'Endemic' abuse in church-run Irish homes exposed
16 hours ago
DUBLIN (AFP) — Sexual abuse was "endemic" in boys' homes in Ireland and church leaders turned a blind eye to it, according to a major new report on mistreatment in church-run institutions dating back to the 1930s.
The head of the Catholic church in Ireland said he was "profoundly sorry" after publication of the 2,500-page report Wednesday, which said there was a "culture of silence" among authorities about abuse in the state-funded homes.
"Children lived with the daily terror of not knowing where the next beating was coming from," said the report, the result of a nine-year probe. "A climate of fear... permeated most of the institutions and all those run for boys."
The largest-ever probe into Irish religious orders found abusers could "operate undetected for long periods at the core of institutions," while victims were sometimes blamed as having been corrupted and "punished severely."
"Sexual abuse was endemic in boys? institutions," said the long-awaited official report, concluding: "Sexual abuse was known to religious authorities to be a persistent problem in male religious organisations."
It added: "Sexual abuse by members of religious orders was seldom brought to the attention of the Department of Education by religious authorities because of a culture of silence about the issue."

It's a shameful indeed especially mga pari ug madre ang nag-buhat. Just imagine daghan kaayo violations like child labor/molestation, rape, etc.

Unsa ang stand ani sa Vatican?

Ang kabati pa gyud ani is gi-tago ang mga records. Wala gipagawas kinsa ang mga pari ug madre.

Unsa ang stand ani sa Vatican?

according to the link above

The commission said documents found at the Vatican showed that religious orders knew of numerous abuse complaints but covered them up, worried more about scandal than about protecting children.

Buang gyud ang simbahan. Just imagine katong sa LA archdiocese nag-file ug bankruptcy kay nahurot ug bayad sa mga abuses nabuhat sa mga pari. I think murag mao ni ang mo sunod mo file.
