Not Even a Slew of Angels

"The Pope and the Roman Catholic Church have been visited by a whole slew of angels. But their willful blindness and deafness now have them up on the roof, with the water rising. To list just a few of the loudest messages they have ignored:

• The Irish government’s massive 2009 “Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse” (also known as the Ryan Report), was a nine year study of the abuse of children in Catholic schools from 1936 to the present. Published in 2009, the report found rape and sexual molestation “endemic” in the Catholic institutions caring for about 30,000 of Ireland’s children during that 73-year period. The Church successfully sued to keep all priests’ names secret. Not long ago, “Irish Catholic” was redundant. Now it’s becoming rare. The national Catholic seminary at Maynooth has graduated more than 11,000 priests since its founding in 1795. The huge number – far more than Irish churches needed – is why so many American Catholics had Irish priests in the last century. In 2008, only 15 men were ordained as Catholic priests for the entire island with about 4.2 million nominal Catholics."
