Another indication root causes of Church sex scandals still not dealt with
Another indication root causes of Church sex scandals still not dealt with
The Oct 31, 2011 story about the German bishops ignoring repeated pleas from faithful Catholics regarding porn and other offensive books sold by their giant book sales company is very disturbing. It is yet more sex related scandal permitted by Church officials in the West, as we have seen all too often over the past several decades.
Once again, even though they have a strong anti-Christian bias, secular media are owed thanks for exposing important facts that Church leaders and their tightly controlled Catholic media withhold from the public.
We have stated many times in LifeSiteNews, as others have also stated, that many bishops still do not seem to have learned a thing from the huge sex abuse scandals of not too many years ago.
Denial, cover up the truth and attack the credibility and character of the whistleblowers still seem to be the mandatory elements of the response template, unless finally forced to take at least some action by public revelations of undeniable facts.
And even then, it often seems that the response is only limited to the very minimum that might satisfy the public.
Many faithful clergy and bishops are suffering greatly from having to endure these ongoing travesties within the Church and consistently being subjected to harsh retributions if they speak out or try to implement corrective actions.
The German porn situation, from all the evidence I have seen over the years, was likely allowed to continue because a fair number of influential German clergy at all levels and their bureaucrats and other advisers possibly have no problem with this kind of porn and may use it themselves.
Such is the degree of moral corruption that appears to exist in some parts of the Church, especially in the affluent, very comfortable and increasingly faithless West.
