When it comes to child sexual abuse pedophilia is of no exception amongst the Catholic priests in our religious institutions. However, it is of little wonder that the Catholic Church is now serving to cover up the allegations of ongoing cases that have been trialled and convicted over the years within the justice system. The latest reports on all scandals are not relatively new, considering the data that has been recently collected pre-dates to over 50 years climbing toward the early part of the century. Common cases having come forward are ablaze with the uprising public demise of the Vatican and Roman Catholic Church.
It is a very controversial subject and one that will not turn away through a blind eye. Catholics are renowned for condemning homosexuality throughout history. The crimes committed by the Roman Catholic priests are 'homosexual' and is largely hypocritical due to the opposing nature of homosexuality amongst Christian faiths.
Justice needs to be accomplished and the need for child protection in Christian communities should be strictly addressed by our government and child care protection services.
Defrocked Priests
Despite the number of priests who have been defrocked in recent times there have been reports that not enough cases of catholic priests have been testified against child sexual abuse. Leading investigations from police and victims from church groups are pleading to have more cases trialled and defrocked.
Other cases of priests suspended were also found to have been identified working in new organizations for re-employment not long after trial. Communities outraged by the findings are calling authorities in order to debate the issue for further investigation.
What is the outcome?
After all the media attention that has notoriously flooded the nations the Vatican imposes more strict formalities in regard to police back ground checks on church employees and volunteers.
Others include:
More public awareness is needed to be announced to parents, schools and communities.
Retirement
Retirement and resignations were common amongst elderly priests who were living in retirement houses and were closely monitored.
Breaking the Silence
Victims of abuse were encouraged to come forward with reports of child-hood abuse and to seek counselling services.
