Catholic Church.  It doesn't take much skill in observation to realize that a decision has been made at the very highest levels of the Cryptocracy to get the Pope. The sudden development of a sexual abuse scandal in Germany is designed for one purpose, and one purpose only, to develop a path of accusation against the Pope. The goal is to drive him from the Papacy. 

Even though Benedict is one of the most pro-Judaic Popes in the history of the Church, his orientation evidently wasn't good enough to please the individuals who constantly strive to control human events in order to establish a world Talmudic dictatorship. These individuals know full-well that it is the Church and what it stands for that stand in the way. Sooner or later they had to attempt to remove the Church as an obstacle. It looks like they have decided that now is the time.

And so the Church faces a great challenge. Can the Vatican and the Church leaders recognize the danger? Can they take adequate action to turn back this attack?

Time will tell. Some of the Church statements have indicated a glimmering of understanding. But, for the most part, the Church statements have been framed in defensiveness. That stance will never succeed. Those going after the Pope will tear defensive statements apart and use the statements against the Church, as they already are doing. 

The only way forward is for the Church leaders to go on the offensive. The Church is the most compassionate entity in the history of the world. It is utterly ridiculous for the Church to be painted as an organization of abuse and cover-up. The leaders need to get some gumption, quit worrying about the media's attitude toward them and start explaining what the attack on the Pope means for the development of world history.

The Church had no trouble going on the offensive in response to Luther's challenge. The danger to the Church in the present circumstances is far greater.

Catholic Church. The current phase of the sexual abuse charges against the Church is developing very rapidly and, for the Church, in an alarming direction. Precious little time remains for the Church leaders to formulate a response that will prevent extensive damage to the authority of the Church.

The current situation began when charges of sexual abuse were made in Germany, in particular in a choir which the Pope's brother lead. The brother responded by saying that it all occurred before he got there and that he would be willing to testify. Then a day later, he admitted that he had slapped (repeatedly) children in the choir as a punishment.

The Church and Christ-haters who are organizing the international campaign of sexual abuse against the Church could not be happier. And they have jumped on their new opportunity with a zeal.

The forces behind the attack now have the Papacy squarely in their crosshairs. Plus, they have the opening to escalate the sexual assault charges to physical abuse charges. Thus a whole new round of charges, legal suits, and settlements looms in country after country on the physical abuse allegations.

Many forces are being brought into the attack. The Times-on-Line article yesterday referred to the "pervasive culture of violence at Roman Catholic institutions." The article continued by quoting the brother as saying he knew of "a reign of terror" by the headmaster of the choir's school from 1953 to 1992. The brother admitted he had done nothing about it.

The German government has gone so far as to accuse the Vatican of suppressing the truth about the abuse. The Times-on-Line article claims that liberal German Catholics "have questioned how much the Pope knew of sexual abuse in his country's Church when he was professor of theology in Germany in the 1960s -- including a stint in Regensburg -- and Archbishop of Munich and Freising from 1971 to 1982."

More accusations are sure to fly in the next period of time. One can be certain that it is well known now that anyone who can come forward with a credible charge has a large pot of money awaiting him.

The Church leaders have followed a policy of appeasement as the sexual abuse allegations have appeared in country after country. But those who are directing the campaign against the Church are un-appease-able. They take appeasement to be a sign of weakness, a sign that they should escalate their efforts. And now they have the golden opportunity to start their campaign all over again in country after country on the physical abuse charge. Plus they now believe they have a good chance of pinning something on Pope, whether true or not.

The Church leaders had better think and act quickly, because this tsunami is growing and fast-approaching the Vatican. Appeasement hasn't worked and certainly won't work here. Pray that the Church leaders realize the situation they are in and take the appropriate measures to defend the Church.

*********

BTW, the Pope's brother is quoted "I myself handed out slaps repeatedly, although I always had a bad conscience about it." It is absolutely astounding that a leader of the Church would admit to defying his conscience. It's one thing for a member of the faithful to have a tough time following one's conscience, but a leader of the Church is another matter. Then, to admit it. Oh, my goodness. Pray for the Pope's brother.

Catholic Church, in Today's News 03.05.10

Catholic Church. Someone at the Vatican had better wake up, fast!!

Many news agencies are reporting an alleged sexual abuse case in the boys' choir of Regensburg, where the Pope's brother was choir director.

IOW, those who have prompted the sexual abuse campaigns against the Church in the United States, Ireland, and now Germany, are feeling so good about their successes (and the ridiculous Church response) that they are now taking aim at the Pope. And what better way to get at the Pope than to involve the Pope's brother in a scandal!!

The Vatican's initial response to the charges is dumb. The Vatican says that the Pope's brother led the choir after the alleged abuses occurred. This is not wise because those behind the charge always think two or three moves ahead. They could easily have another case in reserve from the years when the Pope's brother was in charge. All they could be waiting for is a statement like the Vatican's response to launch the next case. And then what is the Vatican going to say?

The Church leaders seem to have a complete inability to recognize an attack on the Church when it occurs. They are even less likely to explain what the attack is, who is behind it, and what the enemies of the Church want to accomplish.

The failure of the Church leaders to handle the sexual abuse charges correctly in country after country has paved the way for an attack on the Papacy. If the past inadequate response to the charges is not corrected, an extremely damaging assault on the Church's authority is about to begin.

The message to the Vatican is "WAKE UP!"

Catholic Church, in Today's News 02.23.10

Catholic Church. Zenit press service reports today that sexual abuse charges are now being made in Germany. "Around 100 former students [in certain Jesuit schools] have come forward in recent days reporting they were abused; most were students at one school."

The German Catholic episcopal conference has responded in perfectly predictable fashion. Archbishop Zollitsch, "I apologize in the name of the Catholic Church in Germany to all those who are victims of that crime." The next steps will undoubtedly be to admit guilt and to offer sizable cash settlements. 

This approach is the 'American model' of how to handle sexual abuse charges. The Irish church leaders have recently charted the same course.

Is there anyone in a position of responsibility in world Catholicism that notices a pattern? Is it possible that perhaps these charges against the Church are being planned and orchestrated on a country by country basis with one aim in mind: to destroy the authority of the Church? Is there anyone who realizes that to try to appease these forces only emboldens these enemies of the Church?

Does it occur to anyone in the Church leadership that 100 people just don't come together spontaneously? Do they have any suspicion that someone(s) is working hard to organize the charges, someone who doesn't have the best interests of the Church in mind? Do they think that maybe, just maybe the German situation is occurring because this style of attack has been so 'successful' in the United States?

The response to the charges that will save the Church is to tell the truth about what these charges represent and who is behind these charges that occur in country after country. Tell the truth that a conscious attack is being made on the Church. Tell the truth about how only the Church is being charged but not other public institutions that have far worse abuse situations. Then in this context determine guilt through Church investigation without governmental interference. Set a standard of guilty conduct, do not accept without question the trumped-up charges being made. Make clear this investigation is Church business and that the Church will handle it. Where apologies are required, they should be made after a clear determination of guilt.

There seems to be little hope that German church leaders (like the American and Irish, and their mentors in the Vatican) will ever recognize an attack on them when it occurs. As a result the Church becomes weaker and weaker, and its authority plummets. 

What is needed is a Joan-of-Arc-type figure. Someone who is unafraid to tell the truth and to take decisive, militant action to defend the Church and its best interests.

Ireland, in Today's News 07.22.09

Ireland. From the news wire today: "A report of the Catholic Church cover-up of child abuse in Dublin details 'horrific acts of depravity' for decades, Ireland's justice minister said Tuesday. Another investigation two months ago found scores of church-run schools, orphanages and reformatories harbored child abusers in religious orders from the 30s to the 90s."

The Church in Ireland and the Vatican chose to not fight this attack on the Church. The aim of the reports is to destroy the influence built up through centuries of Catholic practice in Ireland. 

When the first report was published, the Church leaders decided to take the "American" approach of not fighting, expressing remorse, and handing over gobs of money. (See previous blogs on this subject here.) Presumably they thought that would settle things. As usual their judgement was atrocious.

Not fighting only encourages the attackers. Their language has now escalated to a charge of "horrific acts of depravity." And this won't be the end of it. Before long the charges will escalate even more.

The accommodationist policy of the Church leaders will lead to the certain destruction of any meaningful Catholic influence on Irish society and individuals. And it means that millions and millions of money that was contributed by hard-working Irish faithful will now be turned over to enemies of the Church.

Every shyster who can practice law in Ireland will soon be there to make their fortune via legal suits against the Church.

If the Church leaders had any backbone they would tell the truth that this is a conscious pre-meditated attack on the Church, and that it will be met with determined counter action. To the extent that there were abuses in the Church, the Church will deal with them in no uncertain terms.

MIchael Jackson, in Today's News 06.26.09

Michael Jackson. The media coverage of Michael Jackson's demise is unconscionable and hypocritical.

This commentator had to sit in a car dealer waiting room today trapped in front of the television for a couple of hours during the morning talk shows. Incredibly no other news was covered, only Michael Jackson. Even Farrah Fawcett was slighted. One would think that a major figure in world history, nay universe history, had passed away. And then the coverage was all adulation. Not a word of Jackson's scandalous past, including his being charged with sexual abuse of children.

If a well-known Catholic priest who had been accused of sexual abuse of children died suddenly, the media would only talk about the dark spot in the priest's background. Michael Jackson dies and nary a word of his dark past is spoken. Just the opposite, he is elevated to a great cultural icon. 

Window Laws, in Today's News 06.11.09

Window Laws. Appeasement seldom works. It usually only encourages the aggressor to be even more aggressive. Such is the case of the Catholic Church's appeasement in its handling of the sex-abuse scandals in the United States. The failure of the Church leaders to recognize a full blown attack on the reputation of the Church, to roll over and play dead, and then to hand over millions and millions of dollars has only whetted the appetite of those out to get the Church.

Now the Church leaders face the new escalation of the scandal in the form of "window laws" which attempt to bypass statute of limitation laws.  WSJ: "But triggered by high-profile scandals of abuse at the hand of Catholic priests, some of which occurred decades ago, a few states have seen the need for 'window laws' that temporarily open the courts again to allow past grievances to be remedied through civil actions, although not criminal prosecutions."

And so now the Church leaders are forced to fight a rear-guard action to prevent the adoption of a clearly unconstitutional law that further imperils the Church with allegations that are virtually impossible to disprove given the passage of decades of time. "Defense attorneys say many of the abuse cases that were brought in California and now in Delaware name perpetrators and religious superiors who are dead or retired. The only point, says some attorneys, is to wrench money from the Catholic Church. 'It's almost impossible to defend the cases,' says Mark Chopko, the former counsel for the US Conference of Catholic Bishops..." (Emphasis added.)

The only reason the Church leaders find themselves attempting to stop the 'window laws' is because the opposition sees the leaders as easy marks. The trial lawyers have already extracted enormous amounts of money from the Church without much of a fight by the Church leaders. Why not go for more? Why not see if they can break the Church's finances and reputation?

The accommodationist policies of the Church leaders, adopted primarily out of Vatican II, lead to messes like this. The way things are going, it is going to have to take divine intervention to get the Church leaders to remember and act on the words of Jesus (Matthew 10:26), "Behold I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves." (!!!!!)

1.  Ireland.  WSJ. "An Irish report concluded children were abused in Catholic-run institutions that operated until the 1990s."  The report is the product of The Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse set up by the Irish government.  The report, which fails to identify perpetrators, alleges beatings, rape and molestation in dozens of Catholic-run institutions.

And so, the cryptocracy campaign to destroy the influence of the Church in Ireland has reached its final stage.  The Christ-haters in the cryptocracy have long targeted the Church in Ireland because it is a bulwark of Catholicism in Europe and the world, and a supplier of priests to the world.  The cryptocracy-inspired secularization of Ireland has been running apace for some time now.  Attacks on the Church have become more and more common as the country has abandoned its Catholic heritage.

Now comes the semi-legal attack on sexual abuse.  The model is the United States where this sort of campaign has been so successful.  The blueprint is to find the inevitable abuse cases, publicize them out of all proportion to reality, generalize in the media that the abuse is characteristic of the entire Church, and sue the pants off the Church. The sine qua non of the campaign is to inveigle the Church hierarchy to be apologetic instead of fighting back. 

The Irish report is typical.  It says the abuse occurred in dozens of institutions without naming them.  It places the abuse in the past (1930s to 1970s) which makes it more difficult to disprove the allegations.  The report alleges systematic abuse without systematic proof.  The report makes vague accusations and does not identify perpetrators (that will be left to trial attorneys who will be going after the big bucks.)  It pulls on heart strings by saying victims had difficulties in later life. All in all, a clever attempt at a complete smear of the Church.

This type of slanderous and scurrilous attack on the Church can only be successful if the Church leaders adopt a stance of saying they're sorry and then handing over the money.  That is what happened in the United States and it is what will happen in Ireland in all likelihood.

The question remains: what will the Vatican do?  If past behavior is any guide, the Vatican will say very little and what it does say will be so general as to be meaningless.

The truth is that the purveyors of shoah Catholicism have little interest in the continuation of a strong, traditional Catholic culture.  The ultimate goal of the Shoah Catholicism advocates is a Church based on the Noahide 'laws', which lead to a sort of universal all-encompassing Church.  Countries that were bastions of the Church like Ireland, Poland and Croatia have no place in the future Church as they see it.

2.  The New Government-Controlled Economy.  WSJ.  In an article titled "U.S. Rescue Aid Entrenched Itself," the following observation occurs, "Many of the other emergency measures created to prop up the financial system are developing an air of permanence."

This comes as no surprise to those in the know, of course.  The cryptocracy's job right now is to begin to acquaint the public with the new reality of government control that was forced through under cover of an economic emergency.  And so, now comes the spin that the emergency measures may have to stick around for a while.
