GOP Chairman McDaniel Should Be Held Accountable For Republican Intransparency and Crimes Against Human Rights Among Others For Conduct in ICE Camps


I see that a freshman Rep in Congress Jason Crow (d-colorado) is introducing a bill to allow Reps access to ICE facilities within 48 hours of request to inspect and audit per their constitutional rights and of course in the human frame to investigate these facilities for disease and the death of children held in immigration custody. 

Where these children getting proper and or immediate medical care, were they with family when they died, have their parents been informed of the child's death?

Unfair to call most of these facilities concentration camps but some in the Administration call them Summer Camps for Kids. The illness access is one that needs investigation. No need to raise the child abuse thing yet. The lack of transparency and the lack of heart, soul and humanity under the Trump Regime goes without saying.

No sooner than Crow wants to get access to ICE facilities that Ronna McDaniel, no doubt at all in my mind, with her approval pulls out an Hispanic Repubikan loser Phil Covarrubias, lost his rep seat in the Colorado State legislature last year, and now suddenly he is talking about opposing Crow in the 2020 race for the local congressional seat. Just moved into the neighborhood Phil?

This is where the evil of full time Mormon Moms and part time National Republican Chairmen like Ronna McDaniel is that Phil last year, only one or two generations from being a wetback himself from Mexico, said in an interview that he approved of locking up the Japanese Americans in concentration camps in WWII. He also while in the state legislature compared "Abortion Rights" to "Prostitution". Where do they find these dregs?

What is it about putting on the little red MAGA hat that scrambles the few brain cells these racist losers and haters and morons have, and get the idea that they are anything more than they are - human trash.

Trump has united all the white, inbred and wanna be white and inbred types to come out of the closet and live a proud Honey Boo Boo reality TV version of themselves in their minds but not in the reality of living next door to real neighbors of all colors and measures. 

That when the final chapter of this evil period in U.S. history is written and the world court at the Hague requires someone to stand in the USA docket, I nominate Ronna McDaniel and her overseeing of the not doing anything, only following orders M.O. while filling his rubber stamp ranks, under a monster mobster like Donald J. Trump.

Harrowgate Tales - Excerpts




My latest on Kindle - Harrowgate Tales


Excerpts:


Parade in Kensington - Harrowgate Memorial Day Parade


...The biggest event annually in Harrowgate - Kensington was the Memorial Day Parade being that most parents of school aged children in the neighborhood and areas were veterans of WWII and Korea. Old males likely vets of WWI etc. I once marched in Memorial Day Parades in high school with the North(east) Catholic High marching band of which I played Sousaphone.

One performance I personally remember was in a parade that was in Port Richmond, we were bused to different locations that day in a P.T.C. chartered bus. There I saw two amazing things. An old man of about ninety, skinny and tall and wearing what looked like a Boy Scout Uniform with some medals and looking through thick as the bottom of a Coke bottle lenses of his eyeglasses. This old guy was an actual Veteran of the Spanish American War. Small world. There too, this is the late 60's, I saw my English teacher from freshman year who at that time was a seminarian studying to be a priest, teaching on a year long sabbatical of sorts, teaching in our high school for a year, after finishing four years of college in the seminary before continuing with an additional four years of seminary training after this year of teaching. It was after all a teaching religious order and his salary from the archdiocese doubt went to support the order. 

He was no longer in a black cassock but in a white tee shirt, shorts and sandals. She was also with what must have been his girlfriend. He saw me during a break from marching and said hello with no other explanation other than to say hello and ask how Junior year was going etc. I guess he left the seminary for one reason, reasons or another etc. ...


The Long Dark Corridor

...I guess that the religious order had decided to maintain the property until it could be evaluated whether to sell it - use it, convert it etc. I think that maybe about fifteen priests and seminarians used the grand estate as a second faculty house - to relieve overcrowding in the primary faculty house – and commuting by car back and forth to the high school. 

In retrospect I connect some dots (possibly in total error) and perhaps it was the gay section of the original faculty house that went into separate quarters at this white elephant mansion.

Oh this speculation breaks down into two categories: good gays, abstaining from gay sex religious and the bad gays - actually occasionally practicing their natural instincts -

There is not much to this story except for connecting dots and wondering. In the middle of that sophomore year, a young, dynamic, charismatic seminarian teacher died in a car crash coming back from some long distance weekend duties - deacon at some parish etc. I remember his picture in the newspaper and the official speculation that he had fallen asleep at the wheel of his car in this "single vehicle collision" - And then my biology teacher, I liked him, died during the summer break.

I suppose I would not be writing this today except that in the next school year, my junior year, a very prissy but not unlikable priest blurted out something in class. Father Tom, a history teacher, said something like a veiled admission regarding the sudden tragic death of Father Ed, the biology teacher. He said something like "wrapping oneself around a highway pillar was indeed a suspicious thing to happen" while talking to the class one day, I think his comments went over many students heads... 


Chapter Two - The Long Dark Corridor

...But I got the A+++.  Been there.  Done that.  Time to move on. Etc. 

I decided then and there. I would drop his course. So much of what he had fed this class so far was his own personal bullshit full of his ambitious plan to one day run the school system downtown which he in fact did one day. I have since read many things about cults and brainwashing and such and “E.” would have made a great Jim Jones in the secular world etc. IMHO. 

I also as I have written this blog for many years have to wonder how ambitious church lady types with penises, how they rise to the top of their professions being perhaps tops and not giving a shit about who gets ground into sausage along the way, especially children.

I also have  to wonder how “E.” built his great education system as the archdiocese, one by one, shut down their inner city schools and high schools.  That glory sometimes is a story, a press release, as the world and or institution dies from attrition.  

Will the last person in the Archdiocese Education Office at “222” kindly turn off the lights as they leave the building forever. 

I also have to wonder how many times how the elites of the Education Department rubbed elbows with the Elites of the hierarchy at board meetings or gatherings over cocktails and how polite church talk and education talk never got mixed with the very real talk of child abuse and criminal cover up emanating from the Cardinal’s penthouse office suite on the top floor above?...

Aside From Attacking Surrogate (?) Gay Sir Elton John, Trump Supports Anointed GOP Hastert Heir Jim Jordan As Next Speaker In Montana Rant/Rally






What did Speaker Dennis Hastert do anyway to be eligible for a post 2018 election Trump Presidential Pardon?

Grabbed a few underage boys genitals in the shower? - Hey, balls, pussy, what difference does it matter when Jim Jordan had already been anointed / ordained to succeed Paul Ryan in the Putin Approved S.O.T.U.S.H.O.R. job posting on the Trump/Kremlin team? 


Extremely Focused Trump Now Comparing Himself to Elton John


The #MeToo jab wasn’t even the only time on Thursday that Trump downplayed sexual abuse, of which he has been widely accused. When asked to comment on allegations that Sen. Jim Jordan (R-OH) ignored widespread abuse while he was a member of the Ohio State wrestling program, Trump dismissed the accusations. “I don’t believe them at all,” Trump said. “I believe him. Jim Jordan is one of the most outstanding people I’ve met since I’ve been in Washington. I believe him 100 percent. No question in my mind. I believe Jim Jordan 100 percent. He’s an outstanding man.”
Though he attacked war veterans, Native Americans, rape victims and Sir Elton John, Trump made a point on Thursday to praise authoritarian leaders like Kim (who Trump says would never have met with Obama), Chinese President Xi (“You have to admire him”) and, of course, Vladimir Putin. “You know what? Putin is fine,” the president said. “He’s fine. We’re all fine. We’re people.”

High Archbishop Jeff Sessons - Expert on Slavery Biblical Passages and Nazi on Jews Holocaust Strategy and Expert of Child Abuse On Mexican Border


“Well, it’s a real exaggeration, of course,” the attorney general said of the comparisons.

Sessions said comparisons of those centers to the Nazis camps wasn’t fair because the Justice Department was simply trying to deter people from crossing the border, not keep them in the U.S.
“Well, it’s a real exaggeration, of course. In Nazi Germany, they were keeping the Jews from leaving the country,” Sessions said. “We need to think it through, be rational and thoughtful about it. We want to allow asylum for people who qualify for it, but people who want economic migration for their personal financial benefit, and what they think is their families’ benefit, is not a basis for a claim of asylum.”
Sessions stressed that the children detained by the government were cared for and “not being abused” in any way.

Laura Bush on The Children of the Wall "Ninos de la Pared" - (Trump's Wall)





Laura Bush on The Children of the Wall "Ninos de la Pared" - (Trump's Wall)



I live in a border state. I appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries, but this zero-tolerance policy is cruel. It is immoral. And it breaks my heart.
We pride ourselves on believing that people should be seen for the content of their character, not the color of their skin. We pride ourselves on acceptance. If we are truly that country, then it is our obligation to reunite these detained children with their parents — and to stop separating parents and children in the first place.
People on all sides agree that our immigration system isn’t working, but the injustice of zero tolerance is not the answer.

Clergy / Child Abuse Cottage Industry in Johnstown Altoona RC Diocese





ALTOONA, Pa. — Two Catholic bishops who led a small Pennsylvania diocese helped cover up the sexual abuse of hundreds of children by more than 50 priests and other religious leaders over a 40-year period, according to a grand jury report that portrays the church as holding such sway over law enforcement that it helped select a police chief.
The 147-page report issued Tuesday on sexual abuse in the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese, home to nearly 100,000 Roman Catholics, was based partly on evidence from a secret diocesan archive opened through a search warrant over the summer.
In announcing the findings, Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane said the diocese's two previous bishops "placed their desire to avoid public scandal over the well-being of children."
No criminal charges are being filed in the case because some abusers have died, the statute of limitations has expired, or victims are too traumatized to testify, she said.
Of the victims, Kane said: "Their souls were killed as children. They weren't out playing baseball; they were trying to avoid priests."
"The diocese will not apologize or take responsibility for its dark history," the report said.


In a practice seen in other dioceses, the bishop created a "payout chart" to help guide how much victims would receive from the church, the report said. Victims fondled over their clothes were to be paid $10,000 to $25,000; fondled under their clothes or subjected to masturbation, $15,000 to $40,000; subjected to forced oral sex, $25,000 to $75,000; subjected to forced sodomy or intercourse, $50,000 to $175,000.

Papal Knight Jimmy Savile Raped Children As Young As Nine At The BBC





Investigative news site Exaro has published findings of Dame Janet Smith’s review into the depraved entertainer and BBC television presenter, who was exposed as a prolific sexual predator and paedophile a year after his death in 2011.

The review, which has said it will publish its report in six weeks’ time, said the leaked findings were from an early draft of the report and that “significant changes” had since been made to its “contents and conclusions”.

According to Exaro, the review’s findings highlight multiple rapes and indecent assaults on girls and boys at the hands of Savile and “inappropriate sexual conduct” with teenagers above 16 - all “in some way associated with the BBC”.

“Three of Savile’s victims were only nine-years-old,” it says.

Exaro reports that Smith criticises the BBC for a “very deferential culture”, with many BBC employees telling the review that they had heard about Savile’s predatory reputation but feared reporting their concerns to managers.


It also warns that “a predatory child abuser could be lurking undiscovered in the BBC even today”.

A Comment Re: Archbishop Chaput on his Efforts to Suppress Child Abuse Reform in Harrisburg (Comment in NCR)





It becomes more difficult with each passing day
here in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to remain civil and respectful
in one’s comments regarding the local RCC leadership, their statements,
conduct and decision-making, past and present, relative to the abuse,
destruction and devastation visited on child and young adult clergy
abuse victims. Deliberate and deceitful obfuscation and
hypocrisy……..Chaput asks “what more do they want us to do?”
He’s a learned, mature and educated man and he most assuredly “knows”
what must be done to protect our children now and in the future. He
also “knows” what must be done in Harrisburg to give past victims a
voice, legal access and redress (ALL CHILD VICTIMS here in the
Commonwealth of PA, regardless of the venue of the alleged
abuse…..public or private, religious or secular, in the home or in the
community). It doesn’t work, it doesn’t sell, and it is unconvincing when a
man such as Charles Chaput feigns ignorance on what steps needed to be
taken to address the protection of ALL of our children.
He has NO RIGHT to stand in the way of the protection of other
children in the Commonwealth of PA even if he wishes to defend his
institution, leadership and its finances from legitimate legal action
from victims and families that have suffered so terribly. Get out of
Harrisburg, get out of Marsico’s office and LET THE PEOPLE have an
opportunity to hear what the legislative proposals are about and what
they can do for our children. How dare you, your leadership or anyone
else, elected in Harrisburg or elsewhere, subvert and/or hijack our
system of representative democracy.
The last several clergy abuse matters under YOUR watch, Archbishop
Chaput, are clearly demonstrative of your style of leadership relative
to the dangers to children in archdiocesan facilities throughout the
region. Very little information re the allegations, risks in place in
parishes for extended periods before notification of parents and
families, and little if any information (facts, details, outcomes)
regarding the disposition of the cases. What more can be done? Such a
statement cannot be from ignorance, that we know. I believe it is from
arrogance and a smugness that says “how dare the parishioners here in
Philadelphia question my conduct, decision-making and actions in these
issues?”
It is always appropriate to end a presentation on a positive note and
theme. I want to “thank you” Archbishop Chaput for allowing many, many
people in the region and beyond, both Catholic and non-Catholic, to
come to know and love the special, unique, faithful, prayerful and
compassionate nature of two very remarkable catholic women in this area.
You know who they are; if not, then it is your loss that you do not
know the depth, sincerity and beauty of their commitment to the Catholic
faith. Yes, Archbishop, I am referring to Margie Winters and Andrea
Vettori. I have read several of the statements and letters offered in
the media by these two genuine Catholic women since the Waldron Mercy*
issue in the summertime. I just can’t remember reading any finer
expressions of one’s Catholic faith, commitment, sensitivity, caring and
compassion for those in our community, especially the children. Ms.
Vettori’s letter to Pope Francis should be read by every parishioner in
the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, exemplifying how her faith and love of
Our Lord literally fills her life and the work she does.
Archbishop Chaput, unless you have not noticed yet, you are no longer
in Denver. Citizens in the Delaware Valley, Catholic and non-Catholic,
will never rest until all of our children are protected in the best way
possible from the risks and dangers of sexual predation as well as the
highest level of legal access and redress for those who should be
victimized by such evil and criminal acts. Quite simply, either join us
in these efforts or please, or just get out of the way and stop using
PARISHIONERS’ contributions and donations to fight against the
protection of ALL the children of the Commonwealth of PA.

Bishop Robert Finn Got Raw Deal in Corrupt Missouri State Grand Jury Maze?




I begin to realize why the Vatican has stood by their man in Kansas City Missouri on charges of failure to report suspected child abuse by his personal friend Father Ratigan.

Apparently the sheeple in the Kansas City Diocese also understand how corrupt a local Missouri Grand Jury can get when its members are picked by experts in personalities and types. Not to mention ethnic names that might indicate whether a Juror is a Catholic or Protestant etc. And of course these days the “none of the above” atheists, agnostics and secularists populate the juror’s pool. 

Bishop Finn was no doubt indicted on heartland anti-Catholic sentiment with that likely heavy Protestant and “other” type of Grand Juror placed there by the local prosecutor.

So when some ambitious prosecutor from the white burb part of a Missouri County wants to convict a sitting Roman Catholic Bishop on some piddling child abuse misdemeanors as an example, it is no big deal to indict anyone on any trumped up charges or not indict a favored native (white) son, as in the recent St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McColloch’s long, long, long term probe into the innocence of a Ferguson Missouri cop Darren Wilson ( which was a forgone conclusion – wink – nod ).

Spoon feeding jurors and evading questions from the jury if the Supreme Court can trump some obsolete fugitive slave type shoot to kill law is otay okay.  That and picking a white nine panel and black three grand jury with a requirement of 9 votes to indict and or not to indict. No sweat. So sweat indeed Bobby and Kathi and Sheila.


Bishop Finn will not doubt be moving up to rank of archbishop soon, that is no doubt in the works. Just a matter of time. God’s laws are certainly superior to man-made and easily manipulated secular law as in Missouri.

Sandusky Penn State Style Locker Room Football More Popular Than Ever? - Sayreville New Jersey





The players taken into custody — who ranged in age from 15 to 17 — were at home with parents or guardians when police arrived, law enforcement sources told NJ Advance Media. Those sources, who were familiar with the arrests, asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter.

The charges were brought by the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s office, which confirmed the detentions after they were first reported on NJ.com.

According to Prosecutor Andrew Carey, three were charged with aggravated sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual contact, conspiracy to commit aggravated criminal sexual contact, criminal restraint, and hazing for engaging in an act of sexual penetration upon one of the juvenile victims. One of those defendants and four others were charged with various counts including aggravated assault, conspiracy, aggravated criminal sexual contact, hazing and riot by participating in the attack of some of the victims.

According to the complaints filed in the matter, one or more of the players held victims against their will, while others improperly touched victims in a sexual manner. In one case, one of the victims was kicked during an attack, said the prosecutor's office.

Prosecutors said the events took place in four separate incidents at Sayreville War Memorial High School, between Sept. 19 and Sept. 29.

“Cardinal Quinn” of “Gotham” aka “the diddling priest” Being Killed by Vigilante Justice in this Batman Inspired TV Show





Dig the crazy way vigilantes kill corrupt officials of Gotham, a new TV show on FOX TV, before Batman arrives on the scene – by handcuffing the murder victims to weather balloons that disappear into the horizon and pop at high altitudes. Bizarre.

Catholic Church In Boston Afraid of Religious, Political and Cultural Diversity – Black Mass Tonight at Harvard To Celebrate Free Will and Human Nature





The Archdiocese of Boston, the Bernard Cardinal Law Bailiwick that recognizes and promotes child abuse by Catholic Clergy, and rewards people like Cardinal Law with big promotions in such cases, is now showing its total ape-shit drunken spirit-uality like Bill Donohue PR intolerance to the Satanic ritual going to be performed in a pub within the Harvard Campus area.

The problem with man-made mono-theistic religions is that they cannot flourish in diverse political cultures such as the United States. As such they, the Catholic PR machine fueled by millions of tax free donor dollars, is in motion to make the next guy uncomfortable in their shoes in the presence of their magic ancient not universal but non-universal provincial god. Beware.


If anything, like the made up Wicca practices of the nineteenth century to fill a gap of a dead cultural religious witchcraft of feminine cultures that the RC helped to ethnically cleanse from Europe centuries ago - the Black Mass of the Satanists is a reactionary ceremony to recreate the RC Mass with Priests with magic fingers making magic bread. This all in a kind of "Stockholm Syndrome" like grudging respect of victims to their former victim-izers. To worship what Satan truly represents - Free Will and or Human Nature. 

That without true spirituality within, all ceremonies or rituals are merely assembly lines in pie factories so to speak or at least from the this POV. Whatever.

Cold Hearted Global Spreadsheet Charlie Chaput in Philly Cuts Off Financial Tuition Aid to the Children of Clerical Sex Abuse Victims




I must say the stooges running around 222 N 17th Street in Philly are kissing tail, chasing their own tails, closing parishes, funding Pope Parties on the Parkway and stiffing the children of Sex Abuse Victims out of free tuition at Archdiocese schools.

Of course, this not so well known program had to stop. Money to victims? A quarter million and Spreadsheet Charlie, cheap, mean, tight, in on his temporary assignment, hatchet job before promotion, on the assets of the Philly Archdiocese, that and trying so hard to get that Red Hat, to enjoy forever in Hell, the floor of hell is covered in the skulls of bishops etc.

Well who would want to send their children to a Catholic school anyway after being raped by the priest cult of this Christian sect is beyond me???

After some attention in the press, the few that knew about this program have gotten a temporary reprieve for the generosity of the faithful of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for the many sins of its so-called chast celibate hierarchy. Whatever.


With that aid cut off, he faced the prospect of uprooting his teenagers in the midst of their high school years.

 Church officials rebuffed months of repeated requests to plead his case with Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, he said.

 But after The Inquirer began asking questions about the tuition-relief program - and Woodruff's case in particular - church officials told him they would continue to cover his children's costs through graduation.

 Ken Gavin, a spokesman for the archdiocese, said Chaput had been considering "for some time" the decision to grandfather Woodruff's children and those of other participating victims through the tuition relief program's closure.


The decision to end the program in June came last year as the archdiocese struggled to dig itself out of a financial hole that has prompted layoffs, property sales, and the closure of parishes and schools.

 Gavin said a financial review of the archdiocese had prompted a reevaluation of how money set aside for victim services was spent.

 "The core mission of the [Victim's Assistance Program] is to provide for healing of the individual," he said. "As such, resources were directed toward modes of assistance directly related to that goal."

 He stressed that the school payments were just one of the myriad efforts the archdiocese's Office for Child and Youth Protection has made to combat sexual abuse and help victims, including offers of therapy and counseling to victims and mandatory training for its thousands of clergy and lay employees.

 To Woodruff, that explanation is lacking.

Vatican a Possible Renegade State - Sanctions Needed like with Iran and North Korea to Alleviate Ongoing Child Abuse Mismanagement and Crimes - Part of New Axis of Evil?





The UN has called on the Vatican to "immediately remove" all clergy who are known or suspected child abusers. 
 It denounced the Holy See for adopting policies which allowed priests to sexually abuse thousands of children, and criticised its attitudes towards homosexuality, contraception and abortion. 
 The Vatican responded by saying it would examine the report - but also accused its authors of interference.

Woody Allen and All Those Nasty Unmentionable in the Media “Child Abuse” Allegations Come to Light Again




Before some of these “Hollywood Menagerie” families that seem to grab the media attention of modern terms, there was that floating kind of thing over twenty years ago as the “Nuclear” (?) “Extended” Woody Allen – Mia Farrow breakup and or “Marital” meltdown in Manhattan Family Court in the early 1990s.

That people like Madonna raised a social consciousness of poor third world babies worthy of adoption led to others in the Hollywood Hierarchy, notably the Brad Pitt – Angeline Jolie “Marital” alliance with a family of all adopted types of children to make one big “Morphed” family. 

The definitions of Nuclear or Extended Families are stretched or obsolete in modern light. And wondering the motives of the unmarried Jolie-Pitt “Marital” alliance one sees that diversity negates a childhood of Angeline at least of the life as a child of notorious actor father and racial redneck bigot Jon Voight.

That aside, back to the Woody Allen Menagerie family of children, adopted, step, natural etc. of the early 1990s under the financial umbrella of famous rich parents not married, came rumblings of rumors of Woody Allen’s possible misuse of the sexual privacy of his children and their being possibly abused.

In the Family Court, marriage was not dissolved so much as the merger of finances, child support, custody, visitation etc. were being disconnected and realigned with of course "the best interests" of the children concerned.

And the Allen-Farrow “divorce” was being handled in the New York Media Market full of PR, publicists, and Hollywood handlers.

I do remember that the proceeding of the Allen-Farrow Demerger in the Family Court got handled in the rich people’s family court where the rich and famous do not have to sit for hours in the Regular Manhattan Family Court with the little people, the welfare people etc. in terms of divorce, visitation, child support and custody which is the meat and potatoes of that court. 

That the hideous looming concrete architectural monster, with architecture awards, was in the middle of its first of one or two or three major redo-s, re-fabs of a building that should have been torn down considering the years of scaffolding outside and inside creating a surreal web work of a strange mixed sci-fi like territory of family justice in Manhattan.

That the Woody Allen and Mia Farrow paid a "fee" to be treated differently than the "regular" family court, and sat with an appointment with a Family Court Judge in some other building after hours, to work out the details of finance, support, custody and visitation of a modern extended, perhaps Menagerie media type family.

That allegations of spousal abuse or spousal abandonment is the primary language of divorce and such. That Ms. Farrow's past accusations about her adopted children are nothing new in the press.

That allegations of parents abusing children are taken care of in turn by court related bureaucrats in direct or outsourced government investigations.  

And in case you are wondering, unless there is a smoking gun with photos, accusations of abuse of children usually are documented and little else done in a twisted almost obscene place built more for the guaranteed employment of lawyers and judges, bureaucrats and their pensions than for the true welfare of any abused child and or children.

That it is not surprising that it took decades for the Child Abuse problem in the RC Church to come to light, let alone be dealt with etc. Yet to be fully dealt with?

That there are extraordinary parallels illustrated here on how large Secular institutions treat allegations of sexual abuse in similar fashion to Religious interests, and in that the institution comes first because of its functions and only secondly in terms of considerations of other things, human things, namely children. 

That is no surprise that one of Woody Allen’s adopted children is now coming out in public to air the family’s dirty laundry that has taken a back seat to Woody Allen’s Fame, lawyers and publicists for the past many decades.

I do not want to say much further, take sides etc., except to say that it is not surprising to me that more famous children of famous people have not sought a public forum to try and heal old seemingly unhealable sexual abuse wounds.

Clergy Child Abuse Still Under The Radar With Pope Francis Who Throws A Bone To American Bishops and Their Obsession with Abortion and Not the Welfare of Children once Born except in Rhetoric




Clergy abuse of children is still under the radar regarding Francis's thoughts and words on a throwaway culture which has its merits as a concept. 

Makes a great sound bite for the media.

But once born and not aborted, children in this world like in the church are on their own to fend for themselves against the wolves of this world.
 
Words do not change anything Francis.


 Pope Francis on Monday called abortion "horrific" and said it was part of a new "throwaway culture" he said wasted human life as easily as it wasted food — his strongest words yet on a practice that is a divisive political issue in the United States.
Until now, Francis has appeared to have stayed away from strong statements on the church's stands on moral behavior of individuals, preferring to focus on more positive messages about the teachings of Jesus Christ and the need to see to the poor.
His comments during the start of his papacy that the church need not "obsess" about abortion and gay marriage bothered conservative Catholics who see the issues as ones that the church ought to object to strongly. On Monday, Francis put his own stamp on the church's long-held opposition to abortion.

"It is frightful even to think that there are children, victims of abortion, who will never see the light of day," Francis said in what has become a traditional annual address to the Vatican diplomatic corps.
