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]
