Sex Crimes and the Vatican
Created in 1962, a now infamous document was issued in secret to bishops. Called Crimen Sollicitationis, it outlined procedures to be followed by bishops when dealing with allegations of child abuse, homosexuality and bestiality by members of the clergy. It swore all parties involved to secrecy on pain of excommunication from the Catholic Church.
This document was reissued in 2001 by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and sent to all bishops. Yet rather than ordering more openness and cooperation with the authorities as demanded by both law enforcers and the victims, he reiterated its policies and ensured that the Code of Silence be applied to all cases of child abuse involving a priest. Cardinal Ratzinger also instructed that all cases should now be referred to his office directly and that he would maintain 'exclusive competence' over the handling of allegations. This is the Catholic Church's policy to this day and Cardinal Ratzinger is now Pope Benedict XVI.
The policy laid out in the above document has led to systemic failure by the result that a significant number of priest have, in effect, been allowed to abuse again, and further children have been put at risk.
As the documentary explores, Colm O'Gorman is the man responsible for breaking open decades of abuse by Catholic Priests in Ireland in the BAFTA award-winning BBC special Suing the Pope. He links international 'systemic evidence' to argue the Vatican has a policy to cover up the sexual abuse of thousands of children across the world.
In Sex Crimes and the Vatican O'Gorman explores four separate cases internationally of widespread clerical abuse, putting the Roman Catholic Church on trial for the reckless endangerment of children. O'Gorman raises the question, 'Is the Church in default of its obligation as a signatory to the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child?'
These are not men of God... they are just dirty old men, period.
Now that the bodies of children are being found at catholic mission sites ,when will the abandoned missions on the remote shores of Great Slave Lake be dug up and investigated, all the locals say lots of souls were taken to these places to never be seen again, I think every site the Catholics had should be thoroughly investigated
"Sex Crimes and the Vatican" should be also available in the German language and shown now on German TV. Especially now, while the Cathl. Church is trying to hide more documents of sexually abused children.
This is not especially about the Vatican or about child abuse - it's about psychopaths and how they tend to gain control over the masses:

You have watched a BBC documentary, The same BBC that covered up paedophiles like Jimmy Savile and many others that we have yet to find out about, ergo by watching this documentary you have supported paedophilia
I can't believe there is still such a thing as a Catholic Church. How foolish do you need to be to still believe there is an invisible man in the sky who gave his only son to die on a cross for our sins in the first place. And it turns out his representatives on earth, the Pope and all his friends included, are a bunch of sexually repressed pedophiles and con artists.
It's time to put an end to the Catholic Church and put their leaders in prison, or worse maybe, hand them over to the victims of their sex crimes.
These monsters need to be burned at the stake, if society had any sense
I am a Roman Catholic. I was raised in a very religious family. Nothing that occurs in and around Catholicism will affect my faith and deep devotion for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I oppose of the Catholic Church and the Jesuit infiltrated Vatican since I read the oath of all Jesuits. The Vatican is a disgrace to Jesus Christ. It is an abomination and all those who worship the Pope as if he were God should stop doing so immediately. Stop giving money to the Roman Catholic Empire. The Catholic Bible omits and adds whatever it pleases to the Bible to accommodate their New World Order agenda. They have been behind every single war, genocide and famine and have even caused wars. This Papacy is the 666 Beast System and all people should "COME OUT OF HER". One can only make an educated guess that this is what this Bible phrase "come out of her" means, the Roman Catholic Church. I am extremely close with Jesus Christ and obey the 10 commandments. I live my life as if Jesus Christ would live his and when I falter I always recognize my flaws and immediately repent. I offer up all pain and sorrow in my life for the drops of blood Jesus Christ lost on the cross for our sins, so that we would be saved from eternal damnation. A lot of people have a hard time understanding this. Ask God to help you understand this by receiving the Holy Spirit. Nothing, no torture of any kind could make me turn my back on Jesus Christ. The Zionist controlled media and United States Government are also an abomination. Luciferians are lied to and refuse to see the fault in their ways. God help these people! The Jesuits who have taken an oath that is the exact opposite of anything Jesus Christ would do is an abomination. Through love, kindness, forgiveness, and living a Christlike life we will defeat all of the evil in this world. We are doing a much better job now than we have in the past. Keep up the great work all Holy people of this flat earth. Yes, they even lied to us about that. Seek the truth and you shall find it, with the Grace of God.
"Sorry, This video does not exist."
Silenced by the church once again? WTF? Raping little boys needn't any attention when the church's reputation is at risk!
only one word "jesus!"
what other organization could survive such horrific atrocities and still have millions show up every sunday and throw money in the basket to continue to support it. Blind faith.
Their first and only response should have been to tell bishops to involve the police and give them and the victim their total compliance.
A secret vatican decree called "Crimen Sollictationis" protected priests and kept victims quiet, alluded authorities, withheld evidence, obstructed justice and covered up to "protect" priests and the name of the "almighty vatican"...this is just the tip of the iceberg...
First Nations people in Canada have experienced this for 500+ years, it has altered the states of our minds, beliefs and brain washed the population to accept their teachings as the "only one, the right one and the only way." It has made our people submissive to their cultures, beliefs and yearning to be like them and one of us.
The only way we can change this is to start with self, to take charge, take back what they ripped out of us..."The indian IN the child...the Spirit"...they knew that rape, molestation and sexual abuse was an instant spiritual removal to be replaced with their beliefs, teachings and they knew it would shut us up from speaking through the use of "fear of God, punishment or death to our families"...it is repetitive throughout the world...it needs to stop.
First Nations people were just a practice run for the rest of the world...if they got away with it then...they can do it again...It goes back to a Papul Bull passed hundreds of years ago giving priests permission to have sexual relations with children..it is documented in black and white...
It is time to wake up!
Documentaries are great but are only an idea and opinion at the end of the day. They are a stepping stone to our own investigations to confirm their presentations.. this doco for example is false right from the start!
The Code of Canon Law in force when Crimen sollicitationis was issuedobliged anyone whom a priest solicited in confession to denounce him within one month and ordered that any such priest be subjected to a serious ecclesiastical punishment:
Canon 904. In accordance with the apostolic constitutions... a penitent must within one month denounce to the local Ordinary or the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office a priest guilty of the crime of solicitation in confession; and a confessor must, under a grave obligation of conscience, inform a penitent of this duty.
Canon 2368 §1. Anyone who has committed the crime of solicitation dealt with in canon 904 is to be suspended from celebrating Mass and hearing sacramental confessions and, if the gravity of the crime calls for it, he is to be declared unfit for hearing them; he is to be deprived of all benefices and ranks, of the right to vote or be voted for, and is to be declared unfit for all of them, and in more serious cases he is to be reduced to the lay state.
Crimen sollicitationis indicated the procedure to be followed between a denunciation and the possible infliction of a penalty.
Homosexuals or not, the fact is that religion belief (no matter which one) is a way to control people. It's been like that since the beginning of humanity and it will always be. No wonder that most of the victims are from poor and illiterate families... Knowledge is a threat to any religion! What a bunch of hypocrites!
Believe in yourself! That's my view of faith.
The Catholic Church is just a Cult for Pedophiles and the Pope is the ring leader! Pedophiles are drawn to the Catholic Church for obvious reasons, because they know they will be protected by the Vatican.
My thoughts and good wishes to those who have suffered at the hands of these monsters, and may peace and a higher power be with you!
Nothing about the Catholic Church has changed since the Middle Ages. It still regards itself as a law unto itself, unaccountable to secular authorities. Let's not stop with priests, how about jailing a few bishops and cardinals and bringing this mephitic institution down to its knees, at least here in this country so that other countries can be inspired to follow suit.
Do not be deceived, people! This problem is not exclusively Catholic! With the exposure of the Catholic Church's abuse, more and more non Catholic abuse cases are being exposed in every sect of Christianity! It runs rampant in all of them, we are finding out.
As a muslim we believe in christianity and islam and many other relgions that allah ( God ) has conveyed to us in the Quran. Thus, I wouldnt link this to christianity being a bad thing since it came from allah, however , todays modern christians are following a changed bible. it isnt what allah has put it down as in exact. god knows whats true and what isnt. so leaving that aside, i think these are just sick people who abuse children using the name of god. And i can only say, may allah have no mercy upon them and i hope they get the punishments they deserve which i know they will as god is fair and leaves noone mistreated. Especially innocent children.
Let's see - can I be more disgusted and disturbed? NO! And they're wondering why more and more people are leaving the Catholic Church. At the top of it is the Pope, of all people, who has covered up all of this horror directed towards innocent children. How can anyone follow a religion that allows this abuse?
This is the church that wants the government to enforce church teachings.
The Pope gets his messages as God speaks to him and he informs the Church of Gods commands. Not. Ratzinger is a criminal who preaches to the Catholic Churches. If the Vatican was not it's own country this pervert and his mob of pedophiles would rot in jail.
The whore of Babylon.Get out of that church,its leaven(doctrine of devils)
will infect you.Jesus is real,but what they teach and practice is what Paul
calls a another Jesus.They are the sea beast of Rev.13 and Rev.17.
This is Abomination!
