Hej Jen Nu taler du konstant såom at det er alle præster og at kirken konstant har bevilliget det. JEg tror ikke at den katolske kirke kan lide disse overgreb. Problemet ligger nemlig i at de som virksomhed, har behov for at fremstå som noget rent. Og da disse overgreb netop giver ridser i lakken, der kan sætte virksomheden i dårligt lys. Det er jo det samme som når en virksomhed, siger at en vold/voldtægtsforbryder kan aftjene med fodlænke, sådan at personen forsat kan arbejde i firmaet. Det er jo heller ikke noget som man offentliggøre. Og når man tegner et billed af kirken, så er der mange millioner, der er ansat, og det skulle være usansyndlygt at de så ikke får ansat en pædofil. Bare tag de danske børnehaver, hvor meget de har været igennem. Og bare tag den koncekvens som det har givet. Næsten ingen mænd tør at arbejde inden for det fag. /Kenneth |
Kenneth:JEg benægter stadig ikke at det er sket, da der er faldt dom i sager. Og jeg benægter heller ikke at det fra kirkens side er håndteret tåbeligt.

In 1962, Cardinal Alfredo Ottaviani, Secretary of the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office, sent a letter which became known as the Crimen sollicitationis. In this letter, addressed to "all Patriarchs, Archbishops, Bishops and other Local Ordinaries, including those of Eastern Rite", the Holy Office laid down procedures to be followed in dealing with cases of clerics (priests or bishops) of the Catholic Church accused of having used the sacrament of Penance to make sexual advances to penitents; its rules were more specific than the generic ones in the Code of Canon Law.[36] In addition, it instructed that the same procedures be used when dealing with denunciations of homosexual, paedophile or zoophile behaviour by clerics. It repeated the rule that any Catholic who failed for over a month to denounce a priest who had made such advances in connection with confession was automatically excommunicated and could be absolved only after actually denouncing the priest or at least promising seriously to do so.[37]
In 1983, the Vatican promulgated a revised Code of Canon Law which included a canon (1395, 2) which explicitly named sex with a minor by clerics as a canonical crime.
In April 2001, Pope John Paul II issued Sacramentorum sanctitatis tutela[38] (Safeguarding the Sanctity of the Sacraments). This replaced the Crimen sollicitationis. All priestly sex crimes cases were to be placed under the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith which, in most cases, would authorize the bishops to conduct trials themselves. In May 2001, a letter from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in line with the 1983 Code of Canon Law and the 1990 Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches, was sent to the Catholic bishops.[39].
[edit] Criticism of secrecy in Vatican proceedings
To place the cases under the competence of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has been criticized by some as making the process more secretive and lengthening the time required to address the allegations. For example, in his biography of John Paul II, David Yallop asserts that the backlog of referrals to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith for action against sexually abusive priests is so large that it takes 18 months to get a reply.[citation needed]
Vatican officials have expressed concern that the church's insistence on confidentiality in its treatment of priestly sexual abuse cases was seen as a ban on reporting serious accusations to the civil authorities. Early in 2010 Cardinal Claudio Hummes, the head of the Congregation for Clergy, said that instances of sexual abuse by priests were "criminal facts" as well as serious sins and required co-operation with the civil justice system. Italian academic Lucetta Scaraffia described the conspiracy involved in hiding the offence as omerta, the Mafia code of silence, and said that "We can hypothesise that a greater female presence, not at a subordinate level, would have been able to rip the veil of masculine secrecy that in the past often covered the denunciation of these misdeeds with silence".[40]
Some parties have interpreted the Crimen sollicitationis as a directive from the Vatican to keep all allegations of sexual abuse secret, leading to widespread media coverage of its contents.[41] Lawyers for some of those making abuse allegations claimed that the document demonstrated a systematic conspiracy to conceal such crimes.[42] The Vatican responded that the document was not only widely misinterpreted, but moreover had been superseded by more recent guidelines in the 1960s and 1970s, and especially the 1983 Code of Canon Law.[43]
