Default Child Rape International's Chicago office having legal trouble

This Chicago-based Catholic order is keeping secrets about child-molesting clergy around the United States - Chicago Sun-Times

Quote:
Key findings
  • The Order of Friar Servants of Mary, commonly known as the Servites, has its U.S. headquarters in Chicago, but it maintains no public list of credibly accused members despite calls for transparency.
  • One church watchdog group counts 11 Servites accused of child sex abuse over the years, and the order has been accused of covering up for some offenders.
  • Ther are at least nine pending lawsuits against the Servites stemming from alleged abuse by a former Chicago priest who allegedly molested numerous children in California years ago.
  • A California law that temporarily lifted the statute of limitations on child sex abuse claims has flooded the courts there, and the impact is being felt in Chicago.
  • Public lists of credibly accused clergy maintained by the Archdiocese of Chicago and the Diocese of Rockford omit as many as four Servites.

News Re: Child Rape International's Chicago office having legal trouble

There are 435 other topics here that have zero responses. Zero, none.

Now there are 434.

This topic, which is a bellwether for what is actually happening, worldwide, SHOULD HAVE HAD AT LEAST ONE RESPONSE you motherfuckers.

It's not just the Catholics, but for some reason they get the most press. Which is almost none of course.

Mormons, Jehovah Witness, Baptists, Jews, Scientology, Muslims, Hindus and Protestants, even the Amish, you name a religion and you will find it.

Some of this shit is fucking unbelievable.

Some of it is just business as usual

The same shit goes on in Hollywood, and the music industry, it is happening everywhere. All the time.

Hey I am probably just like you, my mind recoils from it. It's easy to forget about it. Even easier to not respond to a topic about it..

So, what sort of response would you consider appropriate?
It's not just the Clergy where such activity is common. Cops, Firemen, Counselors, Shrinks, Uncles, older siblings,..., even Dads and Moms all over the fucking world abuse their own kids.

What kind of discussion can even seem logical?
It's fucking Madness.

Just askin'

I agree. My response wasn't so much in the spirit of "Hey we should discuss this", but more about how so very many topics are created, that get zero response. There are another 367 topics that have one response.

Meaning somebody responded, but the OP didn't reply to the lone person who responded.

So that is over 800 topics, that either had no response, or a single response, that the O-Poster did not respond to.

That is a huge number, more than 1 in 8 topics created never went anywhere. But that isn't even the oddest thing. Some of the topics with zero responses have almost a thousand views.

Now that could be bots scraping the forum, because I don't think there has ever been a thousand members here.

It's just an oddity, and yes, I am quite sure not a single person here (that would be almost a dozen) cares. I can understand that.

This is pretty much an echo chamber, a very small one. Made smaller with each passing day.

Yeah I know, what an odd fellow.

Here's hoping this 93-year-old piece of shit from the Archdiocese of New Orleans lives long enough to get a real taste of the Louisiana prison experience.

This. This. This.

And that message carries across a huge range of circumstances.

A man who was a survivor of childhood rape and abuse by a Roman Catholic priest, dies of old age and goes to heaven.

When he meets God he tells him a joke about being raped by his priest.








God says "That isn't funny"









The man says, "I guess you had to be there"
