    The Catholic Church’s pedophilia investigator, in charge of child protection and interviewing adults who as children had been victims of pedophile priests today was jailed on pedophilia charges in England. 49-year old Christopher Jarvis, a married man with four children of his own, began serving his 12-month sentence after serving the Catholic Church for nine years in a dioscese that included 120 Catholic Churches. Jarvis admitted to the charges, which included possession of 4000 images of pre-pubescent boys, including several depicting sadism, child rape, and torture.

    I wish I could be shocked...but somehow I am not even surprised, and that's what shocks me.

    I do think the RCC should clean up its glasshouse and stop throwing stones at gays. There is no way they can claim the moral high ground.

    No sex? There are times I wish I was having half as much sex as many of them seem to be having.:rolleyes: But not of the same kind, of course.;)

    Actually, I believe the kiddy-fiddler church's major problem is not no sex, which doesn't necessarily have to be a problem, but a spectacularly unhealthy and twisted attitude to sex. :):)

    You just saw it but it's from last November and has been on Boards before.

    the RCC as a whole should be banned as its a danger to children

    Seems like I'm not the only one who didn't see it before ;).

    November eh? A whole two months ago - does that make it no longer worthy of discussion?

    Or at the very least use their ridiculous wealth to pay back compensation instead of trying to weasel out of their responsibilities like... well I'd probably be banned if I said what I really think of them.

    Also just saw this:
    Catholic hospitals are required to adhere to the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services — archconservative restrictions issued by the 258-member U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

    Because of the directives, doctors and nurses at Catholic-affiliated facilities are not allowed to perform procedures that the Catholic Church deems “intrinsically immoral, such as abortion and direct sterilization.” Those medical personnel also cannot give rape survivors drugs to prevent pregnancy unless there is “no evidence that conception has already occurred.” The only birth control they can dispense is advice about “natural family planning” — laborious daily charting of a woman’s basal temperature and cervical mucus in order to abstain from sex when she is ovulating — which only 0.1 percent of women use.

    The Catholic directives involve not just abortion and birth control but ectopic pregnancies, embryonic stem cell research, in-vitro fertilization, sterilizations and more. “The problem with [the directives],” says Susan Berke Fogel, an attorney at the National Health Law Program in Los Angeles, “is about substandard care becoming rampant in the U.S., threatening women’s health and women’s lives.”

    Catastrophe was only narrowly averted in 2009 when a 27-year-old, 11-weeks-pregnant patient in Arizona staggered into the emergency room of St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix with such severe pulmonary hypertension that her doctors determined she would die without an immediate abortion. The ethics committee voted to break hospital policy and advise the woman of her option of a lifesaving abortion. The woman chose to have doctors terminate the pregnancy.

    But when the bishop overseeing the Phoenix diocese heard about this, he declared that St. Joseph’s could no longer be a Catholic institution unless it agreed to follow Catholic “moral teachings.” The Bishop forbade Catholic Mass in the hospital’s chapel and excommunicated Sister Margaret McBride — the only nun on the ethics committee.

    I'd say he was doing about as much research as Walter Mitt..oh.

    Yes, a bit like the veteran anti-pornography campaigners Lord Pornford http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Pakenham,_7th_Earl_of_Longford and Mary Shitehouse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Whitehouse

    They made frequent "fact-finding" visits to Copenhagen and Stockholm and I seem to recall that they went to one live sex show in the Danish capital about fifteen times. :):)

    Nothing like getting your facts right, eh?;);)
