RASH OF OLD ACCUSATIONS SURFACE
September 30, 2011
The following accusations were made against priests in the month of September alone:
• A 34-year-old man says he was abused in the 1980s by a priest from Portland, Oregon.
• In the same diocese, a 41-year-old woman says she was also abused in the 1980s, adding that this explains her series of failed romantic relationships.
• An 83-year-old priest from Charlotte, North Carolina was accused of molesting a teenage male in the 1970s.
• A priest from San Bernardino was accused of molesting teenage males in the 1970s.
• A priest from Ohio was accused of "misconduct" that allegedly took place in the 1970s.
• A priest from Kansas City was accused of molesting a boy in the 1970s.
• A St. Louis priest was accused of molesting a boy in the 1970s.
• A woman says a priest from Maine abused her in the 1970s.
• A priest from Chicago was accused of abusing a girl in the 1970s.
• An 85-year-old priest from Baton Rouge was accused of abusing a boy in the 1950s.
• Montana nuns were accused of abusing students in the 1940s.
• A convicted sex offender from California says he was abused in 2001 by a priest.
• A Missouri couple, which up until now never admitted that their son committed suicide in 1983, sued the local diocese for their son's death, claiming he was abused by a priest.
• The parents of a young man who committed suicide say they blame a priest who wrestled with their son. Some of the man's friends say he spoke about a wrestling incident, but never said there was anything sexual about it; others say the man told them he felt the priest's genitals rubbing up against him.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue says, "In this climate, which is profoundly hostile to priests, one would have to be awfully naïve not to wonder why all of these allegations surfaced in just one month about such dated incidents. I would love to see the financial statements of the accusers."

The catholic priests will be shuttering their doors if they don't do something fairly soon.
While the Mormons, and the baptists preach out in the streets; the Catholics preach from their cave/cathedral.
Complacency has led to decadence in the church, and priesthood is just a good job with benefits for many.
Apparently, the BBC has decided that the terms AD and BC (Anno Domini, or the Year of Our Lord, and Before Christ) must be replaced by the terms Common Era and Before Common Era.

Check Out schoolteachernews.com. There are far more female school teachers charged with molesting children each year than priests. Yet we never hear of the school boards being sued for placing children in this danger. Think about it.
Don't you just hate it when Bill Donohue (who is as bad a professional grievance monger as the worst feminist) has something potentially legitimate to bitch about?
The majority of abuse described occurred in the 70s and 80s, a time when victims didn't tell anyone or report their abusers.
One of the reasons victims eventually do come forward is because they realize THEY are not alone --- that it happened to other people.
This "coming forward" has been going on for a long, long time, anonymous.
Priests have been convicted on NO evidence, and even accused once by a Jewish man who never set foot in a Catholic church.
Men make false rape accusations? Makes you wonder if there's really as much rape going on in prison as is claimed.
