THIS TIME IT WAS SCHÖNBORN’S TURN by *** On July 13, 2017 Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, archbishop of Vienna, spoke for four hours in two conferences and a question-and-answer session at Mary Immaculate College in Limerick, Ireland. The Austrian cardinal spoke in the context of the event "Let's Talk Family: Let's Be Family,” which is part of a series of assemblies organized in preparation for the world meeting of families (1), under the direction of the dicastery for the laity, family, and life, which will be held in Dublin from August 21 to 28, 2018. After reading the reporting on the event offered by the main specialized media outlets (2), I cannot help but note that when it comes to the “dubia” submitted to the pope by four cardinals, everyone is answering them except for him; and that in this way to the chaotic chorus of the most disparate comments and interpretations of “Amoris Laetitia” - which do anything but clarify for the faithful and confessors the problems raised by the document - there has been added a new voice, or better, a new fog.

  • Vítimas De Pedofilia Na Igreja Divulgam Lista Negra De Papáveis Sociologia Enviado Por: [email protected] Postado Em:07/03/2013
    Disciplina - Sociologia - Vítimas de pedofilia na Igreja divulgam lista negra de papáveis Sociologia Enviado por: [email protected] Postado em:07/03/2013 Uma associação americana de vítimas de abusos sexuais por padres pedófilos publicou, nesta quarta-feira, uma lista negra de doze possíveis candidatos a Papa e exortou à Igreja Católica a levar a sério a proteção das crianças, a ajuda às vítimas e as denúncias de corrupção. "Queremos dizer aos prelados católicos que deixem de fingir que o pior já passou" sobre o escândalo de pedofilia dentro da Igreja, declarou David Clohessy, diretor da Rede de Sobreviventes de Abusados por Padres (Snap, na sigla em inglês). "Tragicamente, o pior com certeza ainda estar por vir", indicou Clohessy, ao acrescentar que a verdade dos abusos e encobrimentos "generalizados há muito tempo e profundamente arraigados ainda não chegou à superfície na maioria das nações". A organização citou uma dúzia de cardeais da Argentina, Austrália, Canadá, Estados Unidos, Gana, Honduras, Itália, México e República Tcheca acusados de proteger os padres pedófilos ou por realizar declarações defendendo os padres ou minimizando a situação. Todos eles são considerados candidatos a sucessão do Papa Bento XVI, muito criticado pela forma como conduziu os escândalos. A Snap também se opõe à eleição de qualquer membro da Cúria romana, a administração da Santa Sé. "Acreditamos que ninguém de dentro do Vaticano tem verdadeira vontade de 'limpar a casa' no Vaticano ou em outras partes", indicou Clohessy em um comunicado. "Promover um membro da Cúria desencorajaria as vítimas, as testemunhas, os denunciantes e seus defensores a relatar más condutas", ressaltou.

  • Clerical Pedophilia by Mexicans in Mexico and Other Countries 1944-2013
    Clerical Pedophilia by Mexicans in Mexico and Other Countries 1944-2013 Report by CSOs and Mexican Nationals to the Committee on the Rights of the Child _______________________________________________ December 2013 Executive Summary Importance of the Shadow Report for the Committee on the Rights of the Child. We regard the Holy See’s appearance before the Committee on the Rights of the Child as an historic opportunity to ensure that organizations such as those in the Holy See -State - Vatican - Catholic Church - which claim their superiority and privileges over local and even international authorities and do not accept any kind of formal responsibility, as a signatory state of the Convention and the subsequent Treaties, should be addressed as being responsible for thousands of cases of sexual abuse committed in many parts of the world, for many years, due precisely to their structural behavior of protection and the complicit cover-up of abusers. They should therefore be held accountable for the violation of articles in the Convention because of their contempt and systematic violation of the rights and higher interest of girls and their preference for covering-up perpetrators rather than protecting and safeguarding victims. This institutional behavior which involved all the levels of authority of the Organization, should be regarded as a STATE CRIME by the Committee on the Rights of the Child. This will help, first and foremost, to restore the dignity and fundamental rights to victims and even enable the organization represented by the Holy See and its authorities, national authorities and all of humanity, to ensure that this type of behavior will never again be repeated in our history, by arguing and claiming to have a superior divine origin to the authorities tasked with safeguarding the rights of the world’s children.

  • An Interview with Carlo Cardinal Caffarra
    “Only a blind man can deny that there is great confusion in the Church.” An interview with Carlo Cardinal Caffarra Published in Il Foglio By Matteo Matzuzzi January 14, 2017 Translated by Andrew Guernsey “The division among shepherds is the cause of the letter that we wrote to Francis. [The division is] not its effect. Insults and threats of canonical sanctions are unworthy things.” “A Church with little attention to doctrine is not more pastoral, just more ignorant.” Bologna - “I believe that some things must be clarified. The letter - and the attached dubia - were reflected on at length, for months, and were discussed at length among ourselves. For my part, they were prayed about at length before the Blessed Sacrament.” Cardinal Carlo Caffarra starts by saying this, before beginning a long conversation with Il Foglio on the now famous letter “of the four cardinals” sent to the Pope to ask him for clarification in relation to Amoris Laetitia, the exhortation which summed up the double Synod on the family, and which has unleashed much debate – not always with grace and elegance – [both] inside and outside the Vatican walls. “We were aware that the action we were taking was very serious. Our concerns were twofold. The first was not to scandalize the little ones in the faith. For us pastors, this is a fundamental obligation. The second concern was that no person, whether a believer or not a believer, should be able to find in the letter expressions that even remotely could appear in the slightest lacking in respect towards the Pope.

Abusive clergy were quietly moved from parish to parish, school to school, diocese to diocese, and sometimes overseas. Others were secretly sacked.
