Abuse Took Years to Ignite Belgian Clergy Inquiry

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/13/world/europe/13belgium.html?_r=1&hpw

WESTVLETEREN, Belgium – Behind an aggressive investigation of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in Belgium that drew condemnation from the pope himself lies a stark family tragedy: the molestation, for years, of a youth by his uncle, the bishop of Bruges; the prelate’s abrupt resignation when a friend of the nephew finally threatened to make the abuse public; and now the grass-roots fury of almost 500 people complaining of abuse by priests.  Read more...

Court lets Vatican-sex abuse lawsuit move forward – Yahoo! News

A lawsuit against the Vatican that had been dismissed as a publicity stunt moved forward when the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal from the Holy See. Monday’s development represents a significant advance for what many believed to be a long-shot claim that the Vatican bears legal responsibility for molester priests.

The high court’s decision not to stop the lawsuit means the clergy sex abuse case will go to trial in an Oregon district court.

The US Supreme Court on Monday declined to examine whether an Oregon resident who allegedly was sexually molested by a Roman Catholic priest as a teenager in the 1960s can sue the Vatican for his abuse. The move allows the litigation to move forward toward a trial.

Pope Begs for Forgiveness for Abuse by Priests – ABC News

http://abcnews.go.com/International/Media/pope-begs-forgiveness-abuse-priests/story?id=10885597

Pope Benedict XVI today asked for forgiveness from God and from the victims of sexual abuse by priests, “particularly the abuse of the little ones.”

Speaking in Italian to a sea of 15,000 white-clad priests attending Mass in St. Peter’s square to celebrate the end of the Year of the Priest, the pope addressed the scandal of abuse by priests at the beginning of his homily.

“We too insistently beg forgiveness from God and from the persons involved, while promising to do everything possible to ensure that such abuse will never occur again,” Benedict said.  Read more... (161 words, 1 image, estimated 39 secs reading time)

Pope begs forgiveness, promises action on abuse

VATICAN CITY – Addressing the clerical abuse scandal from the heart of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI begged forgiveness Friday from victims and promised to “do everything possible” to protect children at a Mass celebrated by 15,000 priests from around the world.

While symbolic, Benedict’s pledge failed to satisfy victims groups who said promises were useless without a clear-cut action plan to root out pedophile priests, expose the bishops who protected them and change the Vatican policies and culture that allowed abuse to continue.  Read more...

Pope Benedict XVI and Church Abuse Crisis: How to Atone – TIME

http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1992171-1,00.html

How do you atone for something terrible, like the Inquisition? Joseph Ratzinger attempted to do just that for the Roman Catholic Church during a grandiose display of Vatican penance — the Day of Pardon on March 12, 2000, a ritual presided over by Pope John Paul II and meant to purify two millenniums of church history. In the presence of a wooden crucifix that had survived every siege of Rome since the 15th century, high-ranking Cardinals and bishops stood up to confess to sins against indigenous peoples, women, Jews, cultural minorities and other Christians and religions.  Read more...

SAO PAULO – A court has ordered the arrest of a Polish priest suspected of sexually abusing a teenager in a Rio de Janeiro suburb and turning his parish home into what the judge described as an “erotic dungeon” for sex with adolescents, authorities said Friday.

State prosecutors have accused Marcin Michael Strachanowski, 44, of handcuffing the 16-year-old former altar boy to a bed three years ago in the parish house where the priest lived and threatening to kill the youth if he spoke of the abuse.  Read more...
