“A charge of the latter could easily be justified as a result of the ‘coloured’ thinking that produced this report.”

It was “very disappointing, on a number of levels, to have to conclude (as the evidence of this report suggests) that the Apostolic Visitation had very little to do with child protection but was effectively part of an ongoing process of remaking the church in accordance with current Vatican thinking.”

They concluded “that the injustice perpetrated on four Irish priests is completely unacceptable” and that the incompetent approach of those entrusted with such a delicate task was “disquieting”.

They said there was a strong possibility that the report’s findings “were decided before the evidence was gathered."

This is from the same sex-obsessed Curia that reprimanded American nuns for caring for the poor when they should have been out stirring up misogynic & homophobic hatred. We need to remember that those in charge of the Church today are products of the 1950s--the Church I left because the priest gabbled full-speed through the Latin Mass in 15 minutes or less in order to have a 1/2 hour to condemn pre-marital sex and another 1/2 hour for the Angelus and rosary. It was (and, unfortunately, is again) a Church that had nothing to do with Christ & everything to do with some heavy-duty Oedipal hang-ups.
Dolan ran the Milwaukee diocese from 2002 to 2009. I have a number of links that indicate he shielded molesters from view, and "cooked the books" to hide the money in funeral trusts. To hide it from people seeking Just recompense re their or their childrens molestation...................... Long ago as a child, i was taught - "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when re practice to deceive.".......... .....To Citizen Why - re the one priest they ordained, the problem is the church in general is getting a lot of priests from Africa. Many are under a lot of islamic culture, and will be ever worse on our gay friends and neighbors then the str8 priests..........Also there is a culture in Africa where (again islamic) the woman is second class, its taboo to dare to go against the husband.....Instead of fixing the churches unmarried priest situation, we'll end up with more control extremism especially re the poor nuns / sisters who are now being investigated by u know who........As the CDF - is it going to change its initials to the department of state security - the KGB? The church hates the commies but seems to learn from them when convenient.
More and more Dolan will be revealed as a superficial windbag thinking he can get by on twinkly charm and flattering the vainglorious power elite in Rome. Thank God his archdiocese could ordain only one priest this year, and that priest not even a US citizen.
Hasn't it been all this secrecy in the Vatican, in dioceses, in the church that has brought down this monumental sex abuse catastrophe upon the pope and his cardinals, bishops, priests, etc. Where is this so called transparency that we hear brooded about by church mouth-pieces, who by their further lies hope to cover up this clerical coal fire forever raging underground? Dolan is not to be trusted, He is not is own man. He has sold his soul for a red hat, a capa magna and a pot of Jacob's stew. He will fudge the truth, dissimulate, engage in mental reservations, all to preserve his inglorious image and the image of the Cult that provides him the idolization, prestige, vanity and narcissism he believes he deserves.
Oh the ironies are many! One striking irony is Cardinal Dolan's reason for his "no comment" on the reaction of the Irish bishops. Unlike the Irish press and bishops, HE will not breach confidentiality by speaking about his Top Secret report on the Irish College in Rome! Card. Dolan said, "While obviously others do not consider themselves bound by the promised confidentiality -- so necessary and understandable to assure a fair and honest gathering of information requested by the Apostolic See -- I certainly do." As with the child abuse tragedies and the investigation of the American sisters, the secrecy of bishops, and the resulting lack of transparency in the process, is the PROBLEM! Status quo: no change.
"Down with that sort of thing" Father Ted comes to mind
