	Roman Catholic sex abuse cases - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the late 20th century, and early 21st, the Roman Catholic Church was confronted with a series of allegations of sexual abuse of children by Catholic priests (who are all male) and by members of the various religious orders (both male and female).
		The Roman Catholic Church considers the sexual abuse of children to be mortally sinful: covering up abuse is hiding both a breach of secular law and what in the eyes of the Church is mortal sin.
		Canon law (internal church law) was often given priority over secular criminal law, an action which led some Catholic Church leaders to be accused of "perverting the course of justice", itself a criminal act.

		He and Terruwe are known for their model of Emotional Deprivation Disorder and a different approach to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

		Senior church leaders, including the Archbishop of Boston, Cardinal Law (USA) and Bishop Brendan Comiskey of Ferns (Ireland) were forced to resign over their mishandling of cases in their dioceses and in particular their failure to report incidents to police.
		The response of the Roman Catholic Church to sex abuse by its priests in the twentieth century involved numerous methods to avoid criminal prosecution of the priests.
		From a criminal law viewpoint, the single worst failure of the Roman Catholic Church was the widespread failure of those in authority, once alerted as to the behaviour of individual sex abusers and paedophiles under their authority, to report the incidents directly to the police in their state.

	Just Good Company: Four Responses to "On Addressing Sexual Abuse"
		It is time for the institutional church to challenge its fundamentalist interpretation of Sacred Scripture and develop a more cogent theology – one which largely focuses on Christ’s teachings and the call of the Gospel to create a more inclusive community family of faith.
		The nature of the role by the majority of the members of a religious institution in the community at large provides a much wider scope for contact with broad sections of the community in virtually all possible situations.
		There are preventative measures that can be taken to avoid the grave sufferings caused to the victims and their families from sexual abuse.

		The Church, they say, did not encourage clergymen to report suspicious behavior on the part of their peers; it did not warn parishioners about the signs of sexual assault.
		That the Church once stood ahead of the curve in recognizing the need to treat sexually disordered priests seems, in his words, "one of the greatest ironies of this whole story." Unfortunately for the Church, he explains, "bishops deferred to mental-health people whose knowledge about pedophilia was wrong" by modern standards.
		To be sure, critics of the Church recognize that awareness has evolved -- both inside and outside the Church -- when it comes to sexual abuse of minors.

		Beneath this enormous cover and support, many candidates for the priesthood were quite ordinary persons as they entered time-locked seminaries or novitiates that froze their immaturity in place.
		Another primary issue is the negative effect the Church's treatment of gay persons, whom it views as "intrinsically disordered," has on its own gay clergy.
		Consequently, young men who are gay and feel they have a calling to the priesthood frequently feel they have to lie about their sexual orientation in order to be sure of gaining entrance to most of today's seminaries.

		Peter Garsden, a solicitor and vice-president of the Association of Child Abuse Lawyers, said: “If the Catholic church saw the writing on the wall in 1971 and ignored it and didn’t provide counselling it is tantamount to bad practice and maladministration which will be the foundation for any action in negligence.

		Over the years, Catholic apologists and wannabe defenders of the Roman priesthood have repeatedly informed me that the number of sexual offenders in the priesthood is quite small.
		The presence of well over 4000 priestly sexual predators within the ministerial priesthood appears to me to represent a significant problem that the hierarchy of the Catholic Church in America failed to adequately address during the period covered by the study.
		From the foregoing, it is clear that the Catholic hierarchy has been aware of the aberrant sexual behavior of some of its priests and religious for centuries, yet appears to have done precious little to cleanse her clergy of sexual deviants.

		And it is not uncommon, when discussing with statists, that they will explicitly appeal to the notion that government fulfills the role of parent with respect to citizens, who are maintained within the role of irresponsible children.
		Even if all these roles were legitimately assumed, they wouldn't endow governments with any of the political rights they claim: to enslave citizens and non-citizens part-time, to rob and imprison those who won't cooperate, to kill and torture those who resist — and most importantly, to make laws.
		The treatment will involve some form of education, to build some awareness of the Evil in those who currently think in political terms, and to build some healthy reflexes in everyone.
