Abuse Scandals: It's Not About the Children - by Rafaela Kurtág

Today in Vienna, I happened to overhear in a cafe the phone call of a lady from Upper Austria who was sitting at the next table.

She was looking at a newspaper. Presumably, she had just read something.

In any case, the lady said on the phone that there was a doctor “near her home" in Upper Austria who was currently in custody. He systematically and on a large scale sexually abused boys and also real children after having drugged them. The doctor had also made films with them etc.

There are 114 documented cases, but not all cases are known yet.

The lady wanted to know who this doctor was and tried to find out more through the medical association and through other doctors. Nobody shared even the slightest information.

No name could be reconstructed from the media reports, not even what kind of doctor the accused was.

Then she said: "If that had been a priest who had made even one wrong move, it would have been a huge scandal; all the newspapers would have been full for days."

But with a doctor this is treated like an "unfortunate mishap". From this she drew the conclusion that nobody really cares about the children.

@Thors Catholic Hammer you forget how the terrible abuse scandal affecting the Church happened under the previous two popes.
You blame Francis for, the same things his predecessors did. Reinstating sick priests included.
John Paul II's record for dealing with sex abuse was awful.

Benedict XVI's record was much the same, before and after he became Pope.

.Except you're not screamig "anypope JPII" or "anypope Benedict".

In truth, you don't care about abuse any more than you care about heresy or canon law. These are just tools for you to attack Pope Francis and when you are done, you discard them.

Either apply the same standards to all Popes equally, or give them all the benefit of the doubt.

...said the man who calls the last Pope a liar. Do Catholics do that? You claim I'm "anti-Catholic" but YOU are the one calling Benedict a liar and call Francis... whatever... "antipope", "heretic", etc. Not very Catholic of you, eticacasanova.

Yeah, by twisting my words, you are going to be taken seriously. You have been unmasked. And I'm not paid to do this, so, arrivederci, au revoir, auf wiedersehen, chao, mi pana, anda a fastidiar a tu perrito... and, next time, go slander your people, not Christ's Church

All these cases are legion, and everyone can testify to this because it is happening everywhere. But in order to stain the Church, we only talk about the priests: it is a trick of masonry and its boss the Antichrist who is the greatest abuser on the planet but who is of course whitewashed.

Antipope francis has not only protected priests who sexually abuse children but reinstated them.
Fr. Inzoli is just one example.
