Morning Catholic must-reads: 29/07/11

The Cloyne Report may remind some readers of the remark in Robert
Grave’s I Claudius: “Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch
out.” Is the Catholic Church’s hierarchic structure specifically
designed perpetually to permit its priests to poison and victimize
Catholic children with their known pathological sexual dysfunction?
Is the Church’s undeniable culture of clerical pederasty in its
core? Is the Church a private club for pedophiles, their protectors,
and their enablers? Is the Church an utterly immoral institution
and a truly unGodly organization? How would a reasonable reader
answer these questions after pondering [1] the McCullough Report,
[2] the
Murphy Report, [3] the Ferns Report, [4] the Ryan Report,
[5] the McCoy Report, and now [6] the Cloyne Report? How many more
Reports will there be? How many Reports must there be before the
Church ceases protecting itself and solely protects its children? Are there no diamonds in the rough of Cloyne, Ferns, Raphoe, Limerick, Galway,
Dublin, and all Ireland? Is there no one “at the top” to stop the
Church’s child abuse, once and for all, finally? Yes. Consider who, among
the Church hierarchy itself, has been condemned by the hierarchy
precisely
for siding with the victims and not the Old Boys Club? The Cloyne
Report may remind some readers to review the criticisms made by Auxiliary
Bishop Emeritus of Dublin Dermot O’Mahony of Father Diarmuid Martin,
Archbishop of Dublin and Primate of Ireland: “The archbishop did nothing to counteract the statement of the Murphy report, widely circulated
in the media, that the majority of clergy knew and did nothing”. . .
“To suggest our approach failed to take cognisance of the safety of
children is inaccurate and unjust. The acceptance by media and current diocese policy that a cover-up took place must be challenged.” [See
Irish Times articles of January 27, 28, Febuary 5, 2010.]  Given the
Cloyne Report, Father O’Mahony’s statements are contemptible
rubbish,
as were similar criticisms of Archbishop Martin by some lackey priests.
The Cloyne Report is a scathing denunciation of those who
criticized Archbishop Martin and a complete vindication of the approach
that he has taken. The Cloyne Report reveals that Archbishop Martin
is a diamond in the cesspool that is a Church hierarchy of pedophile
protectors and enablers. Were there more priests and Bishops like
Diarmuid Martin, there would be no need for [1] the McCullough
Report, [2] the Murphy Report, [3] the Ferns Report, [4] the Ryan
Report, [5] the McCoy Report, [6] the Cloyne Report, and the other Reports
that must necessarily follow, because the Church’s poisons will continue
to hatch out perpetually until it finally ceases protecting itself
and solely protects its children. Only when the Church starts
protecting itself by protecting its children will it finally
eradicate
its poisons and have no need for Opus Dei apologists who try to defect
responsibility onto anyone but the ”Cabal” of the Vatican
hierarchy, which is the term that Archbishop Martin used to described
them in a recent interview. There is no “gray area” or a
“conscience of clay” when it comes to pedophiles because they are
immoral “black” holes as are those who fail to report allegations of
sexual abuse to authorities for they protect pedophiles from being
investigated and thereby enable him to abuse again.
