Tom McCarthy quotes SNAP in the news and I lose interest in Spotlight the movie. Why bother, when everything you do will get damage controlled away.

Update Oct. 30, 2015, So Predictable. Almost every story now about the film that mentions survivors quotes Clohessy when I bet a lot of people would rather hear from the Boston victims. SNAP always steps in and takes the microphone, preventing anyone else from being heard unless SNAP selects them. Hello! That's called Damage Control. No one chose SNAP to run the movement, they just are always there, no matter where the story breaks, there is Clohessy or Blaine taking center stage, telling the world all the great things SNAP does for survivors and reporters write it down as truth. SNAP does not do anything for survivors except show up at news events and prevent other victims from having a voice. Is there a real journalist out there ANYWHERE who will write this story and expose this scam, this counter intelligence conducted by the Catholic Church as yet another way to screw the pedophile priest victims? Anyone?

UPDATE November 14, 2015: SNAP had Two Years to prepare for the release of Spotlight. So what are they doing? Blaine is "retweeting" reviews of Spotlight. Last week they announced a petition to the Pope asking him to change and sent an email encouraging people to go see the film. That's it.  No use of the SNAP branches in cities all over the country, no activism that involves the "thousands" of SNAP members.  If Anyone Still Believes this organization is working for survivors, please stop living in denial of the lengths to which the Church will go to keep the truth of these crimes hidden. So survivors get YET ANOTHER missed opportunity by the group that sucked up the contact information in every city, so no one else could organize anything. If you wonder why it seems as if nothing happened last twenty years and the church was not affected by the pedophile priest crimes, look no farther.

Going to hold you to this, Francis

"One must not cover those things up. Those who covered this up are guilty, even some bishops who covered it up." Pope Francis on plane back to Europe yesterday morning. "God weeps for the sexual abuse of children. These cannot be maintained in secret." In his final speech to the bishops. 

“I hold the stories and the suffering and the sorry of children who were sexually abused by priests deep in my heart,” Francis said, during a visit to St. Charles Borromeo seminary.
“I remain overwhelmed with shame that men entrusted with the tender care of children violated these little ones and caused grievous harm. I am profoundly sorry. God weeps.”
“The crimes and sins of the sexual abuse of children must no longer be held in secret. I pledge the zealous vigilance of the church to protect children and the promise of accountability for all.”
****
We'll see.
He did say he pledges a "promise of accountability," which to me means
Prosecute The Bishops 
on a federal level for best results
Meanwhile I think the difference between what the Pope said to the bishops about pedophile priests when he arrived in the U.S. and what he said to them when he left is astounding.

Kay finally gets Confirmation


no sacrament, just confirmation


i am getting a settlement lawyer just called it's paltry but I will finally get new teeth, sigh and a settlement is Closure and Confirmation, hah funny word, I finally got Confirmation in the Catholic Church- there has got to be a blog post in that.

    Kay Finally Gets Confirmation is working title. Archdiocese lawyers were astonished when I told them I'd never gotten Sacrament of Confirmation during that meeting in 2011. Now I've been Confirmed.
    Maybe 'someone' called the archbishop of Chicago after reading my posts here last week and told him to send her a frigging check. . . 

Bishops are the Real Criminals, Not Pedophile Priests


Prosecute the bishops on a federal level 

*****
In the last week of papal news, when it got to the topic of pedophile priests, everyone seemed to repeat that the bishops should be removed from office and the pervert priests should be in prison.

I think it's the other way around.

The priests should have been taken out of office and the bishops should be in prison. Pedophile priests were sick men who should not have had access to children once it became obvious what they were doing with the children. Pedophilia is a sickness. 

Bishops committed serial felonies when they repeated the same pattern of transferring priests, paying off victims to be silent, and covering up the crimes in almost every city in the United States. There has to have been some kind of collusion from the beginning, at the top, or the same pattern of coverup would not have happened in almost every archdiocese in the United States. 

Transferring the pervert priests to another location where they could continue to predate until they got caught again is a pattern of felonies on a federal level committed by the bishops. Yet I don't remember hearing any of our spokespersons mention that critical part of the decades long crime epidemic in the ubiquitous coverage of the Pope last week, although I have to admit, I did not see all of it. 

So I wish reporters would ask tougher questions, dig deeper than a paid spokesperson for the story. Stop focusing on the pedophile priests, they're not the bad guys here.  It's the bishops who aided and abetted and covered up the crimes, using every means possible and all you have to do is look at what happened in my life to see just how far they will go to keep just one little old lady blogging from a slum SRO in Tahoe from exposing them.

The perp priests are not on their own capable of the massive crimes that happened on a national and apparently international level in the Roman Catholic Church in the way they apparently let the priests have sex with children.  In pursuit of justice, focusing on the sick priests instead of the criminal bishops who kept them in neighborhood churches with access to children is going in the wrong direction.

The sound byte should be: Prosecute the bishops on a federal level.
 
Federal indictments probably would have happened in 2010 if Eric Holder hadn’t been the Attorney General (how soon we forget). If the federal government can investigate these crimes in Australia and Ireland, why can't they do it here.

Someone finally prosecutes an Archdiocese. And it's only for 3 Misdemeanors.

Wish I could go with my laptop and cover this trial

Catholic archdiocese in Minnesota charged in priest sex abuse

On Friday, Ramsey County prosecutor John Choi leveled six counts at the archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. He accused it of encouraging, causing or contributing to the sexual abuse of three victims by a priest in 2010 and 2011.
Each count is a "gross misdemeanor," and ... (Continue reading here at CNN)

Aw sh-- all they got out of this was three misdemeanors?

Big fat elephant in the room

From David O'Regan's Facebook page, as I find out more about credits, I will post.-ke
Seems like every time SNAP was in the news last week they repeated the talking point that Archdioceses should list the names of perpetrator priests on their websites.Yet they never mentioned that Bishop Accountability already has a website that lists Four Thousand pedophile priests in alphabetical order, with links to every news story about them. Which is a weird kind of forgetfulness on the part of SNAP, although they do make it easy for reporters. SNAP is always there with a sound byte, no need for journalists to do any digging.  Good morning.

Anyone else notice?

In same speech where Pope thanked the U.S. bishops for how they handled the pedophile priest crisis, he lionized the founder of Catholic Worker, the organization Barbara Blaine worked for when she started SNAP, anyone else notice? Weird connections between SNAP and the Church at a very high level like these documents at CofA 8 just never stop. I fist linked those docs at this story about my experience with SNAP written in 2011 and I really just want to go swimming now. Wish an objective journalist would investigate what was really done to the pedophile priest victims through the counter-intelligence group set up by U.S. bishops known as SNAP, so that I could retire.

What Pope Says versus my real experience as pedophile priest crime victim

While Pope speaks, his lawyers are attacking me

The Pope said just now to Congress, we should be concerned about those "trapped in a cycle of poverty" and I wonder, what about this pedophile priest victim / blogger. I lost every job I had due to my sexual dysfunction and now am in such a frightening trap of poverty that I'm praying for a terminal illness as I don't know how I'm going to live to old age on a six hundred dollar a month pension.
The Chicago Archdiocese has dragged out my civil lawsuit for years, offering me a settlement then reneging on it, actually twice now, money they dangle in front of me making me think they will help lift me out of the poverty that was a direct result of their negligence in leaving Father Horne in office after he raped my older sister.
They are using the opening of a possible settlement as a way to get my lawyers to call me and ask harassing questions. Then they are never forthcoming with a settlemetn. 
Instead while the Pope addresses Congress, the Chicago Archdiocese is THIS WEEK using hardball tactics to harass me even while admitting the crimes happened and that I deserve a settlement.  
The Chicago Archdiocese is harassing me and trying to defeat my spirit as a pedophile priest victim at exactly the same time the Pope is addressing Congress about the plight of the elderly and poor. 

PS: Plus since this blog is on the web for life, I am now unemployable.

RU Fed Up Yet?

junipero serra led the Genocide of thousands of Natives who had populated California for centuries with migration north and south. He set up the missions that enslaved and killed the local people. He was a Spaniard not a central or south american a Spaniard, a white European exploiting this land. And now the Pope who pretends there are no pedophile priest victims in pain makes junipero serra the first "hispanic american saint." RU sick yet?  Thanks to junipero serra the Vatican got to cash in on the New World big time

Biggest Regret that no one from the church seems to get

Chicago Archdiocese Refuses to Help Pedophile Priest Victim from 1955

I'm thinking of moving to chicago, getting a small room, and taking up a spot outside the Cardinal's mansion with a sign saying Archdiocese Refuses to Help Pedophile Priest Victim from Bartlett 1955 I mean what else have I got to do...

How Convenient that Afghan soldiers raping boys is in the news just when Pope comes to visit


the story circulating now about Afghan soldiers raping boys is OLD NEWS I heard it on Randi Rhodes radio show five years ago, how convenient that USA media is focused on THIS rape of children during the Pope's visit instead of the hundred thousand rapes of children that took place in the Catholic Church. Is this a PR strategy to deflect Google searches away from the guilt of the Vatican? I mean, the story did break yesterday in the new New York Times....
They are Masters of Deflection after all

I Wish they would meet with Me

I'd tell them a thing or two

Vatican-appointed interim administrator met with Minnesota Catholic reform group

MINNESOTA National Catholic Reporter Elizabeth A. Elliott | Sep. 21, 2015
As the St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocese prepares for a new leader, the Vatican-appointed interim administrator has met with a Catholic reform group that the former archbishop had warned his flock against joining.  Archbishop Bernard Hebda, appointed apostolic administrator following the resignation of Archbishop John C. Nienstedt and Auxiliary Bishop Lee A. Piché in June, met Sept. 3 with members of the Catholic Coalition for Church Reform (CCCR) of Minnesota.Posted by Kathy Shaw at 10:46 AM

Oh, yeah, problem solved

Cops: Ex-priest charged in child sex case

NEW YORK News 12 CARMEL - A former Westchester priest has been arrested for having sexual relations with a young child, according to police.  Cops say Joseph Faraone, 68, assaulted a child who may have had a mental disability. Faraone spent time at the Church of St. Patrick in Yorktown and St. Francis of Assisi in Mount Kisco.
Faraone is being held in Putnam County Jail.  Faraone won more $1.17 million in the New York Lottery in 1985 and left the priesthood around 2006. Officials say the charges do not appear to be associated with his time as a priest.  Posted by Kathy Shaw at 10:03 AM at

Reporters do not connect dots even while looking straight at head pedophile priest

Dumbed down America continued

Poignant report that young boys are used as sex slaves by Afghan soldiers, sometimes on American military property on MSNBC morning news show.  If any of our officers knew about this, they should be fired, said Hightop, and his cohort Lipswitch agreed with her eyes flashing compassion and care. 
Segue right into next story, "The Pope spends day in Cuba before coming to America" big empty grins on all faces.  No idea how ignorant they just revealed themselves to be. No mention that the Pope heads an organization that aided and abetted thousands of child rapes by its priests and never admitted any guilt or faced any consequences.   
Tell me, how do pedophile priest victims ever get out the truth in a media environment full of press release readers who never ask questions. 
And how does the whole country ever root out pedophilia at its core if we refuse to look at powerful persons and cultural structures that enable it.  

Here is the story to which they referred: 

U.S. Soldiers Told to Ignore Sexual Abuse of Boys by Afghan Allies"KABUL, Afghanistan — In his last phone call home, Lance Cpl. Gregory Buckley Jr. told his father what was troubling him: From his bunk in southern Afghanistan, he could hear Afghan police officers sexually abusing boys they had brought to the base." (Continued here)

Plus the story broke in the NY Times and nowhere else, which once meant it must be true, but in the last decade has come to mean it could be false.  We are all stuck here together in American Opposite-World. 
I first heard about Afghan soldiers bringing children back to the bases on the Randi Rhodes radio show a good five or more years ago. This is not even news, it's an old story, yet the NY Times releases it now? Maybe to take the pedophile attention away from the Pope? To steer "pedophile" searches in Google away from the Pope?

They use Corporate Defense attorneys to fight pedophile priest victims. Look at who they really are.

Francis got to be pope by making a deal. He gets to take the church on a surprising left-wing trip in exchange for DELETING the pedophile priest crimes from history, and the victims. Deleting us. I don't care how good his politics are. He heads up an international crime syndicate that bamboozles millions of people to support it one donation a week. Dig Deeper. They use Corporate Defense attorneys to fight pedophile priest victims. Look at who they really are. 

Piker Church

the Catholic Church has spent at least a million dollars monitoring me last eight years yet they still have never settled my lawsuit. Harassed the hell out of me though
it started here at CofA3 when I realized No Other journalist was covering the thousand lawsuits going through L.A. Superior Court in 2007 and I was a small free press for a year and a half before the Church started putting "handlers" in my life, (I know who they are now) tapping my phone, intercepting every story I was developing and making it stop. They made the whole blog stop. I WISH an investigative journalist would fucking do that story.

Cardinal Stritch stood over me in 1955 in Chicago and said I had to stop "babbling" to everyone about what Father Horne had done to me. So I kept quiet for 40 years. Now in my late 50s -- I babble.
