From the NY Times of 25 Jul 2011 is the Catholic Church all but openly encouraging pedophilia. Never forget that this Church has also ordered it disciples to impose Church doctrine onto all American laws and citizens. To even promote a hate of gays. And will not even apologize for its political agendas. Promoting such hate is how extremists obtain power.

Vatican Recalls Ambassador to Ireland Over Abuse Report
The government report, conducted by an independent investigative committee and released July 13, found that clergy in the rural Irish diocese of Cloyne did not act on complaints against 19 priests from 1996 to as recently as 2009. More damningly, it said that the Vatican had encouraged bishops to ignore child-protection guidelines adopted by Irish bishops in 1996 that included “mandatory reporting” of abuse to civil authorities.
The report caused a firestorm in Ireland, a country long dominated by the church. For the first time Irish lawmakers aimed their ire at the Vatican directly, and not at local church leaders.

It is no accident that the Catholic Church in Philadelphia was doing same; to basically protect pedophiles at the expense of others.
Quote:
The prime minister told Parliament last week that, “The rape and torture of children were downplayed or ‘managed’ to uphold instead, the primacy of the institution, its power, standing and ‘reputation.’ ” Mr. Kenny added that the Vatican had not listened “to evidence of humiliation and betrayal” with compassion but had instead chosen “to parse and analyze it with the gimlet eye of a canon lawyer.” The Irish parliament also passed a motion denouncing the Vatican’s role in “undermining child protection frameworks.” ...
The Cloyne Report is Ireland’s fourth on the pedophilia scandal since 1994, when the government fell over the state’s failure to confront a known pedophile priest. But it is the first to point a finger directly at Rome. It cited a confidential letter by a former Vatican ambassador to Ireland who said the child-protection policies adopted in 1996 violated canon law and dismissed them as “a study document.”
The report said that letter “effectively gave individual Irish bishops the freedom to ignore the procedures” and “gave comfort and support” to priests who “dissented from the stated Irish church policy.”

Cardinals in Philadelphia did same. One was not prosecuted due to Alzheimer’s that impeded his ability to defend himself. The current Cardinal has been removed. Let's not mince words. Because he was exposed by grand juries of all but encouraging pedophilia. His closest advisors on this issue were arrested for protecting pedophiles.
Most DAs in America are not doing their job - opening grand jury investigations of their local dioceses. This is not a local problem. This is a world wide attitude created at the highest levels of the church. If for no other reason, because the Church cannot be bothered to address it. If Satan exists, he also lives in Vatican City.
