| Msg 10 On the news last night of 21 priests brought to trial who received a custodial sentence 13 are still officially listed as priests.This means they are still housed and looked after by the Church.It was recommended by, I think Lord Nolan,that any priest receiving a sentence of more than 12 months should no longer be allowed to practice,but this is not agreed with by the Catholic Church.I think the German Cardinal summed up what is thought of the UK by the Catholic Church when he said we were a 3rd World Country. |

| Was watching Sky News and they had a gay priest on who had been told he could no longer run a church since he'd come clean. Whilst being interviewed he claimed MORE THEN HALF of all Catholic PRIESTS were gay...makes you wonder how large scale the Peado ring actually is |

| I was brought up to be Roman Catholic. I HATED IT. I went to a catholic junior school, was made to sit through an hour and half latin mass as a child. My dad had to convert, so he could marry my mom, he hated the religion and evrything it stood for, I remember when they used to collect forDr Barnado,s he told me what was going on, He was later proved right My Mother his a devout R. C. and has put the church before her whole family, she is a hypocrite, and had affairs with her friends husband from church. but she can go to confession and cleanse herself. I used to try to ask my mom, how can a priest who has no proper knowledge of real life, IE. having a wife and a family, etc how can he be looked upon. Did you ever watch the TV series the Lakes. It is in the DVD shop at Alsancak. On a lighter note . I remember my mom telling me it was an honour to kiss the bishops ring. But I decided to pass on that one. |

| And Goonerboy, msg 15, you make the common mistake of assuming that gay means paedo. WRONG!!! I think something like 96% of paedophile attacks on children occur within the close family by so-called HETEROSEXUAL members of that family! |

| Dusterbruce Msg 22 You must realise that the present pope was given the responsibility by the previous pope to sort out and get rid of the child abusing priests. He did very little to clear up the problem and in fact just sat on the reports and did very little. This is hardly a comparison to what happened 50 years ago, considering the present leader of Germany was not responsible for the actions of the Nazis party. |

| there has been cover up of the child abuse investigation within the church and many other religions for many years. there was a cover up in care homes too which only came to light about 16 years ago or should I say was only taken seriously then. It is not just the catholic church but many organisations that hide behind love care bla bla bla as these institutions are the very ones that abusers use as the most common feature of an abuser is to first get trust and then uses other means like fear. A complicated subject which will never never go away and we are only just at the tip of an iceberg look at the recent case in Portugal. These people in power ie the pope etc have a way to deal with them . They should never be in the priesthood ever . as I think has already been pointed out being gay is in no way connected to being a paedophile. Paedophiles range from family to all professions and one of the hardest offences to prove in a criminal court |

| There's no doubt that the World has it's far share of neanderthals. The originator of this thread fits the bill nicely. A lot of people in the entertainments business are gay (care to comment Johnny). Quarmby your in a category of your own. Bigot should fit well! To the member that linked homosexually with pedophilia just exactly how thick are you? |

| I find it dispicable that one single penny of our money is being spent on protecting the Pope on his visit........the Catholic church is rich as croesus, they have a HUGE property portfolio; the Vatican being a town in its own right, with its own Bank - can WELL afford to provide for itself. For Catholicism to encourage the spread of aids by banning birth control, and positing marriage is for procreation.......(what about couples who have no parental instinct whatsoever) - oh - can't be bothered to go on - I LOATHE all Religion....... |

| johnnylee; Dr Barnardo's? what has that institution got to do with catholicism? Also were you abused at your RC school or church? Paedophilia seems to be rife among our ruling classes and people who espouse alternative sexual practices (Peter Tatchell condemns the Pope but a few years ago said sex with young boys was natural) where's the condemnation? It's disgusting but it isn't the sole preserve of the catholic church. |

Message 4 - Msgarnet, Why do you hate all religions, you must have studied them for years. Please explain further I dont really understand how ridding the world of faith would save many millions of lives. |

| typical bored expats in a muslim country, with nothing better to do than slag off a man of principles, sadly as you all forget peados are not exclusive to the catholic faith , they are in your street on the inter net. every where you go ,any one you see could be a pedeo. give credit to the older generation who belive in the pope and god , this is how their faith carries them through the long dark days of their lives, when they have deaths ,illnesses in their lives , a belief in something helps them through the day. not pratts like you who think they no better.

| rowlo i really like you but i take great exception st your comment. As you know I'm Irish and as such a catholic. I never saw abuse in the church but saw a lot in the family,as i have read many books regarding this subject in uk usa etc. I believe more goes on in the family. Especially as the mum will have several lovers and the poor kids several step dads. look at the statistics. Yes the catholic church is guilty as is the other denominations, Go to any childrens home and See it. it goes on and on. The order of god should be that not suffer little children to come to me. I am an Irish catholic and hate what i se and read. Two of my cousins are nuns in the Congo and 5 are missionaries. I would hate to think that the great work they do is subjected to child abuse. more goes on in the home. I agree that our present pope should address the issues, but to this day it goes on in childrens homes all over. i could write books on it x |

| Lilli - you are absolutely (and sadly) correct. This has always gone on and, sadly, always will do, although hopefully less now than in the past. You will probably also remember the Magdalen Girls - those poor kids who were made pregnant before they were married, or perhaps a little bit slow, who were incarcerated in Ireland in the 50's. You've probably read books on them, like I have. The Catholic church is held in far less esteem in traditional Catholic countries, e.g. Ireland and Italy, than it used to be, mainly because younger generations can see the hypocrisy that has surrounded it for so many years. My great grandmother lived in mortal fear of the priest. However, no-one should denounce the fact that many people draw a lot of comfort from their faith - I am not one of them, being an atheist - but each to their own. As has been said on here, what's with the sweeping generalisation that all priests are paedophiles? Paedophilia unfortunately goes on in all walks of life. |

| personally it is not the abuse (not excusing it ) but the bare faced denial and even convicted priest/clergy are not struck off , but it is hidden , same theroy as bent coppers ( sorry bent wrong word) , dishonest politicians or dodgy developers........... again one rule for one ...................... btw personally think all religion is up to the individual , but most free thinking people have thier own opinions .. |

| We should not be surprised that the priesthood attracts a disproportionately high number of abusers... There are obvious opportunities provided by the mystery and contact with vulnerable people to see how this would be so. It's the same with all institutions where vulnerable children are in contact with adults... The home, the orphanage, the boarding school, the scout troop.... all unfortunately act as a magnet for those unable to resist their urges. What is shocking is that the Church of all institutions on discovering this, sought to hide it and protect the perpetrators... that is a betrayal of trust which outweighs all other crimes against these children. If the Church can't be trusted, the Church should not exist. |

| mad turk if the man of principles had principles then there would not be such an outcry. i agree religion gives hope and faith to many yet at the same time that same thing destroys many. I do not think it is expats having nothing better to do than slag him off it is because yet again it is so topical and even more abhorent as it is the church. As I said of course it goes on in all walks of life i know I dealt with them and nothing sadly surprises me or shocks me anymore but there is even worse I can assure you and in most peoples minds its abuse in the home that always comes to mind. The abuse that goes on in places of religion or care etc etc seem to shock the most given the nature of what has taken place and will continue then I think expats or anyone has a right to voice an opinion surely of something that is of such importance |

This thread should be closed without delay it is insulting and offensive.there are child abuse victims in most religions and denominations. |

| Msg 43 - It isn’t obvious? DEPENDING ON THE FAITH, extremist followers deem that apostates are to be killed by their erstwhile peers, for having a mind of their own and choosing the faith they want to follow, women are subjugated, forced by male relatives to cover themselves totally, however hot the weather, not allowed to be educated, drive cars, endure female and male circumcision, carry out heinous acts, yet every Sunday, say sorry – are told to say ten Hail Mary’s to gain forgiveness, then start all over again the next week. Women are made to shave their heads, wear wigs, then scarves over the wig (you just couldn’t make half this rubbish up) otherwise intelligent educated people live their lives NOT by using their own minds, but according to what a book written aeons ago, tells them to – women are forced into arranged marriage, buried up to their necks and stoned to death (males buried only up to their waists :o(), prevented from declaring their sexuality if Gay (cont): |

| undergo divisive education via Faith schools, can’t marry outside of their Faith, if they do, are disowned, bombings, deaths, misery, carnage, rapes, families torn asunder, bodies ripped apart, children marginalised and disenfranchised by their parents faith, babies die because their brainwashed parents won’t allow blood transfusion – one could write fifty books on the lunacy of Faith – whatever is wrong with thinking for yourself, that you have to let someone you will NEVER meet, think for you, tell you how to live your life - leaders of these Faiths have hedonistic avaricious lifestyles with unlimited amounts of money available to them, whilst their followers often live in straitened circumstances yet still give to their Faiths, what little cash they have - the millions the world over who have been killed maimed or destroyed in the name of Religion, beggars belief. |

| JamesB-I don't hate people (if your remark is directed towards me) who label themselves as adhering to a Faith. I DO hate the misery that millions endure in the name of, or because of, Faith. We are all born Faithless; it is our families or peer group or society that suck huge tranches of society in to letting Religion direct, inform, contaminate, decide, instruct et cetera, how to live our lives, instead of raising us to think for ourselves, take responsibility for our own actions and not (like Bush and Blair for instance) displace it onto our particular God. Islam, Catholocism, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Budhism, Rastafari and so forth. Religious people do belong to cults, and of course I DID make mention of extremists as being the most dangerous form of follower of any Faith, that said, anyone declaring themselves as a follower of any Faith, is saying, they don't think entirely for themselves, to a greater or lesser degree, an unknown decides their life path 4 them |

| Amerillo - one has a blind Faith, if one has a Faith that doesn't brook any questioning of its tenets or mores. A blind Faith is the most dangerous faith of all, because it won't entertain questioning or others needs for clarification or justification of what it stands for. If one believes that how one thinks and what one does, is morally and socially acceptable, one puts that argument forward, and explains why, just as those of us that think Faith is heinous, have given our reasons why we think the way we do. |

| Amerillo, I take it you want the BBC off the air too? This thread is not anti Roman Catholicism it's anti covering up wrong-doing or perverted priests and teachers.... The very people one is meant to be able to turn to in a moment of need who have betrayed that trust and now it seems with impunity provided by the very church they have betrayed. Sorry but these things are grist to our mill and if you don't like us discussing the topic I suggest you either don't read the thread or go elsewhere. At lowest you should ask yourself if your faith is not misplaced. Oh and read Rule 5 about freedom of speech... we take that very seriously here too. |

| I agree DesiH (as an Agnostic) but it is the sort of ignorant rubbish you get on here at times. Married men abuse their own children, and it happens all over the world unfortunately. There were thousands of welcoming people in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and now in England with thousands of saltires (St. Andrew's flags) |

| As a percentage of the Church as a whole though it is for its size the highest in the world... i.e. maybe one in a hundred thousand in the general population and more than a thousand in the Church... it's a horrific concentration of evil doing.... and it still goes back to the cover up... OK the abuse happens in the big bad world but when someone in authority is told about it.... they usually do something about it... this has not been the experience in the RC Church... has it? As head of that Church and ex-Prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith: 1981–2005 responsible directly for the disciplining of Priests caught carrying out acts of paedophilia I think it's fair to ask, given the church's record on this subject, whether he is fit to hold such a position. In politics we'd expect a Minister to resign if he'd failed his subjects so miserably... Blind faith is not the answer. |

| as I have said before it makes no differance if its religion or care homes or schools or in the family whatever and wherever it is a crime that is committed by the very people who are under the guise of caring that is what these offenders use for their prey I have dealt with many paedophiles and they are from all walks of life from lower social classes to the people in power. it is a sick crime and even sicker when its happening and not being dealt with by the powers that should and have the power to at least rid their organisation of them. this thread could be discussed for ever and the crimes will continue for ever it is not about religion its about the corruption within that allows these people to continue but organised paedophile rings have very prominent connections and power! |

| I thororoughly concur with MsGarnet's and Groucho's eloquent expose [sorry, no ecute symbol!] of this sickening paedophilia subject. Of course it occurs, and continues to do so, and globally - but this thread is topical, and rightly so. During the Pope's speech to the assembled children, I was highly amused to see that when BBC's camera focused on them, they were yawning, giggling and not taking the slightest bit of notice of all the euphemistic claptrap he was mouthing. Maybe there IS hope for this generation of children if they are raised as free-thinkers, and not as a 'mob of sheep', blindly following some cranky religion's leader, or that religion's outmoded doctrine! |

| newscoop yes it probably would, but it isn't. Its about the hypocrisy of a man who is head of a religion and he was put in a position by the previous pope to sort out the abusive catholic priests and he just sat back and let it continue and now we have to listen to him preaching how morallity has deterioated in the world and he thinks we should look towards the church as a saviour to all of this. He is a hypocrite. |

| Hiya news you took the words right out of my mouth. I do think our pope should address the situation. It can never be right when some one you trust uses this power but as I said look at the ones brought to justice, from Mps to low life, social worker , children's homes , your own homes etc it goes on the world over sadly, Its not right no child should live with that fear or that memory. Religion is going away from us all as kids today have a choice in the western world. Why should pope benedict sort it out when its been going on for years and no other pope addressed it. I do hope he takes the time to address it though as its hampering the visit. Quarmby he wasn't put in a position by the previous pope, they are voted in by the cardinals, as i recall it was quite a drawn out affair |

| "Why should pope benedict sort it out when its been going on for years and no other pope addressed it." Lilli, I can't believe you said this... it beggars belief. The point being made is not anti Catholic... it's anti perverted priests getting away with it. There is nothing wrong with being Catholic. There is a lot wrong with paedophilia. "Let him/her that is without sin, cast the first stone." Tiggy, yes we all commit sins and should not be thinking of stoning anybody to death - but does that excuse a filthy priest his base urges and actions? I don't think so - I think they need to be bought to justice otherwise, what price the good name of the Church? Next you'll (all those who think this is best not discussed) will thinking about excusing bent cops, crooked lawyers, unqualified doctors, embezzling accountants, drug dealers, pimps and bank robbers..... If priests don't re-establish a position of trust... would you want your child to come under their influence? |

| The conclusion to the last report is particularly interesting: http://cliffy.typepad.com/cliffy/2010/03/catholic-priests-arent-the-only-ones-abusing-children-wicked-cliffy.html I don't mean to suggest that it excuses anything but it does put it into perspective and suggests that if the sort of abuse levelled at the catholic church by some on here is justified then it should also be levelled at other groups such as teachers. The reality seems to be that maybe a couple of percent of catholic priests have abused, rather less than in some other groups. I would have thought that statistically speaking this level of abuse, rather lower than the general population, should have been predictable given what the church heirarchy would have known about these things and procedures should have been in place to look for and prevent it. It obviously wasn't in any meaningful way and there is the real fault in my view. |

| I have read this thread with interest and feel that as often happens in any debate (not just on 44) it has the problem of being reduced to the lowest common denominator. We have had on here promulgated the idea that all homosexuals are paedophiles, all priests are paedophiles, the Pope is himself dubious and sick jokes. On the other side the idea that an any attack on the institution that is the Catholic Church is an attack on Catholics themselves. None of the above are true, and the real problems and hopefully solutions are lost in such vapid rhetoric. The very title of the thread is wrong. The Catholic Church as an institution has generally failed to act responsibly in the light of some sickening crimes carried out by, for want of a better word, some of its officers, people who get a special degree of respect through being officers of the Church. As an institution therefore it has let its own members and the rest of the world down. The institution is culpable, not all Catholics. |

In Argentine, it is allowed to practice sex in the age of thirteen. In Canada, until 1890, the allowed age of consent was twelve years (6). Similarly, the age of consent in Mexico is twelve years. In Panama and Philippine, the age of consent is twelve years. In Spain (7), Cyprus (8), South Korea, the age of consent is thirteen, while in Bolivia, the sexual age of consent is the maturity age (9) |

| Armadildo Two wrongs never make a right... if the social morays of those times accepted such things then it should come as no surprise that such things did indeed happen - and just go with me here - I'm hoping that we have moved on and evolved from those times and now regard the raping and buggering of children as not an act commensurate with being a man of God whose job it is to protect the moral and physical well-being of and in particular the young people who most need society's protection... Quoting one man's error never excused another... or did it? You tell me.... |

| Yet again you betray your inability to see that quoting one man's wrong doing can not excuse another's... Religious institutions in particular have a special responsibility to their flock. If they betray that trust, then what price their good name. I have no problem with religions and every problem with those who use a religion to cloak their and/or others nefarious activities and possibly even more problems with those who seek to deny the victims justice. You tell me... a young boy comes to you and says 'that priest tried to stick his willy in me'... do you say 'don't worry boy that other man over there - he buggers boys too' I think not but you tell me what the response should be.... |

| Dusterbruce Because the admins on here are neither objective nor professional. They allow their own personal views to overide their responsibility. They also favour certain posters over others. They can also let the "Pope" thread run because there is no possibility of a serious response from anyone. On they other hand they are frightened of the possibilities when the Prophet is abused. There very actions show that they are not fit to be admins. If a thread attacked one of their "friends" it would be closed in minutes. |

| Amerillo, you obviously don't understand what hypocrisy is... But here's an example just to help you... It would be hypocritical to admonish the Pope if your were in favour of his actions in hiding the paedophilia within the church... or to support his position if you are against hiding the paedophilia within the church. I don't think anybody has been supporting transgressing Imams or anybody else for that matter whilst decrying the same behaviour in members of the Roman Catholic Church... as that would be hypocrisy. The thread has been closed because it was not aimed at what is to many members difficult and important subject matter.. namely the wrong doing of people within their own communities who have betrayed their trust and worse still had it covered up... yes worse still. It was a deflection... again two wrongs don't make a right. Or are you saying that some members are hypocrites because they are paedophiles themselves? |

| The difference is quite simple. One thread was posted to discuss or raise the questions that many have over the position of the Pope's State visit to the United Kingdom and the problems in the recent living existence of the victims, of child abuse carried out by some members of the Catholic Church. The other thread was a deliberate and provocative posting with no other purpose than to cause controversy. The thread was closed and because the poster could not take the warning they have had their posting privileges temporarily withdrawn. John W I am happy to admit the the admins on here are not professional, that would surely entail being paid. However, the reasons for my actions are given above, you may not like them but I assure you that they are not driven by favouritism or bias. Harold |

| harold2555 Rule 3 is quite clear. It does not only apply to members. The insults to the pope, the catholic church and its' members has gone far beyond rudeness. Deecyprus4 has been unpleasant in the extreme. There is no way this thread is permitted under rule 3. 3. Be Polite We take the "Be Polite" rule very seriously. We do not tolerate any rudeness. Challenge others' points of view and opinions, but do so respectfully and thoughtfully without insult and personal attack. Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive may be banned without warning. |

| JohnW...Frankly I don't care what you think of me, I will however voice my concerns when it comes to the welfare of children and a Pope that doesn't act and a church that harbours paedophiles...end of mate! |

| Deecyprus I am sure that we have identical views on the actions of some priests (estimated to be from 1% to 3%) and the incompetent and self serving way the church seems to have dealt with them. The important thing seems to me to be the way that the victims are dealt with in future and systems and attitudes changed to ensure it does not happen again. Merely abusing the entire church and its' members is unlikely to help. The vast majority of priests and members are simply not involved in the scandal. Think of you? I didn't say anything of what I think of you, merely commented on the things you said. As I said much of what has been said on this thread is not within rule 3. |

| harold2555 So your interpretation is that we only need to be polite to members of this forum and that we can say anything we like about non members. Do you really believe that? Have you thought about the legal implications? You are flat wrong. |

| I think all of this needs to be put into perspective. Their is a major difference between the Pope and a Prophet. You can't compare the two. If a thread was opened on an Imam, I'm sure it would remain open. Long after the current pope has passed away, the institution of the Catholic Church will remain. |

| I suggest all those who don't want to read discussion of this topic... don't. Don't read it... If your religion can't be questioned when it does something wrong it's not as strong as it ought to be. As the Archbishop of Belgium has declared that not a single diocese in the whole of Belgium has a clean bill of health as far as Paedophilia is concerned I think the estimates of how rife and widespread this problem is are subject to review. How much has yet to be reported by stigmatised children? |

| the problem as i see it is, that the pope in his previous job was supposed to attempt to clean this problem up, not sweep it under the table, he should have identified the priest and handed them over to the legal system, instead of moving them around to commit the same atrocities which has happened in other country's,what has happened as people have said, has happened in all walks of life but the cover up is disgraceful |

| Goonerboy; If you think that if this thread was about an Imam it would remain open then you don't believe Arsene Wenger is sponsored by specsavers. |

| JohnW..I do not accept the percentages you quote and I do not care where they came from, they only represent those that have been found out and I am sure it goes much deeper. |

| They are not my percentages - look to post 128. Good grief, if it is "only" say 3% of priests it is huge. The system was obviously rotten. Nevertheless I was at Catholic Boarding schools for ten years and only ever met one instance. One of my fags (yes we had fags) came to me one day to tell me he was concerned about an interest a master was showing in another boy. I went to the headmaster and said nothing more than "Father, I think there may be a problem with Mr.**** ( a master not a priest) showing an interest in *****. Please will you deal with it." The matter was resolved within the day. My point is that not everybody is bad and it helps nobody to damn everybody. |

| Why is this thread remaining open ? you closed the post about the prophet so why not this, I in no way condone these crimes against young people of either sex, and the perpetrators should be prosecuted whether they are a Catholic priest, a C of E minister or any other religion. |

| This thread is also off topic. The original question was "How sick are we as a nation?" So, should be closed on that basis alone. No one have ever even tried to answer the original question. Come on Harold, do your duty. Incidently I will be taking up with Ezet your proposition that rule 3 does no cover non memebers and it is OK to abuse and insult no memebers to our hearts content. I presume that includes the TRNC president and Ataturk and any stray Imam we decide to pick on. |

| Wasting your time with the izzie chap. He has an automated reply. "I am to busy to deal with Cyprus 44 please refer to the forum admins". Now you've got to either put up with the unfair bias with the clique or stand alone. Don't let the buggers get you down. You could always join me Pikey Jeennie and daisy wats er name, We have a right good giggle teasing and pulling legs. |

| This thread is now closed. I have closed this thread because it has become the latest cause celebre of certain trolls who have an agenda nothing to do with the thread itself but about causing disruption on Cyprus44. It would have been refreshing to have an adult debate on a serious matter but that it appears was not possible. |
