Oct. 8 (Bloomberg) -- French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand shouldn’t have to resign over admissions that he engaged in sexual tourism in Southeast Asia, one of President Nicolas Sarkozy’s advisers said. .............................The issue was brought into the public eye by the anti- immigration National Front and taken up by the opposition Socialist Party. Mitterrand has been one of the main French defenders of filmmaker Roman Polanski, who is fighting extradition to the U.S. from Switzerland over having had sex with a 13-year-old girl....Last Updated: October 8, 2009 04:32 EDT ....".So another one of their puppets is exposed for: pedophilia, for having supported ideologically it and for having supported the Roman Polansky innocence!!!Yeah, I had under my eyes also first hands witnesses, in this case not about pedophilia, but about homosexual tours & travels of some priests of city of Trieste!You can see well that they are the first one to spread pedophilia (and homosexuality) for two essential reasons:1) Pedophilia weaken the natural family based on the couple of different sexual sign, both consenting partner and based on real love. Vatican is an absolute power, but if you really love a partner and the children 'product' of that love, you put the Vatican and its ill church in a second plane. Hence the natural family and the love of two different sexually person, is the greatest enemy of the evil church of Rome. Stop.2) And finally, as you can see, pedophilia is a very strong means to blackmail people. Hence they have all the interest to spread it in every corner of this sad planet.Pedophilia and homosexuality are the vital elements to allow the evil church of Rome to survive sucking the blood of the society on this planet.So is not a novelty for me that "pointing the finger" the assassin does to discharge the guilty on innocents. And of course "Jews" and "Protestants" are the target N°1.From The Unhived Mind forum, latest thread of Craig Oxley:

Human Rights Council, noting that reports of sex abuse were common in the Jewish community and that most of the American churches being hit by sex abuse allegations were Protestant.“As the Catholic Church has been busy cleaning its own house,” Tomasi wrote, “it would be good if other institutions and authorities, where the major part of abuses are reported, could do the same and inform the media about it.”Tomasi’s statement came in response to an accusation from a representative of the International Humanist and Ethical Union, Keith Porteous Wood, that the Catholic Church had covered up child abuse and was in breach of several articles under the Convention on the Rights of the Child.Jewish leaders were dismayed by the Archbishop’s finger-pointing.“I was shocked by the statement. I don’t believe in comparing abuse. That’s a dangerous path to travel,” said Rabbi Joseph Potasnik, head of the New York Board of Rabbis, the largest interdenominational rabbinic organization in the world. “They have a problem they need to address; we have a problem we need to examine. Every faith community needs to be accountable to its members.”In his statement delivered to the Human Rights Council, Tomasi estimated that over the past 50 years, as many as one in 20 Catholic clergy has been involved in sexual abuse. The Archbishop cited articles in the Christian Science Monitor and the Journal of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College that estimated abuse rates in the Protestant and Jewish communities matching or exceeding that among Catholics. (No reputable studies exist that quantify rates of child sexual abuse by religious leaders in the Jewish community.)“One person is too many, so a numbers discussion is not the way to approach it,” Potasnik said.Over the past decade, thousands of Catholic priests around the world have been accused of molesting children and the Church has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to settle sex-abuse lawsuits. The litigation exposed a far-reaching cover-up of child sexual abuse by the Church hierarchy, which included transferring pedophile priests to new parishes and intimidating victims and their families into silence. In the past few years, revelations of sexual abuse within Orthodox Jewish communities have begun to generate similar allegations and lawsuits.Tomasi’s statement also drew a bizarre distinction between pedophilia and “ephebophilia,” which he defined as a “homosexual attraction to adolescent males.”“Of all priests involved in the abuses, 80% to 90% belong to this sexual orientation minority, which is sexually engaged with adolescent boys between the age of 11 and 17 years old,” Tomasi stated.The organization that originally criticized the Church to the U.N. council, the International Humanist and Ethical Union, characterized Tomasi’s reply as “comprehensively missing the point.”“No doubt there are abusers in all walks of life, but our point was not the abuse itself but the cover-up in which some of the highest officials of the Church were implicated,” the IHEU said.Attorney Irwin Zalkin said he was unsurprised by the Vatican representative’s remarks. Zalkin has represented hundreds of victims of sexual abuse in lawsuits against the Catholic Church.“They just don’t get it. There’s still a complete failure to take responsibility,” Zalkin said. For centuries, he said, Catholic leaders have tried to sweep under the carpet the problem of child sexual abuse. “The sin of scandal far outweighs, in their institutional response, any concern for the safety of children. That has been the problem.”Zalkin said he has also represented sexual abuse victims in lawsuits against Jewish organizations, Protestant churches, the Boy Scouts and other secular groups, but that the overwhelming majority of people who contact him have claims against the Catholic Church.“Does [child sexual abuse] exist elsewhere? Of course it does,” Zalkin said. “But not really in the numbers we’re seeing in the Catholic Church.”Zalkin noted that he is receiving a growing number of inquiries from alleged victims of sex abuse in New York’s Orthodox communities.“There’s a similar circle-the-wagons attitude, a similar response to that of the Catholic Church,” Zalkin said. “It’s unfortunate.”In the best-case scenario, Potasnik said, other religions will learn from the Catholic Church’s example and become more responsive to and vigilant about child sexual abuse. Like many other Jewish organizations, the New York Board of Rabbis has crafted guidelines for working with children intended to prevent abuse.Because of the Catholic scandal, Potasnik said, “The clergy are much more sensitive. There’s a greater sense that we cannot afford to close our eyes.”Contact Rebecca Dube at dube@forward.com
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2005/apr/24/children.childprotectionPope 'obstructed' sex abuse inquiry
Confidential letter reveals Ratzinger ordered bishops to keep allegations secret
- The Observer, Sunday 24 April 2005 09.58 BST
- Article history
Pope Benedict XVI faced claims last night he had 'obstructed justice' after it emerged he issued an order ensuring the church's investigations into child sex abuse claims be carried out in secret.The order was made in a confidential letter, obtained by The Observer, which was sent to every Catholic bishop in May 2001.
It asserted the church's right to hold its inquiries behind closed doors and keep the evidence confidential for up to 10 years after the victims reached adulthood. The letter was signed by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who was elected as John Paul II's successor last week.
Lawyers acting for abuse victims claim it was designed to prevent the allegations from becoming public knowledge or being investigated by the police. They accuse Ratzinger of committing a 'clear obstruction of justice'.
The letter, 'concerning very grave sins', was sent from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican office that once presided over the Inquisition and was overseen by Ratzinger.
It spells out to bishops the church's position on a number of matters ranging from celebrating the eucharist with a non-Catholic to sexual abuse by a cleric 'with a minor below the age of 18 years'. Ratzinger's letter states that the church can claim jurisdiction in cases where abuse has been 'perpetrated with a minor by a cleric'.
The letter states that the church's jurisdiction 'begins to run from the day when the minor has completed the 18th year of age' and lasts for 10 years.
It orders that 'preliminary investigations' into any claims of abuse should be sent to Ratzinger's office, which has the option of referring them back to private tribunals in which the 'functions of judge, promoter of justice, notary and legal representative can validly be performed for these cases only by priests'.
'Cases of this kind are subject to the pontifical secret,' Ratzinger's letter concludes. Breaching the pontifical secret at any time while the 10-year jurisdiction order is operating carries penalties, including the threat of excommunication.
The letter is referred to in documents relating to a lawsuit filed earlier this year against a church in Texas and Ratzinger on behalf of two alleged abuse victims. By sending the letter, lawyers acting for the alleged victims claim the cardinal conspired to obstruct justice.
Daniel Shea, the lawyer for the two alleged victims who discovered the letter, said: 'It speaks for itself. You have to ask: why do you not start the clock ticking until the kid turns 18? It's an obstruction of justice.'
Father John Beal, professor of canon law at the Catholic University of America, gave an oral deposition under oath on 8 April last year in which he admitted to Shea that the letter extended the church's jurisdiction and control over sexual assault crimes.
The Ratzinger letter was co-signed by Archbishop Tarcisio Bertone who gave an interview two years ago in which he hinted at the church's opposition to allowing outside agencies to investigate abuse claims.
'In my opinion, the demand that a bishop be obligated to contact the police in order to denounce a priest who has admitted the offence of paedophilia is unfounded,' Bertone said.
(what a bunch of damned criminals!!! - note of avles)
Shea criticised the order that abuse allegations should be investigated only in secret tribunals. 'They are imposing procedures and secrecy on these cases. If law enforcement agencies find out about the case, they can deal with it. But you can't investigate a case if you never find out about it. If you can manage to keep it secret for 18 years plus 10 the priest will get away with it,' Shea added.
A spokeswoman in the Vatican press office declined to comment when told about the contents of the letter. 'This is not a public document, so we would not talk about it,' she said.
http://dissidentvoice.org/Apr05/Whitney0426.htmRatzinger�s Plan to Hide the Pedophiles by Mike Whitney www.dissidentvoice.orgApril 26, 2005The U.K. Observer has produced evidence that the new Pope Benedict XVI was directly involved in obstructing justice in the investigation of pedophile priests. The article, �Confidential letter reveals Ratzinger ordered Bishops to keep allegations secret,� details how Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger �issued an order ensuring the church�s investigations into sex abuse claims be carried out in secret.� The order was sent to American bishops in May 2001 and �asserted the church�s right to hold its inquiries behind closed doors and keep the evidence confidential for up to 10 years after the victims reached adulthood.� (18 years old)
What right would that be? The right to protect the Catholic Church from the lawsuits of psychologically damaged victims? Or the right to ignore the laws of the host nation in which the pedophile priests were serving? The letter was signed by Ratzinger and came directly from his office at the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, which serves as the papal thought police, bringing errant priests and progressives into line with Catholic doctrine.
Ratzinger�s edict states unequivocally that the �church can claim jurisdiction in cases where abuse has been perpetrated with a minor by a cleric.�
Really? Now, what jurisdiction might that be? Certainly nothing in the Federal penal code allows a cardinal or anyone else to willfully eschew the known laws of the land and bury the facts related to criminal investigations.
Ratzinger�s letter is such an egregious violation of the law it simply boggles the mind. But, that�s just the half of it. Ratzinger claimed that the church had the right to bury these cases for 10 years after the minor has �completed the 18th year of age.�
This goes well beyond simple loyalty to one�s church. These are the calculations of someone whose moral judgment is so abysmal he shouldn�t be trusted in anything.
Is that too harsh? How else would you describe someone who cooks up a plan to obstruct justice and deliberately perpetuate the suffering of innocent children? Ratzinger�s action can only be described as vile and inexcusable.
It would be interesting to see how Ratzinger would explain his behavior in terms of his frequently espoused theories on �moral relativism�. In the real world, there are few moral absolutes, but child abuse certainly rises to that standard.
Caveat Ratzinger
To show how serious Ratzinger took the sex abuse scandal, he issued the warning in his letter, �Breaching the pontifical secret at any time while the 10 year jurisdiction order is operating carries penalties, including the threat of excommunication.�
This is terrible. It shows the current Pope acting like a Mafia chieftain, binding his subjects to silence (�Omerta�) and threatening to throw them out of the church if they fail. It also shows that his plan to obstruct justice was neither reflexive nor simply a �moral lapse�; it was a well-thought out conspiracy designed to intimidate church leaders and force them to shut up and hide the evidence.
At the same time the Observer was releasing the details of Ratzinger�s letter, the new Pope was carrying out his first official act: lambasting the Spanish government for allowing marriage for homosexuals.
The Vatican described the new bill, which will become law in a few months, as �profoundly iniquitous� and said that Catholic officials should be prepared to �lose their jobs rather than cooperate with the law.� (BBC)
Unbelievable. How can the marriage of two consenting adults committing themselves to a life together be �iniquitous�, while the concealing of known sex predators who have ruined the lives of countless children be acceptable?
Ratzinger has established a new benchmark for ecclesiastical duplicity. His disparaging remarks about women (she should �follow the roles inscribed by her biology�) and gays (they are inherently disposed �to intrinsic moral evil� and their rights can be �legitimately limited�) are already part of the public record. This new chapter only adds to his (already) dismal legacy.
Ratzinger is the worst thing that could have happened to the Catholic Church. The world needs a counterbalance to the militaristic chauvinism of Bush. Another Pope John XXIII would have been nice: a warm, conciliatory pontiff, extending the hand of friendship and goodwill the other religions. Regrettably, Ratzinger is the polar opposite of the affable architect of Ecumenical Council II. He�s already established himself as the pitchman for �traditional values�, discipline and papal authority. It�s only a matter of time before the hair shirts and chastity belts are retrieved from the subterranean Vatican vault.
Conspiracy Theory: the Bush and Ratzinger Collaboration
Sidney Blumenthal�s recent article �Holy Warriors� draws some interesting connections between Bush and the new pope. As Blumenthal notes, �Bush pleaded with the Vatican to pressure the bishops to step up their activism against abortion and gay marriage in the states during the campaign season. About a week later Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger sent a letter to the US bishops, pronouncing that those Catholics who were pro-choice on abortion were committing a grave sin and must be denied Communion. He pointedly mentioned �the case of a Catholic politician consistently campaigning and voting for permissive abortion and euthanasia laws.��
To understand how extraordinary Ratzinger�s letter was, we need to ask ourselves �when was the last time a pope actively campaigned on the behalf of a presidential candidate?�
How about never!
Is there any doubt that Ratzinger�s remarks were intended to assist Bush? His criticism torpedoed the Kerry campaign and handed a larger percentage of the Catholic vote to Bush. That margin of difference may have been critical in determining the outcome of the election.
So, why would Ratzinger throw his weight behind Bush and exhibit his disloyalty to �one of his own�? (Kerry is a Catholic) Was it because of his unshakeable commitment to principle and moral righteousness? (Certainly, his attempts to subvert justice disprove that theory.) Or did it have something to do with the American sex abuse scandal?
Call it a hunch, but I think that Ratzinger�s political maneuverings prior to the presidential election were a quid pro quo for favors promised by the Bush administration to overlook legal issues pending in the US. Ratzinger knew he had the papal election in the bag, because, as Al Jazeera noted, �Pope John Paul appointed all but 2 of the men who elected the new pope.� The fix was in. He knew he had the votes, but he also knew that he had to avoid being implicated in (covering up) the sex scandal or lose his shot at becoming pope.
One thing is certain, if justice had been served in Boston, Cardinal Law would be in leg-irons right now picking up soda cans and candy wrappers on the Mass Pike and Herr Ratzinger would be staving off extradition to the US on charges of obstruction of justice.
Instead, he�s the new head honcho of world Catholicism, blowing kisses to the adoring crowds while, at the same time, condemning the ravages of liberalism. This is an arrangement that works for Bush, too. With a reactionary ideologue in the swivel chair at the Vatican, Bush is assured that his Catholic base will stay put and the carping from Rome about Iraq will be at a minimum.
Pope Benedict XVI elicited his dark vision of humanity during the papal ceremonies on Sunday. He said, �We are living in alienation, in the salt waters of suffering and death, in a sea of darkness without light. The net of the Gospels pulls us out of the water of death and brings us into the splendor of God�s light, into true life.�
How often have we heard this same ominous Hobbesian vision articulated by autocrats attempting to ratify their own personal agenda. Ratzinger�s worldview may be his own bleak projection of reality, but his imposing position in the church hierarchy suggests that we may all feel its repercussions.

The fact happened just before the visit of Olmert in Italy in December 2006. If you remember well, during the same visit an Holocaust-warning was launched to the Jews who saw all their principal buildings as school, synagogues etc. in Rome, without protection. It never happened – If I remember well – since the OLP terrorist attacks in the airport of Rome in the eighties. I remember the article of Barry Chamish:........I.e.: "....2008-02-18 11:49 ERBA: OLINDO, “I WAS SUBMITTED TO THE BRAINWASH” COMO- Olindo Romano, indicted for the Massacre of Erba, during his spontaneous declarations said he was submitted to the “brainwash” for having being induced to confess his responsibilities in the murder. Romano told that he has been essentially induced to confess in a conversation with the Carabineers, the 10th January 2007, before the arrival of the magistrates in the Bassone prison of Como. At the hearing was present also the wife of Romano, Rosa Bazzi.It was like “they had done on me the brainwash and I thought to all that they told us about the conveniences and opportunities for us”, affirmed Olindo Romano. Then he explained: “I asked to speak with my wife, but they told me that it wasn’t possible and that only the magistrate could have authorized it; but first I had to confess and then the magistrate would arrive”Olindo told that he fell “into desperation”. The hearing is going further with the deposition of the lieutenant Luciano Gallorini, commander of the station (of Carabineers) of Erba, who was the first to address the inquiries on the couple of neighbours (= Olindo and Rosa) living near the victims. On 11th December 2006 in Diaz street civic number 25, four people were murdered: Raffaella Castagna, his son Youssef, just little more than two years old, the mother of the woman, Paola Galli and a neighbour woman, Valeria Cherubini. Seriously wounded – but then survived - remained the husband of Cherubini, Mario Frigerio, principal witness for the indictment, whose deposition is expected to be held on the next 26th February.....etc...."............"-------------------------------------------------(As I have no time, no resources, no money, no support at disposition, it is clear that what I wrote is affected by many errors and uncorrectness.
