We need to rid the Catholic Church from the culprits

By Paul Kokoski

In 2005 Pope Benedict XVI issued a resounding call for reform in the church, saying, “How much filth there is in the church … even among those … in the priesthood.”

The sex abuse scandal involving priests is just the tip of the iceberg. The real culprits of moral decay are the post-Vatican II  modernists like Hans Kung, who brought sexual deviants into the church and who continue to disseminate  their “new morality” within our  various seminaries, schools and chancery offices.

Apart from the sex abuse scandal  our bishops continue to defy Pope Benedict XVI on liturgical matters and on matters regarding our Catholic politicians, who are allowed to openly promote and advance the moral evils of divorce, contraception  and murder, via abortion and embryonic stem cell research. Instead of disciplining these moral criminals they are instead given places of high honor at Masses and invited  to receive unworthily the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.

Purifying the church of sex abusers will not bring the church out of its present crisis of faith. What is needed is a deeper and more complete overhaul of the filth that continues to infect our church via modernist priests, theologians and lay members, who apart from our beloved Pope, militantly spread their poison each and everyday in various Catholic institutions.

The pope has now closed the door on sex abusers and homosexuals. Let us hope that he continues this purification by sweeping out all those who are responsible for the present crisis.

With respectful and cordial best wishes I remain,

Sincerely yours.

    it’s bad enough lets get to work and encourage our very own priest that serve us as a flock to be aware off the devil tricks. We know what we read about the abusesive conduct of those priest.
    If Jesus was to ask; who will throw the very first stone which of us would that be.He gave an example
    when he ask the woman at the well for her husband so my people don’t be to quick to respond and try to judges.leave it to the Master.t

    Another letter by another annoymous person… Are you people just making this stuff up . Shame on you ! . The letter is so bogus it is not even worth a proper commentary on.

    ADMIN: Bratt did you read the entire letter without looking for something to criticize? If so you would have noticed from the onset i.e since the article was published that the byline of the writer was at the top- Paul Kokoski, who always contributes commentaries. And no we don’t actually spend time to makeup letters. Not because you don’t agree with the writer you should bash the medium which the message is on, I anticipate that you will send something that is “worth a proper commentary.” Email: [email protected]

    As in everything else religion gets and has always been mixed with politics but the bible scripture has always stood the test of time and remains true. I was born a catholic and met all its requirements of catechism and confirmation. Christians persecuted by the Roman empire (10 disciples died for Christ) endured hardships so terrible unimaginable and when Constantine adopted christianism as the national religion of Rome principally for the reason of unifying the Roman empire which was falling apart and only got baptized on his death bed, that these persecutions stopped. What really transpired afterwards?
    Scripture warns that in the end of times that there will be a corrupt religio-political power, History has taught us that even God’s people although chosen were given up to the enemies when they fell away from God’s favor. Which religion is a state within a state, making it both religious and political? Who are the ones given the authority to forgive sins, man or Christ? Who has claimed that Christ has appointed them ……absolute judges of men?. Who gives a man absolute power to Judge? (The code of Cannon Law. Paulist pres, 1985. pp 251,271). The list can go on an on.
    We should remember as Christians that Religion is not going to save us. we should be wary of the fact that we cannot buy our way to heaven no matter how much good we do,it it was so the the death of Christ has no significance. We should pray for God’s wisdom through Christ for that Wisdom to understand him because as it is written his foolishness is wiser than man’s wisdom. It is written that the anti-christ will have an appearance of being good i.e. will apparently be doing good to the poor and needy and preaching peace and love. It is written that the dark side can appear as angels of light. This world has a lot of deception and one should pray for the gift of discernment in order to follow the path that is narrow, or else we will be blindly going a road that looks good. Nobody is perfect scripture is filled with great men who fell away but there will be consequences. It is written that the last will be first and the first shall be last. God bless everyone though our Lord Jesus and remember that God is going to judge each and everyone individually no church no pastor no priest will be present. The fundamental question will be asked “What have you done to my SON?

    I am a born Catholic and will remain so. What is doing on in the church today are the sins of people who have faltered.

    I always believe that the Catholic Church is the ‘holy and screwed up’ church. It is holy because Christ is in it, it is screwed up because we are in it. Although Jesus never formed a church he picked Peter and said “Upon this rock I will build my church.” Imagine Peter, the man who denied Jesus three times, who when Jesus asked him to walk on the water to meet him doubted and started sinking. From the very beginning Jesus knew the Church was not going to be perfect but he sanctioned Peter to continue his work anyway.

    Here are some interesting facts about the Catholic Church in the US:

    Do you know–the Catholic Church educates 2.6 million students everyday at the cost to that Church of 10 billion dollars, and a savings on the other hand to the American taxpayer of 18 billion dollars. The graduates go on to graduate studies at the rate of 92%.

    The Church has 230 colleges and universities in the U.S. with an enrollment of 700,000 students.

    The Catholic Church has a non-profit hospital system of 637 hospitals, which account for hospital treatment of 1 out of every 5 people–not just Catholics–in the United States today

    But the press is vindictive and trying to totally denigrate in every way the Catholic Church in this country. They have blamed the disease of pedophilia on the Catholic Church, which is as irresponsible as blaming adultery on the institution of marriage.

    Let me give you some figures that Catholics should know and remember. For example, 12% of the 300 Protestant clergy surveyed admitted to sexual intercourse with a parishioner; 38% acknowledged other inappropriate sexual contact in a study by the United Methodist Church , 41.8% of clergy women reported unwanted sexual behavior; 17% of laywomen have been sexually harassed.

    Meanwhile, 1.7% of the Catholic clergy has been found guilty of pedophilia. 10% of the Protestant ministers have been found guilty of pedophilia. This is not a Catholic Problem.

    A study of American priests showed that most are happy in the priesthood and find it even better than they had expected, and that most, if given the choice, would choose to be priests again in face of all this obnoxious PR the church has been receiving.

      Kalinago, you have a right to your faith; if you have been a Catholic from your youth, the dominant factor that strengthens or maintains loyalty to your faith is not the reality of is sordid history, but blind belief and tradition.
      Education has always been a recruiting tool of the Church, because through indoctrination at an early age, the mystery and complexity of its dogma is marginalised. I attended the oldest Catholic University in the US and contrary to the slant of your statistics, with the exception of the South, Catholic education is private and almost as expensive as the Ivy League. I am not contesting that the good the Church has done is less than the contributions of others; but please read the history of your Church.

      Jesus intended to build a new Jewish religion, but you’d think He would have known that He would not live long enough to see it; so this is one other biblical contradiction from which I will not disabuse you.
      If the percentage of incidents of sexual abuse among Catholic priests is less than that of Protestant Ministers, it still means that a greater number of people are victimised by the Catholic Church by virtue of its population. We have not even discussed the manipulation of the indulgencies which is still practised today when it comes to underworld criminals.

        ‘if you have been a Catholic from your youth, the dominant factor that strengthens or maintains loyalty to your faith is not the reality of is sordid history, but blind belief and tradition.’
        A ridiculous unfounded comment. It’s interesting how the outside world knows better why we are Catholics than ourselves. The world always knows better!

        Btw, I love my Church, I love its Tradition. I lovingly and thankfully participate in the Sacraments and I love the Blessed Virgin Mary!
        I am Catholic – sorry to disappoint you…

    • The reasoning should not be wether the Roman Catholic Church has educated several millions of people, or has many dozens of educational institutions, the fact is that there is absolutely no excuses for the abuses perpetrated on children in their time of innocents, by the abusive homosexual priests.

      There are priest who have literally destroyed the innocents of children, girls, as well as boys, even in Dominica, and as far as I know in my village of Wesley!

      And had it not because I would like to protect the innocent, who are grown into men and women, I would mentioned the names of some who are still alive.

      That is not the purpose at the moment, however, we must recognize the problem for what it is and what it represents.

      At this moment there are people who are calling for the now so called pope, whatever that name means, because no such name or word is found in the Protestant, nor the Roman Catholic Bible, which are apparently the same.

      We are finding out that this so called pope, indulge up to recent days before becoming head of the Roman Catholic Church, covered up the crimes of certain priest who sexually abused hundreds of children.

      Even when the priest themselves recognized that they had a problem, and request that Vatican kick them out of the priest-hood, the now pope, refused, to acknowledge and grant their request, alternatively, the same priest who ask to be released was investigated charged, tried, found guilty, and sentence to prison.

      In recent days, bishops, in Germany, Rome, and elsewhere has step down because of the part they recognized they played in the cover up of the sexual abuse of those so called priests.

      Last night on the Rachael Meadow show ( on channel 209) we saw singer O’Connor from island, the one who while performing a song in 1991 or there about ripped a picture of the one who called himself John Paul into pieces; complaining about this so called pope who is the so called Benedict!

      She said that this man wrote a letter to the Roman Catholic Churches in Ireland, in which he attempt to blame the victims rather than the perpetrators for their vicious crimes, and suggest the only way the people of Ireland can overcome what transpired in the past ( the sexual abuse, and beatings that some children suffered), is to get closer to the Roman Catholic Church!

      How ridiculous can this man be?

      Where as people at this very moment is calling for him to step down as head of the Roman Catholic Church, he has refused to acknowledge he is responsible for the damage he has caused.

      He has forgotten that he was the man who was the head of the office in Vatican where complaints about dirty, and rouge priest was submitted.

      He moved these dangerous predators from one diocese to another where they continued to ravage the flesh of children.

      He had knowledge of what these people were doing, and in my opinion encouraged it.

      His lack of actions indicate his approval, and there is nothing he can say that can change the damage he personally has caused.

      An organization, lead by self righteous or wolves in sheep clothing carrying cross is not the church, a building is not the Church!

      However, the Bible teaches, ” where two or three are gathered in my name I am in the midst of them.”

      Therefore the Church is a gathering of believers in Jesus, and the written word of God, therefore one does not have to enter into a building to worship God.

      And; the personal relationship of a person with Jehovah, through Jesus Christ, has nothing to do with a priest, pope or those who called themselves reverend.

      ” For all are born in sin and fall short of the glory of God.”

      The Church has no denominational names, as we find among different religions; as long as people subject themselves to the rules and doctrine of ” religion ” and where certain loyalty is demanded based on what is taught by another sinful man, the problem of the Roman Catholic Church will continue to plague the life’s of many.

      KALINAGO: CHECK YOUR “FACTS”

      “10% of Protestant ministers have been found guilty of pedophilia.”

      ———————————

      This information regarding Protestant ministers has no basis in fact.

      It originates from a July/August 2002 Sojourners article by Rose Marie Berger in which she misinterprets statements from Penn. State Prof. Philip Jenkins regarding sexual abuse by Protestant ministers.

      In the original article Berger writes…
      “Philip Jenkins concludes in his book “Pedophiles and Priests” that while 1.7 percent of Catholic clergy have been found guilty of pedophilia (specifically of boys), 10 percent of Protestant ministers have been found guilty of pedophilia.”

      To which Philip Jenkins responds (Sept/Oct 2002)…
      “I regret to say that the statement is baloney. I never said it, and it’s not true!… Every time this ten percent statement appears attributed to me, I try to debunk it, but these things have a life of their own. I have no idea what the actual proportion of pedophile protestant clergy is, but I would be amazed if it was more than a fraction of one percent.”

      Sojourners apologized to its readers for passing on erroneous information and revised the article, removing the incorrect and defamatory information. But not before Sam Miller got a hold of it!

      Regrettably, this information has recently gone viral within the Catholic community by way of the internet and e-mail.

      There are many very good reasons to be a proud Catholic. It is not necessary to bear false witness against your neighbor to feel good about yourself. If there is any pride that comes from accusing others of being worse than you, it is a false pride. With respect to the issue of sexual abuse, the hard work of repentance, reconciliation, and reform remain!

      Your Brother in Christ…(I hope!)

      “Now you just have to accuse somebody else of being worse than you are,
      or of being a member of a race or group that is worse than yours,
      and that makes you feel like you’re good, moral, or superior.” Richard Rohr

      • July 29, 2013

        Dear Pastor Pollock:

        I do not at this time have access to any other statistics reveallng the percentage of Roman Catholic priests who are pedophiles but I would like to make the following comments.

        (1) Based on what I see in the media I would have expected the figure to be much higher.

        (2) If the figure is so low why does the church hesitate to expel the erring priests? (a) Such a small number would not require an impossible amount of administrative time and work to defrock them. (b) To defrock this many priests should not create a crisis resulting from a loss of man power even with the shortage of priests.

        (3) If the correct figure is 1.7% the fact remains that usually a priest who is guilty of pedophillia has assaulted a significant number of children (usually boys) not only one or two. I have read reports of one single priest assaulting more than a score, a hundred, or several hundred boys, and still being allowed to practice as a priest long after being reported to his bishop.

        In defence of homosexuals it is sometimes argued that “Most pedophiles are heterosexuals. Of course this is correct but it is misleading. Most pedophiles are heterosexuals because THERE ARE MORE HETEROSEXUALS! When we take into consideration that only a small percentage of the population is gay we realize that they commit a disappropriate number of the sex crimes against against boys.

        The problem in the Roman Catholic priesthood is an example of this. Most of the sexual crimes against children are committed by homsosexual priests involving boys in spite of the fact that most of the priests are heterosexuals! Does this not demonstrate that homosexuals are more prone to pedophilia than heterosexuals? Based on this one example alone I don’t know what other conclusion you could come up with.

        Unfortunately pedophiles are difficult to treat and have a high rate of re-offending. Homosexual pedophiles re-offend more often than heteroexuals. Many believe this says something about the pathology in homosexuality that deserves further study. No homosexual pedophile should ever be reinstated to the priesthood or given any position in the care of children or young people. This is not a lack of love or unwillingness to forgive. It is common sense. We are dealing here with a serious pathology.

        The report that 10% of Protestant ministers are guilty of sexually abusing children is a lie. I want to thank you for following it back far enough to expose it for what it is. I belong to a strict evangelical denomination with rigid discipline for its ministers. On my office wall I have a certficate honoring me for 40 years of service so you know I have been around for a while. I can honestly tell you in all these years with over 1,200 churches in Canada I have only known of one pastor who was involved in pedophilia. He was expelled from our denominational ministry, not tranferred to another of our churches, or given a “desk job” in the denomination. I have not heard of one case in any of the other Protestant denominations but I expect it has happened.

        Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Pentecostal Evangelist.

    Why is it Paul Kokoski is always looking to blame other people for the Problems and controversy facing the Catholic Church. Last time it was the Anglicans, today it is Hans Kung, and modernist priests, Paul isn’t it time you stop and look the problem right in the eye and say what it is. Please, once and for all say it.Why are you so protective of the Pope.

    Paul, when you make the statement as to ” We need to rid the Catholic Church from the culprits” who is we, you’re referring to, it is the regular Catholic Church goers world wide or the occult , hidden layers of organizations within the Church the likes of The Black Pope and his Jesuits, Knight of Malta, Knights Templar, Knights of Columbus,and Opus dei which you might be a member off one. Is it not time we are told what the real Church is, and what it represents, and the various agents, organizations, and layers which make up the Church.

    The problem the Church is facing now is not something new, it is an old age problem which the Church always had for centuries, and did an excellent job keeping it hidden, so to keep blaming modernist Priest and Hans Kung, is absurd. The problem was there before them. What is happening now, the “Institution” is self destructing, all we have to do is wait and see. Yes, it is true we are living in an interesting time, a time of enlightenment, the end of an old age, the end of lies and manipulation, and not the end of the world as they would like us to believe.

    aaaaai am a catholic and despite failings and corruption of church administrators I remain a firm bel;iver because Jesus is the church.

    A matter that hit me verh hard was when the Bisho[p of Roseau announced that giving of the blood would be suspended for “fear” ( my words) of spreading virus. I almost stopped going to chu8rch but did not.

    Jesus himself said take this and drink all of you for this is my blood.

    Since we believe he sees and knows all things did He not know that His blood is incapable of containing or passing sickness? Are we not saying therefore that our faith that it IS the blood of Jesus is unfounded? Was not that action hitting at the crux of our faith.

    Fortunately I returned to the UK to find out that the practice here was never stopped and no one has been infected, with a catholic population larger than population of Dominica.

    I am the least of believers but firmly hold to the words of Jesus ( The only way, only truth and life) ” This IS my body and this IS my blood” The church needs to hold fast unswervingly to it’s beliefs and it WILL weather all storms and purification events.

      Shame on the bishop for doing that. I share your view and a firm believer in the blood of christ. I have absolutely no fear from drinking from the cup.

    • April 23, 2010

      Thanks Ron for at least signing your real name. The argument is not against the Church of Christ; it is against the Universal Corporation known as the Universal Church or more popularly, the Roman Catholic Church. See, Christ never had a church; He was a Jew, not a Christian. He believed in his faith but decried the hypocrites who thought they were experts in the law yet lacking in humanity.
      When you refer to symbolic blood, you are destroying all concepts of rationality. In this century when we do not need priests and preachers to misinterpret the Bible or Quran for us, we take a realistic look at how superstition was used as a tool of conversion in the Catholic Church.

      The filthy holy water at the entrance to the Cathedral needs to be changed.Or did you not read of the mass infection in Portugal caused to believers who dipped into the cupola at the entrance of the church?
      What you believe in is your personal business and you should be ashamed of yourself for informing us of it.

    well the Bible say it is an abomination to be gay they should send all gay men to hang.Prist have no wife and to be gay is part of their religion thats why is only men leaving together what else will they do they are not godly but religious and religion is a poison that destroys the mind >Is only GOD that is true and save through Jesus Christ but the roman catholic church has no god but mary and statues.That have feet but cannot walk eyes and cannot see so long they have their saviour nailed to a cross he cannot come down.But Jesus was raised from the dead and is no longer on the cross and is coming again to judge those gays and sinners those priests need to repent or they will go to hell.

    Non Catholic, you must be the perfect being. are you judging now? The catholic church has problems from time, ut the new ones like you just came and are more problematic than the catholics. Many are called but few are choosen.

      April 23, 2010

      The scriptures were what doing the judging, not anyone else, so read them and compare them to what the church teaches or what it has become today.When it comes to Gods word, its in black and white, it is wrong or right.

      Many other churches have problems, some even worse, thats does not make them right either. Who the cap fit, let them wear it. As for myself, I am not judging any individuals, and I love all people, catholics, gays, christians, lesbians, muslims, hindus, dominicans, grandbarians, etc.

      I have no problems with Catholics, and I even love some of their beliefs, because they are based on the Bible. But the current church, made possible by its governance structures and administration, is what is causing a festering of evil principles and practices.

      The Catholic Church has laid its fence pretty low. Whose fault is that? The church, or should I say Satan? It cannot be mine, or even yours!

  11. NonCatholic
    April 23, 2010

    Well said, but I am so sorry to dissapoint you… All your words are just falling on deaf ears. Even if the changes are done now, whats the point and who takes responsibility for the damages already done? Its too-little, too-late. The “church” has been like this for years, starting from the apostacy of the early fathers under Roman Emperor Constantine, who blessed everything pagan and made it “holy”, to the inquisition, to Slavery, the Holocost, Apartheid, Genocide (Rwanda, Bosnia), and lots more.

    You need to take a bold stand, and ““Get out of her, my people, if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins, and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues” – Read Revelation 18:4-8. The problem with the Catholic Church is not that there are’nt good people like you in there who still stand for what is right. The problem is that the church structures itself are unable to create and sustain an environment for righteous principles to thrive because it does not have God’s spirit and blessing.

    Just like ancient Judaism, which once had Gods favor but by the time of Jesus was just like today’s Catholic church (read Matt. 23:27, 28), you need to step out like Jesus, and find the people that are “doing the will of God” for you to associate yourself with.

    Not even the Pope can change the church now, it has gone too far, so start thinking of finding the true worshipers of God to help nourish your faith and confidence in God. (Read John 4:21-24) Sorry if this may sound harsh, but I would surely appreciate an opportunity with you to exchange our views further….

      Fools like you that keep dividing christianity. Every problem all you have you run and open your own church. (over 60,000 now). The Catholic Church will continue to thrive. You will never beat our numbers. It is too strong for little people like you to break down! All you other little churches, you only have a subset of what we have. You pretend that in your own church don’t have abuse. Even when the pastors have their wives. some food for thought.

        Do you honestly believe that if Chist was to come back on earth as a person, he would sit in the pews while all of this was going on in his church? Well according to you, he would have created the 60,001 church and counting. But NO, among the 60,000 that already exist, there is definitely a place that true worship can be found, and he would know what it looks like and where to find it!

        In some other churches that I am more familiar with, the structures are not created to allow abuse to thrive, or be covered up. They are dealt with by the church, and where necessary, the law. The churches which dont, are just as bad as the Catholic church, and everyone is free to call their names if they have the facts.

        I would love to see some of your evidence which shows where the Catholic Church is “thriving”. Honestly, lets talk.

    To my Catholic Brothers ans sisters I ask the question (s) What would Christ do? or better yet. Based on our Christian principles what do we believe Christ would do in such a situation. Would he condemn? Would he seek after the blood of the perpetrators of this heinous and develish crime? Or will he condemn the act, but speak ina forgining way to those priests who lost sight of thier calling?

    Who are we anyway to condemn these priests to hell? Haven’t we participated in sinful acts such as having abortions or paying for abortions. Haven’t we engaged in extra marital sins or fornication etc, cheated, bribed or hated? Which sin is greater?

    I do not wish to pour cold water on the issue.It is nasty, totally unchristian and must be condemned. But we all seem to take the high moral road and cast a pointing finger as though we are queaky clean without sin. We even go after the church’s resources as though with compensating millions in our pockets, the sin would have been cleared.

    Let us condemn the acts of sex abuse especially against unsuspecting minors by the “men of the cloth”. Let us recognize it as unchristian. Let us act to rid that sin from among the clergy. But can we really achieve that – considering our sinful humanity?

    Let us therefore pray for the sincere men who continue to serve the in the Lord’s vineyard – including the Holy Father. Let us not behave like non-Catholics and maligned all of our spiritual leaders in the same vein. There are good men among the bad. Let us recognize that and pray for God’s grace and emotional and spiritual healing to those who were abused as well as their families.

    Let us recognize that sin among our clergyin that manner is the work of the devil against the church of God. The Church of God will prevail and the gates of hell will not and cannot prevail. Satan you are a loser – big time.
