more usually gay anal sex) for this reason.

In this country at least.

The POPE. He's TERRIFIED!

Maybe he's scared it's all come to light.

From the Cardinal on 10 Feb 2011:

I assure all the faithful that there are no archdiocesan priests in ministry today who have an admitted or established allegation of sexual abuse of a minor against them.

Which is spin for "the Archdioceses has successfully protected pedophiles from prosecution". So that Cardinal is doing his job.

[Perry Winkle]

My father was a die-hard Catholic when he was young. He was on track to go to seminary and become a priest. He felt it was his calling.

His mentor demanded sex. He refused and stopped pursuing that path.

I'm glad, because I likely would not exist if it weren't so.

Ever since that episode he's had a shaky relationship with the church. For the last several years, he and my mother have stopped identifying as Catholics and have attended a Protestant (I can't remember what flavor) church.

I have to wonder if this sort of widespread paedophilia and sexual misconduct is unique to the Catholic church, or if it's common in any sexually repressive (spiritual?) organization.

A Philadelphia priest (Lynn) is on trial for protecting pedophilia. An archdiocese lawyer apparently was fired by the Church because he asked too many questions. He testified that protecting pedophilia may have been known even by former Cardinal Bevilacqua. And known by many top church officials, including other Bishops, when all claimed they knew nothing of that pedophile list. A cover up has been ongoing in the Philadelphia archdiocese for a decade when Philly District Attorney Lynn Abraham was openly trying to prosecute. Back in 2002, investigator notes repeatedly reported rumors of the list that was later found in a Bishop’s safe in 20006. The Cardinal ordered those lists be shredded.

Why are so many other District Attorneys not prosecuting a nationwide pedophile ring? Never forget that the Pope has ordered American Catholic politicians to impose Papal doctrine into American laws.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer of 14 May 2012:

Archdiocesan lawyer: Church leaders lied to me about secret list
The top lawyer for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia testified Monday that church's leaders lied to him when he asked them a decade ago about a secret list of 35 area priests suspected of sexually abusing children.

"Everyone I spoke to said they didn't know where it was, and they didn't have a copy of it," the lawyer, Timothy Coyne, told jurors at the landmark conspiracy and clergy sex-abuse trial against Msgr. William J. Lynn.

He added: "Somebody lied to me - or a lot of people lied to me." ...

The list, and who knew about it, has become a central mystery as the trial against Lynn begins to wind down.

Prosecutors contend that Lynn, as secretary for clergy, drafted the list in 1994, and that it proves he allowed priests to remain in active ministry around the archdiocese despite knowing or suspecting they would abuse minors. Lynn’s lawyers said it proves he was trying to identify and take action on abusive priests.

At Bevilacqua's direction, all copies of the list were shredded except for one found in a locked safe in the archdiocese’s Center City offices in 2006. A separate memo detailing the shredding was found in another safe in an office previously occupied by now Bishop Joseph Cistone. Both were turned over to investigators this year, weeks before trial.

Not long after, Coyne was suspended from his job as director of legal services.

Repeatedly noted was a list released by Lynn Abraham and published by the Philadelphia Inquirer of priests known by the Church to be pedophiles. Lynn Abraham made another important point. Pennsylvania laws makes prosecuting of pedophiles all but impossible.

Meanwhile, let's never forget that Joe Paterno was fired because prosecutors did not investigate and prosecute a known pedophile.

Corruption and contempt for mankind was defined. Does the organization (including non-profit, church, political party, mafia, etc) work for a product? Or are they only into their rewards? The Philly Inquirer published on 13 Feb 2011:

Probe of how the church investigates allegations against priests found it focuses mostly on its reputation and assets.

Which means the church is no different from the mafia or a president who lies about Mission Accomplished.

Cardinal Justin Rigali condemned that report, especially the assertion that church officials knew exactly what they were doing when they protected pedophile priests over children.

The Grand Jury says Cardinal Rigali was fully aware of pedophile activity. And did nothing to protect kids from rape. Two Grand Juries six year apart discovered the exact same crimes. So he denies it as any murder or rapist also would.

"I assure all the faithful," Rigali wrote, "that there are no archdiocesan priests in ministry today who have an admitted or established allegation of sexual abuse of a minor against them."

Apparently he is living in a world with Mubarak. But Mubarak has morals.

From the NY Daily News of 13 Feb 2011:

Archbishop Timothy Dolan slammed as "ludicrous" Sunday allegations that his old diocese in Milwaukee hid $130 million to avoid paying child abuse victims.
Dolan said he was "saddened" by the claims, which were raised by lawyers for alleged victims of pedophile priests.

Sad? Who had less credibility than a corrupt lawyer? A Catholic bishop.

The Milwaukee archdiocese, faced with a flood of child sex lawsuits, filed for bankruptcy last month.

A rich archdioceses in a very Catholic town could not find $130 million? This scumbag did his job so successfully as to be promoted to an even richer NY archdioceses.

Cardinal Adrianus Simonis—who drew criticism earlier this year when he claimed that Catholic bishops had not been aware of clerical abuse—reportedly gave parish assignments to the pedophile priest after sending him away for treatment. The priest then molested more children in his new parish.
Cardinal Simonis served as Archbishop of Utrecht [Netherlands] from 1983 to 2007

Since so many here are condoning these rapes by their silence, then why would DAs in every state bother to investigate organized pedophilia protection rings? Marci Hamilton notes:

FOX News, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity, among others, routinely skew reporting on religious issues, and suppress stories that might put religious leaders in a bad light.

A Google News search for "pedophile philadelphia source:Fox source:News" reports not even one news story. Fair and Balanced because Fox News viewers should only be told what to think.

How many extremists here are remaining silent? What happened to the conservative moral majority? If moral, why am I and not they noting these widespread crimes? Silence?

How many more extremist (repressive) organizations - that would impose their extremist dogma on American laws - are promoting pedophilia? Good question. Who else are protecting the worldwide rape of kids - even by their silence?

[tw]

How many priests are pedophiles? Well this Grand Jury accuses Fr James Brennan. Not to be confused with two Fr Robert Brennans (Robert E and Robert L) cited in the previous Grand Jury report as pedophiles.

Fr James Brennan was assigned to Cardinal O'Hara High School in Springfield PA when he was known to have 'inappropriate contact'. Who was also there? Fr McCarthy (accused in 1970 and in 1986 at that school), Fr Leneweaver, Monsignor Giliberti, Monsignor Furmanski, Fr. Wisniewski, Fr. Gallagher, and Fr. Cannon were also assigned to O'Hara High School and listed in the first Grand Jury pedophile report. Fr. Cribben was the principle who knew of their actions and ignored it. At what point does the church shut down a school to protect the kids? Oh. That would hurt profits.

The second Grand Jury sites another pedophile at that school. And also lists both Cardinals Bevilacqua and Rigali as knowing about the pedophilia while doing nothing to avert it. Both Cardinals even reassigned multiple known pedophile priests to high risk activities. And never once reported these crimes to authorities – as any mafia god father would do. The previous Grand Jury report also accused Cardinal Krol of doing same. That's all three Philadelphia Cardinals protecting pedophilia.

But Fox News was too fair and balanced to report any of this. How may other extremsts protect pedophilia for a poltical agenda? How many other justisdictions will not investigate because extremists hope to cover it up? Why so much silence?

Exactly what outlet did report it?
