Glass houses…? People that throw stones…?

John Venarri, Editor of Catholic Family News, states that 70% of U. S.
Catholic bishops are homosexuals – according to priests with whom he keeps in
contact. Some are well known for their association with the promotion of
homosexual causes. Cardinals, such as Mahony of Los Angeles, are included with this
atrocity in the Church and its promotion in the world.

According to an Australian news report:

….there is a limit to what the Vatican will allow. In the past few weeks a
prominent Christian Brother has been ordered to with draw from circulation a
hook which accuses members of his order and others of having created a
“smokescreen “in regard to clerical sexual abuse. The hook, Religious Life Without
Integrity - The Sexual Abuse Crisis Within the Catholic Church, says that
“sexual under-worlds” have developed in some religious congregations and
dioceses… The author, Brother Dr. Barry Coldrey… is a church historian who came
to prominence in the early 1990s when his Christian Brothers order asked him
to investigate and write a hook about the West Australian Catholic
orphanages. His superiors claimed that as an “outsider” (from Victoria), he would he an
honest broker, whose reporting would satisfy the demands of the old boys for
an inquiry.

The Conspiracy
There has been a nationwide pattern which I have observed over the last 35
years. Bishops know of ongoing sexual misconduct by Catholic priests and
religious and bishops co-operate to keep such misconduct. from becoming public
knowledge. The following are uniform practices: failing to investigate
indications of any sexual misconduct, even with children; .failing to supervise
properly the cleric in his assignment, failing to ensure that the cleric is
prosecuted for misconduct with children. Once an incident occurs, energy and
policies at the highest levels of Church authority have been directed to damage
control, avoidance of scandal at all costs, and efforts to placate and manipulate
victims and families. The latter often involves intimidation, misleading
information, and even. fraudulent means, if necessary. Policy also involves
maintaining the priest in a new assignment without proper supervision and without
informing the congregation where the abusive behaviour usually continues.
(Sipe, A W R, Preliminary expert report, p 16)

Br. Coldrey goes on to explain what his investigation revealed:
…. The regular appointment of known child molesters to secretarial or
archivists roles at episcopal or provincial headquarters provides such men with
positions to further the interests of a sexual underworld if one exists. The
secretary deals with the public on sensitive issues and the archivist comes to
possess a great deal of private information (blackmail capacity) about
current and former members of the diocese or province.

Priests dying of AIDS at higher rate
Ledger-Enquirer — Associated Press
Kansas City, Mo.
Roman Catholic priests in the United States are dying of AIDS-related
illnesses at a rate four times higher than the general population and the cause is
often concealed on their death certificates, The Kansas City Star reported
Sunday.
In the first of a three part series, the newspaper said death certificates
and interviews with experts indicated several hundred priests have died of
AIDS-related illnesses since the mid-1980’s and hundreds more are living with
HIV.

“Reification… means any unwarranted extension of reality in the thing
perceived or conceived…
Thus reification means the taking as real that which is only apparently
real; the taking as
objectively real that which is only subjectively real; the taking as
factual, concrete or perceptual
that which is only conceptual; the taking as absolute that which is only
relative, etc.”
JAMES W. WOODARD, Intellectual, Realism and Culture Change, 1935.
