All articles continue at links. What do these articles have in common? They are all about the results of the Crimine Solicitaciones. The Crimine Solicitaciones is the official policy of the Roman Catholic Church. If you want confirmation of that claim, just ask Pope Benedict himself. The Crimine Solicitaciones states that victims of abuse by clergy should keep silent about it, and abusing clergy should be quietly relocated to a new parish. Why is abuse by Roman Catholic clergy so widespread? Because the Holy See has been running a child sex ring with diplomatic immunity for over 30 years. The problem won’t get much better no matter how many millions the Church pays itself, selling its property to itself (or, once in a while, pinching out a penny or two for victims). As long as the Crimine Solicitaciones is the official policy of the Roman Catholic Church this problem will endure right along with it.
