Popes have helped cover up the rampant pedophilia in the Catholic church for DECADES. Does that sound like someone who supports "freedom and liberty"? Yes, but only if it's for them.
NORTH ATTLEBORO, Massachusetts -- Former North Attleboro priest James Porter told Pope Paul VI in 1973 that he had been sexually molesting children, nearly 20 years before victims stepped forward to reveal the abuse they had suffered. Porter's confession is among newly released records which show that Catholic church officials -- including the late Cardinal Humberto Medeiros -- knew of child molestation allegations against Porter as far back as the 1960s. The court document is among hundreds of pages obtained by the Boston Herald and reported today.[/p] Porter's personnel file included a 17-page letter he wrote to Pope Paul VI in which he asked to be removed from the priesthood. The file was forwarded to the Vatican in 1973.[/p] In the letter addressed to `Most Holy Father,' Porter, who was a priest at St. Mary's Church in North Attleboro during the early 1960s, recounts that Fall River Bishop James Connolly knew he had been caught molesting a boy, and Connolly sent him home to be with his family until the scandal died down.[/p] " 'A short time later Bishop Connolly gave me another chance and assigned me to Sacred Heart Parish in Fall River', Porter wrote. 'I can't recollect much about my stay there except after a short time I again fell into the same situation that plagued me in North Attleboro'."[/p] Porter has admitted to molesting at least 50 children while he was a priest in the Diocese of Fall River in the 1960's. He pleaded guilty to molesting 28 children in 1993 after victims formed a group in 1992 and detailed the abuse against them."[/p] This information is simply and totally unbelievable! Let us review these terrible revelations again, one by one:[/p] 1. Tortured Pedophile priest, James Porter, wrote a 17-page letter to "His Holiness", Pope Paul VI, completely confessing his sexual molestation and rape of children. Porter then asked to be relieved of his duties, undoubtedly because he did not want to continue his compulsive sexual abuse![/p] [p style="font-weight: bold;"]2. "[font color="#ff0000"]His Holiness[/font]", Pope Paul VI, did nothing! He took no action. He did not care about the plight of the poor innocent children one little bit. [/p] [p style="font-weight: bold;"]3. The only action recorded was that the Bishop moved Porter to the Fall River Diocese, where Porter proceeded to molest and rape 50 more children over the years he was serving there![/p] 4. Not only did Pope Paul VI know that Porter was raping children, but so did Fall River Bishop James Connolly and the late Cardinal Humberto Medeiros! Yet, not one of them ever, ever contacted the police. Not one of them ever took the common sense step of reassigning "Father" Porter so he could not have access to children. [/p] It almost seems that Father Porter's superiors have a vested interest in keeping him supplied with little boys! [/p] As a matter of fact, sexual perversions -- both heterosexual and homosexual -- have been occurring within the Roman Catholic priesthood for the past 800 years![/p] However, this kind of protection of offending priests smacks of another angle -- the [font color="#ff0000"]protection secret societies have always given their members![/font][/p]
