Berlin - A former Catholic priest was sentenced to seven years' jail on Thursday for sexually abusing children over several years, after admitting to some of the charges in a German court. The former priest, 50, who worked at a school near the city of Kassel, said he had sexually abused six altar boys between and Investigators also found pornographic images of children on his computer. The judge said the man deliberately targeted weak boys and seized upon their enthusiasm, and told him, 'You used your authority and your position as a person of trust.
Sex abuse victims can sue Que. Former students at the Saint-Alphonse Seminary outside of Quebec City have won the right to sue a priest who they say molested them. At the invitation of Rev. This was the first time that any Baptist church has actually invited me to speak. So this 3, member congregation is something special, and they have a pastor who carries a genuine concern for the problem of clergy sex abuse. But I also know that, if kids in Baptist churches are going to be made safer, we need to do a whole lot more talking about it.

Affirming lower court decisions, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals ruling on Tuesday [Nov 23] involved 10 appeals and 13 underlying lawsuits. At issue in the case are approximately a dozen lawsuits accusing the Archdiocese of misrepresentation. Currently serving a five year-sentence, the year-old was charged with a sexual assault against a boy aged under 16 in the late s, on Monday They lived as hermits, giving up their families, jobs and possessions to live in poverty and pray for man's sins.
Known as the Intercessors of the Lamb, the band of penniless men and women took prayer requests from around the world and raked in millions of dollars through religious gatherings and the sale of books and tapes by founder Nadine Brown. But in mid-October, the Archdiocese of Omaha denounced the group, sending a bus to the compound to whisk away 50 or so members to a retreat 70 miles away. Catholics were warned to disregard Brown's teachings and stop funding her group amid claims the group's finances were mismanaged and Brown intimidated its members, who live with few possessions other than the robes she gives them.
Canada hasn't formally asked Belgium to extradite a Roman Catholic priest back to Nunavut, where he is wanted for alleged sex crimes against children dating back to the lates, CBC News has learned. Belgian officials say Canada has yet to file a formal extradition request for Rev. Eric Dejaeger, a Canadian who resurfaced in September after having lived in Belgium for the past 15 years.
Dejaeger, 63, is on Interpol's list of wanted fugitives for "crimes against children," based on an arrest warrant issued by the Nunavut Court of Justice in De correctionele rechtbank in Brugge heeft Roger Huyghe 68 , de gewezen broeder-directeur van de Torhoutse instelling voor mentaal gehandicapten Tordale, veroordeeld tot de maximumstraf. De rechtbank achtte de tientallen ernstige zedenfeiten met minderjarige bewoners en vakantiegangers van de instelling bewezen.
Huyghe is ook voor tien jaar ontzet uit zijn burgerrechten. Eind februari werden de eerste klachten tegen de broeder-directeur ingediend. Huyghe zou zich niet herinneren dat hij de jonge jongens in de douches, slaapkamers of in zijn bureau aanraakte,. Voor de correctionele rechtbank in Brugge is het proces begonnen tegen Roger Huyghe Er dienden zich 29 burgerlijke partijen aan. De feiten waarvoor Huyghe terecht staat, vonden plaats tussen en De slachtoffers zijn allen mentaal gehandicapte jongeren die in de instelling verbleven.
Het gaat naar verluidt om tientallen feiten van aanranding op de eerbaarheid en verkrachting.

Zeker is dat er vrijdag 29 burgerlijke partijen door de rechtbank werden weerhouden. Het proces werd achter gesloten deuren gevoerd. Broeder Huyghe zelf zit al een jaar in voorhechtenis. Hij zat tien jaar uit voor pedofilie. Wanneer Roger Huyghe 78 precies vrijkomt, weet zijn advocaat Eddy Debusschere niet. Justitie gaf hem geen dag cadeau. En omdat hij niet ter beschikking wordt gesteld van de regering, zal hij een volledig vrij man zijn. Daarin schrijft hij mentaal klaar te zijn om vrij te komen.
Hoewel hij zijn onschuld tot op vandaag staande houdt, is hij altijd heel sereen gebleven bij zijn opsluiting. De gevangenis was lang niet het ergste voor hem — hij was als broeder wel wat discipline gewoon. Het ergste voor hem was het schandaal en het verlies van zijn goede naam. Hij was een zeer hoge toren, die plotseling omver viel. Robert Chukwu has until March 7 to make the restitution payment, according to a document filed last week in Crawford County Circuit Court.
He later pleaded no contest to three misdemeanor theft charges, two of which will be dismissed if he completes a diversion agreement. A book so "risky" has no precedent for a successor of Peter. He recalls that "in a completely deliberate way" he wanted that book not to be an act of the magisterium, but the offering of his own personal interpretation.
On the afternoon of Monday, November 22, speaking one-on-one with the pope, the director of the Vatican press office, Fr. Federico Lombardi, asked him if he knew that he was facing an even greater risk with the book-length interview that was about to be released. The pope's comments came in his new book-interview, "Light of the World: The interviewer, German journalist Peter Seewald, asked the pope whether the church's teaching that homosexuals deserve respect isn't contradicted by its position that homosexual acts are "intrinsically disordered.
ETYEK, Hungary — A new big-budget TV series being filmed here, featuring sex, corruption and violence at the Vatican, isn't expected to cause more than a ripple in the sex scandal-plagued Catholic Church. Rodrigo Borgia, who deployed bribery to become Pope Alexander VI in , was famous for his voracious sexual appetite, corruption, and use of violence to try to ensure a dynasty for his out-of-wedlock children.
It is not polygamy that needs to be kept in check, it's the harms that can arise in polygamy, monogamy, adultery and casual sexual relations that need to be restrained. That's how George Macintosh Wednesday summed up his position as the amicus -the court-appointed lawyer charged with arguing for the striking down of Canada's polygamy law and against the governments of British Columbia and Canada. And it came on Day Three of the constitutional reference case to determine the validity of the Criminal Code's polygamy section, a trial that is expected to run at least until the end of January.
CONWAY — The minister and two elders at a local church have been found guilty for failing to report a case of suspected child abuse last year. They will be sentenced Dec. A teenage boy probably doesn't agree with him. The unnamed victim says Fr. John Fiala raped him at gunpoint and threatened him, his family, and his girlfriend if he refused sex. Was this one of those famous accusations from 20 years ago? The alleged abuse took place in The now ex-padre, who was removed in the Fall of , allegedly recently tried to hire a hit man to kill the youth.
Tomorrow marks the first anniversary of the publication of the Murphy report. How have the victims survived? I REMEMBER both my anger and sadness rising as I sat in offices of the Department of Justice early one morning a year ago reading about the nine-year-old girl who had to experience a priest put his hands inside her trousers during confession so as to abuse her, washing his hands in an altar bowl after wards. I felt sad for the boys who were sexually abused by Fr McNamee having been attracted to the indoor and outdoor swimming pools at his parochial house in Crumlin, which adults were excluded from using.
Catholic clergy sex abuse victims are protesting a move by the Archdiocese of St. The case involves an unnamed Twin Cities man who alleges he was sexually abused by former priest Thomas Adamson between and , while Adamson was serving at Church of the Risen Savior in Burnsville. The lawsuit filed against both the archdiocese and the Diocese of Winona charges that church officials knew of abuse complaints but did nothing to prevent further abuse.
But Ramsey District Judge Gregg Johnson dismissed the case in October, saying the alleged abuse happened too long ago, according to the statute of limitations. The alleged victim is now appealing that decision. A Superior Court Justice has given the go-ahead for former students of a Roman Catholic secondary school near Quebec City to sue the priests who allegedly sexually abused them.
Lawyer Pierre Boivin said it's the first time in Quebec a class-action suit has been filed against a religious order -Congregation du Tres-Saint-Redempteur -and the amount could reach into the millions of dollars. So far, dozens of alleged victims of the former boarding school, Seminaire St. Alphonse, have come forward, but Boivin said he believes once word spreads, it could reach into the hundreds. AKI - Activists in the northern coastal city of Savona on Thursday planned to distribute leaflets throughout the province condemning the Catholic church's failure to take action over local paedophile clergy.
The leaflet by the Committee for the Victims of Paedophilia in the Savona Area will especially blame Savona's bishop, Vittorio Lupi, and the Savona diocese for the alleged clerical sex abuse. While paedophile priest scandals have rocked the United States, Ireland and Germany, abuse cases in Italy have been emerging slowly.
Around sexual abuse victims including Italian victims on 31 October marched in Rome near the Vatican to demand Pope Benedict XVI take firmer action against priests who committed abuse. Sexual abuse and religious freedom are some of the major issues the Roman Catholic Church is dealing with today. A dozen alleged victims of Father Raymond-Marie Lavoie had sought the right to file a civil suit, seeking damages from him and College St-Alphonse.
Lavoie was a music teacher at the defunct Roman Catholic college near Quebec City and he also oversaw the dormitory. Berlin - A Catholic Church hotline has so far logged complaints of sexual molestation by German clergy and other church officials, bishops said Wednesday. The church has been rocked this year by claims that it knowingly covered up paedophile priests.
Pope Benedict XVI responded with an order to report all sexual advances on children to police. The German telephone hotline, set up in March, has mainly collected cases that happened too long ago to be now prosecuted. More recent cases are being investigated by German police. Fiala is accused of sexually assaulting a year-old boy several times -- including twice at gunpoint between and -- when he was a pastoral administrator at Sacred Heart of Mary Parish in Rocksprings, Texas. The story -- in today's Star -- gets even worse. Fiala, who used to be a Catholic priest with KCK's Archdiocese between and , is accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill the boy.
Isn't that what Jesus would do? Fiala, 52, was reportedly arrested last week after trying to hire a hit man read: Add charges of criminal solicitation to commit capital murder to his tab, which includes several counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child. Former students can sue priests for abuse: Father Raymond-Marie Lavoie, 70, was arrested last December by the Surete du Quebec and charged with various sexual crimes involving nine minors.
BERLIN - Germany's Roman Catholic Church says self-described victims have reported cases of sexual abuse to its hotline, of which were allegedly committed by priests or monks. Germany's Bishops Conference said in a statement Wednesday its psychologists and other experts have also had in-depth conversations with some 3, people in the first six months of the hotline's existence. It said people confirmed the abuse allegations in a follow-up survey, and more than 80 per cent said they had been repeatedly abused. It said almost one in ten was seeking legal advice, and 6 per cent asked about financial compensation.
The year old leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints FLDS was previously convicted in southern Utah as an accomplice to rape of a year old girl, a member of his church that Jeffs' married spiritually to her year old cousin. The conviction was over turned by the Utah Supreme Court in July citing flawed instructions to the jury. Prosecutors in Washington County where he was tried and convicted have not determined whether they will re-try Jeffs.
Survivors Voice Europe Up and Running! Adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse are finally beginning to be recognized collectively on a global level. We are pleased to announce that we have launched our Survivors Voice Europe website. The success of our Reformation Day event, has helped us in raising awareness of the continuing needs of adult survivors around the globe. We've received thousands of visits on our website over the last month and we continue to be contacted by survivors from around the world on a daily basis, some of whom are speaking of their own abuse for the first time.
Courage is not defined by telling your story in front of cameras to the world. It's defined by telling one person, that person is the one in the mirror. In admitting to yourself that you were a victim as a child, and then reaching out for help is the bravest step a survivor takes. Yesterday, we received an email from yet another survivor of Rev. Joseph Birmingham, the man who is responsible for our abuse, as well as over others that we know of. This survivor was reaching out for the first time. It was a reminder of why we continue to do, what we do. Advocates for victims of clergy sex abuse say a Wisconsin appeals court decision that insurers need not cover damages caused by likely child molesters whom churches represented as risk-free should spur faith communities to demand greater accountability from church leaders.
Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, SNAP, argues that since dollars from the collection plate will pay for damages caused by abusive priests whom church officials knew were likely to offend, parishioners have an even stronger claim to a role in priest monitoring and child safety. Luc De Bruyne 53 , voormalig Broeder van Liefde en orthopedagoog van het Medisch Pedagogisch Instituut Tordale in Torhout, is gisteren na een jarenlange procedure veroordeeld tot 10 jaar cel wegens seksueel misbruik van mentaal gehandicapte jongens.
Het openbaar ministerie had zes jaar gevorderd, de rechtbank deed er nog vier jaar bovenop. Met de veroordeling van de gewezen Broeder van Liefde en orthopedagoog Luc De Bruyne komt een einde aan een schandaal dat al tien jaar geleden uitbrak in het MPI Tordale. De toenmalige raad van bestuur, onder leiding van broeder-directeur Roger Huyghe, veegde de klacht onder de mat. Toch werd De Bruyne uit voorzorg naar Rwanda gestuurd. De ouders van de jongen stapten in naar het gerecht dat hun klacht wel ernstig nam.
Catholic Church demands action The extraordinary move, sanctioned by the Churchs head in Scotland Cardinal Keith OBrien, marks a declaration of war against the SFA, who are investigating their Head of Referee Development after the storm erupted earlier this month. A strongly worded letter from the Churchs media director Peter Kearney insists that Dallas should have no future in sport if he is found guilty of forwarding by email a graphic joke about the Pope, which alludes to paedophilia. The email contains an image of a children's school crossing sign and makes reference to the Pope's visit.
Light of the World: Exactly one year later [after the Williamson affair], the darkest clouds gather over the Catholic Church. As though out of a deep abyss, countless incomprehensible cases of sexual abuse from the past come to light — acts committed by priests and religious. The clouds cast their shadows even on the Chair of Peter. Now no one is talking any more about the moral authority for the world that is usually granted a pope.
How great is this crisis? Is it really, as we occasionally read, one of the greatest in the history of the Church? Yes, it is a great crisis, we have to say that. It was upsetting for all of us. Suddenly so much filth. It was really almost like the crater of a volcano, out of which suddenly a tremendous cloud of filth came, darkening and soiling everything, so that above all the priesthood suddenly seemed to be a place of shame and every priest was under the suspicion of being one like that too. Many priests declared that they no longer dared to extend a hand to a child, much less go to a summer camp with children.
For me the affair was not entirely unexpected. In the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith I had already dealt with the American cases; I had also seen the situation emerge in Ireland. But on this scale it was nevertheless an unprecedented shock. Since my election to the Chair of Peter I had already met several times with victims of sexual abuse.
Three and a half years ago, in October , in my address to the bishops of Ireland, I had called for them to bring the truth to light, to take whatever steps necessary to prevent such egregious crimes from occurring again, to ensure that the principles of law and justice are fully respected and, above all, to bring healing to the victims.
Suddenly to see the priesthood so defiled, and with it the Catholic Church herself, at the very heart — that was something that we were really just beginning to cope with. But it was imperative not to lose sight of the fact that there is good in the Church and not only those horrible things. The Archbishop of Dublin told me something very interesting about that. He said that ecclesiastical penal law functioned until the late s; admittedly, it was not perfect — there is much to criticise about it — but nevertheless it was applied.
After the mid-sixties, however, it was simply not applied any more. Het openbaar ministerie heeft grote vragen bij Operatie Kelk, het Brusselse onderzoek naar seksueel misbruik in de Kerk. Zo weet het college van procureurs-generaal nu nog altijd niet welke feiten de Brusselse onderzoeksrechter Wim De Troy precies mocht onderzoeken.
Waren de feiten al dan niet verjaard? Ging het wel om minderjarigen? Was De Troy wel territoriaal bevoegd? We weten het allemaal nog altijd niet. Why condom comments are no earthquake in Catholic teaching. Pope on condoms, sex abuse, resignation As always, Benedict XVI offers a fascinating diagnosis of the situation facing the church and the wider world. Vooral de naam van de Brugse procureur des konings, Jean-Marie Berkvens, klinkt steeds luider.
Op de eerste hoorzitting van de bijzondere commissie zat Tommy Scholtes, de woordvoerder van de bisschoppen, op de banken van de commissieleden en de pers. Dat is bij verschillende kamerleden in het verkeerde keelgat geschoten. Pope Benedict XVI, a brilliant theologian, is becoming a public relations train wreck. What was he thinking? It certainly took me a while to figure it out. Of course, the media dust-up and subsequent blogitis has lots of folks laughing again at the Catholic Church. Now the Catholic idea seems to be: But who hires male prostitutes?
The Holy Father has not called for a new debate on the morality of contraception. He has not suggested that condom use might sometimes be morally justifiable. Yet today millions of people around the world believe that the Pontiff has changed Church teaching, has opened the question of contraception for debate, and has justified condom use in some circumstances.
How did that happen? Yet again, Pope Benedict has been badly served by his public-relations staff. In a new book, the Pope admits that maybe he should have launched a global investigation into clergy sex crimes back in Now is he doing what any responsible leader would do — ordering bishops to turn over priest personnel files to law enforcement? These are flawed analogies, of course, because they imply that church staff are passive victims of forces beyond their control when, in fact, this crisis is caused by church staff themselves.
Het boek gaat naar verluidt over een man "die zich als dienaar Gods vrij van zonden waant, een man die zich tot op het laatst aan zijn bisschopsmijter heeft vastgeklampt. Im Bistum Basel gebe es viele engagierte Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter. Die Frauenordination sei eine weltkirchliche Frage. So steht es in dem neuen Interviewbuch Licht der Welt, das morgen erscheint. Die Jugendleiter gehen mit verbundenen Augen durch den Raum. Die Jugendleiter probierten es aus und suchten nach Antworten.
De directeur en een andere opvoeder van Tordale werden eerder al tot zware celstraffen veroordeeld. Midden de jaren 90 kwam het onderzoek naar seksueel misbruik van minderjarige jongens in het MPI Tordale in een stroomversnelling na klachten tegen broeder-orthopedagoog Luc D.
Die broeder wacht nog op de uitspraak in november. Gisteren sprak de Brugse strafrechtbank een vierde in opspraak gekomen werknemer vrij. De rechtbank oordeelde de tenlasteleggingen tegen Luc C. De oud Chiro-leider, gehuwd en vader van twee kinderen, barste bij de vrijspraak in tranen uit. Als directeur van het medisch pedagogisch instituut Tordale in Torhout misbruikte hij jarenlang mentaal gehandicapte jongens. Net als in eerste aanleg hoorde Huyghe zich veroordelen tot tien jaar opsluiting. De ouders van de slachtoffers onthaalden het arrest op applaus.
In Huize Tordale volgen zo'n vierhonderd licht tot matig mentaal gehandicapte jongeren aangepast onderwijs. Huyghe lag mee aan de basis van de oprichting van het MPI en was er van tot directeur. Na zijn pensionering kwamen de eerste klachten binnen. Het hof achtte bewezen dat hij zich jarenlang schuldig had gemaakt aan de verkrachting en aanranding van tientallen jongens.
Late last week, news broke that St. The settlement was offered to victims aged 48 and over who are outside the state's statute of limitations. A bill that would have changed the law for civil cases involving child sexual abuse, assault or exploitation died in the last legislative session, when the hospital and the Archdiocese of Hartford threw their weight — and church bulletins — against it.
The amount will be decided by an arbitrator, minus lawyer's fees and the like — although wouldn't it be nice if the hospital paid those fees, instead? A Fairbanks jury found Shawn Anthony Justice, 32, guilty of most of the charges, but deadlocked on three charges and found him not guilty of one count after more than week of testimony.
Meaning of "Rindenhütte" in the German dictionary
Each count of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor is a class B felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Fiala, who served in the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas in and , was arrested last week in Dallas by Texas Rangers and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers during a murder-for-hire investigation. Fiala, 52, is accused of negotiating with an undercover agent to have the teen killed, said a Texas DPS spokeswoman. He was charged with one count of criminal solicitation to commit capital murder.
John Fiala, 52, was arrested by state troopers Thursday after he negotiated a 5, dollar hit with an undercover agent, the Texas Department of Public Safety said in a statement. The investigation began after a neighbor tipped off the sheriff of a nearby county, the San Antonio Express-News reported. He sat down with NewsChannel 4's Zach Tecklenburg about the past and present challenges facing the faith.
Nickless also worked as a "vicar for clergy" in Denver, which meant he dealt with misconduct among priests. He says the diocese has done a good job of fixing past transgressions, offering counseling and support to victims, and following a national charter to keep kids safe. A Roman Catholic priest, already charged with having sexually abused a boy, has now been charged with trying to hire someone to kill the teenager. Father John Fiala of Dallas, Texas, who was out on bond on sexual assault charges against the youth, was arrested last week after he negotiated with an undercover officer to murder the teenager, according to US authorities.

What he finds will turn the image of this popularized Catholic figure on its head. He merely facilitated their spread by his actions and inactions. In fact, he resisted and fought some of them. His record on the life issues would be hard to improve upon. But it is doubtful that we ever had a pope before who was so influenced by worldly thinking and trends.
Phenomenology, existentialism, ecumenism, and perhaps the influence of modernist theologians were just some of the worldly trends that seemed to shape his thinking. When allegations of child sexual molestation against the Rev. Alejandro "Alex" Jose Castillo were made public in September, parishioners created a group to defend the Ontario Catholic priest.
Castillo was jailed last month on charges of felony sex crimes against a year-old boy. The Coalition to Exonerate Fr. Each Friday night, parishioners gather for a four-hour vigil to pray for him. The coalition is one of at least groups that have formed around the country to support clergy accused of sexual abuse, according to Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests, or SNAP.
After almost every allegation of priest sexual abuse, at least some parishioners vocally defend the accused, a reflection of the deference toward and admiration of priests among many congregants, said David Clohessy, the national director of SNAP. Fiala was arrested at his home Thursday in Garland after he allegedly negotiated a murder arrangement with an undercover officer. Father John Fiala, 52, was arrested last week in Dallas County after he was caught on tape by investigators trying to hire a hit man to kill the teen who's accused Fiala of sexual abuse.
Attorney Tom Rhodes said as shocking as the allegations may seem, he was not surprised Fiala had tried to hire someone to kill his client because the teen claimed the priest had threatened his life multiple times in the past. By way of response, Pope Benedict says: It does not matter if the fraud was committed by a CEO conspiring with a board of directors or a bishop conspiring with a pedophile priest.
Current and past archbishops and bishops of the Milwaukee archdiocese have been and are engaged in deliberate and various practices of institutional misrepresentation and concealment. They must insist on becoming full participants in how the church investigates, disciplines and fires priests who commit acts of sexual abuse and how church finances are collected, distributed, and audited. These victims are insisting, as they should, that Listecki first commit to future child safety measures before any monetary discussions take place to settle cases.
Catholics can send an unmistakable signal to Listecki that they support the proposals these victims are bringing to him. Here at GetReligion, we respond to the news of the day. We spent a lot of time discussing how the mainstream media handled the Vatican sex abuse crisis earlier this year. The Ethics and Public Policy Center hosted a gathering of journalists from mainstream secular outlets to reflect on what went right and what went wrong with that coverage.
It sounds like it was a fascinating discussion. Among the reporters present was Laurie Goodstein, whose New York Times work on the matter fueled much of the controversy. CNN -- A Catholic priest, facing criminal charges and a lawsuit alleging that he sexually abused a teenage boy, is now charged with attempting to hire someone to kill the youth, authorities said Tuesday. Fiala was in the Dallas County, Texas, jail on Tuesday, charged with one count of criminal solicitation to commit capital murder, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety and the jail's website.
He also is charged with two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child. A Roman Catholic priest suspended after federal agents in Philadelphia seized his laptop has sought riches online through various marketing schemes. Geraldo Pinero endorses several "multi-level marketing" companies, or MLMs, in Facebook, blog and other postings.
The year-old pastor calls himself "Jerry from Philly" and is shown, sans collar, wearing a tuxedo or sweater. He promises recruits they can get rich selling candles, life coaching or other services. The case of a former Omaha priest charged with sexual assault in Texas has become even stranger: Fiala is accused of trying to hire someone to kill his accuser. Police say Father John Fiala was arrested last week in Dallas after allegedly offering a neighbor five-thousand dollars to kill the year-old. Fiala faces solicitation to commit murder and aggravated sexual assault of a child charges after allegedly raping the teen at gunpoint.
The 1st District Court of Appeals decision, if it stands, means the archdiocese may have to pay millions of dollars to settle the cases. The archdiocese is currently in mediation with the plaintiffs and likely will appeal the ruling to the state Supreme Court, archdiocese spokesman Jerry Topczewski said in a statement. Bisschop Hans van den Hende van Breda moet op 18 januari volgend jaar voor de rechtbank in Middelburg getuigen in een zaak over seksueel misbruik gepleegd door een reeds veroordeelde pater.
De rechtbank Middelburg het verzoek tot het houden van een voorlopig getuigenverhoor gisteren toegewezen. Het gaat om zes getuigen, waaronder ook om kardinaal Ad Simonis en oud-bisschop Huub Ernst. Verzoeker zelf wordt ook gehoord. De verhoren zijn nodig om de kansen bij een rechtszaak beter in te kunnen schatten, of om te voorkomen dat bewijs verloren gaat, zoals bij vertrek of overlijden van een getuige. Simonis staat gepland op 25 januari De vraag is dus of hij dergelijke woorden zal herhalen bij het getuigenverhoor.
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee's commercial general liability insurance would not cover claims by some victims of clergy sex abuse, the state's Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday. The court agreed with a trial court's ruling that because the actions at issue in more than a dozen lawsuits were volitional, not accidental, the insurance does not apply. The ruling will likely hasten settlement talks between the many plaintiffs and the archdiocese, which would face potentially giant verdicts if juries found at trial that it had committed fraud.
Kardinaal Simonis was 38 jaar actief bisschop. In die periode zijn hem "tien gevallen ter oren gekomen" van seksueel misbruik binnen de roomskatholieke kerk. Tegen de daders deed hij indertijd geen aangifte. Deze gevallen werden intern afgedaan. Over de vele meldingen van misbruik die de afgelopen tijd naar buiten zijn gekomen zei hij: De kardinaal sluit zich ook aan bij de brief van de paus en hoopt op "heling en genezing van dit kwaad.
Rome, November 22, In accord with the authority that the Holy Father has granted him see no. Cardinal De Paolis will name the two new general councilors at the beginning of after consulting all priests and all religious who have made their final vows or their first renewal of temporary vows. First changes introduced to Legionaries CathNews. Vatican legate Cardinal Velasio De Paolis has begun to introduce changes to the Legionaries of Christ as Pope Benedict acknowledged that the Vatican had been slow to act on the scandal in the order.
Pope Benedict appointed De Paolis to take over the Legion and profoundly reform it after a Vatican investigation concluded that its founder was a fraud who sexually abused seminarians and fathered at least three children. Die commissie is er gekomen naar aanleiding van de pedofilieschandalen in de Kerk. Volgens hem wordt de Rooms-katholieke kerk in dit land van binnenuit aangevallen door katholieken die al lang geen katholieken meer zijn. We zijn nu ongeveer een half jaar na de start van het schandaal van het kindermisbruik in de Katholieke Kerk in Vlaanderen.
Het is interessant die periode in haar geheel te overschouwen en te zien wat zich daarin geleidelijk duidelijker demonstreerde. Het lijkt intussen niet langer te gaan om een afrekening met structuren die tot seksueel- en machtsmisbruik leidden, maar met de katholieke kerk als zodanig. David Berger, a gay theologian who has written a book about his experiences as a senior theologian in the Catholic Church, speaks to SPIEGEL about homophobia and the church's shift to the right. Berger, you describe the Catholic Church as a homophobic organization. Why did it take you, a homosexual theologian, so long to resign from your offices in the church?
Because such an exit isn't a question of days. Even as a child I wanted to be a priest, but by the time I had finished high school it was clear to me that I would not be able to live a life of celibacy. Yes, because the church never lost its attraction for me. The Tridentine Mass was like a gateway drug for me. What I saw there was a fascinatingly aesthetic baroque dream of leaf gold and Brussels Bobbin lace. I couldn't get away from it. It only became clear to me later what I had got involved in, and the dream turned more and more into a nightmare. Four men tortured children, feeding them feces and locking them in suitcases; one has been in a coma since after severe beating.
Ben-Or sentenced David Avraham Kugman to 20 years in jail and a one-year suspended sentence and ordered him to pay NIS , in compensation to the children. Avraham Maskalchi and Shimon Gabai were each sentenced to 17 years in jail, a one-year suspended sentence and ordered to pay NIS , in compensation. Jerusalem District Court sentenced Tuesday four disciples of self proclaimed Rabbi Elior Chen to lengthy prison sentences, after they were convicted of child abuse earlier this year.
The four were convicted in February of severely abusing eight children. David Kugman- the central defendant in the case — was sentenced to 20 years in jail; Avraham Mascalchi and Shimon Gabai were sentenced to 17 years in prison, and Ro'i Tzoref was sentenced to 30 months in prison after the court ruled that he played a minor part in the abuse. The child abuse affair was uncovered two years ago, when a child Chen had been treating was taken to the hospital unconscious.
Once the story became public, Chen fled to Brazil, which extradited him back to Israel. He is now on trial at the Jerusalem District Court. The head of the Vatican's evangelization office says the Vatican would be wise to look at who covered up for Marciel Maciel inside the Legion.

Have you ever known clergy abuse activists to be happy about a bishop appointment? You have a problem. People are leaving your church in droves. WHEN THE working day is over, even the pope likes to sit down and watch the news or maybe a favourite film such as the Don Camillo movies from the s, films about the never-ending struggles between a parish priest and a communist mayor in a small Italian village. Indeed, some commentators have argued that the major reason for producing this extended interview was, at least partially, to redress some of the many public relations fiascos that have marked his first five years as pope.
For example, when asked about the child sex abuse crisis, the pope says: I had already dealt with American [sex abuse] cases at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and I had seen the situation developing in Ireland. Yet, the dimensions of the problem were a tremendous shock.

At issue in the case are 13 lawsuits accusing the Archdiocese of misrepresentation. They allege the archdiocese realized priests posed a threat to children but still insisted they did not have histories of molesting children and weren't a danger to kids. Two trial judges ruled the archdiocese's insurer, OneBeacon Insurance Company, wasn't liable to cover damages arising from the suits.

Vaticaankenner Stijn Fens wilde een vrolijk boek schrijven over wat hij zag gedurende de twintig jaar dat hij over de muren van het Vaticaan mocht kijken. Een boek over de schoenmaker van de paus, over de Zwitserse garde, over kleurrijke kardinalen. Daar heb ik daarna een hoofdstuk aan gewijd. Dus ja, er zit een wending in het boek.

Waarom pas in april? Vorig jaar november werd bekend hoe groot het misbruikschandaal in Ierland is. Door het nieuws in Duitsland kwam de paus zelf in beeld. Ik zat in april in Rome, om de pauselijke zegen Urbi et Orbi te verslaan. Als journalist krijg je de toespraak van de paus van tevoren. Ik had hem al gelezen en het was me opgevallen dat de paus niets zei over het misbruik. Toen dacht ik dat ik er echt iets over moest zeggen in mijn boek.
De groep verzamelde ruim pedofilieklachten. Volgens de priester legden hooguit 15 daders bekentenissen af, onder meer omdat bijna geen enkele bisschop meewerkte.

As we previewed here, the Pope gathered his cardinals last week in Rome, and promised a meaningful discussion regarding clergy childhood sexual abuse. In reality, as SNAP laments, the meeting of cardinals at the Vatican last week was just as expected, no action, no change, no substance.
Once again, new guidelines on child sex abuse will be issued within the church, but once again, these guidelines will fail to call for mandatory reporting of credible allegations of abuse. Sadly, the biggest news of the weekend regarding the Pope was not his failure to act meaningfully on child sex abuse, but rather his statement on condom use. This an attempt to smooth over the media relations disaster in which the Pope, on his way to Africa, denounced the use of condoms in any circumstance, and even went as far as to say that condom use in Africa may in fact worsen the AIDS epidemic there.
In just the same way that the Pope attempts to shift public opinion in his favor by making a limited endorsement of condom use in a very rare circumstance, he attempts to earn favorable public opinion by holding a meeting with the cardinals and purporting to address meaningful change in handling child sexual abuse among clergy. Both are sneaky and disturbing attempts at image preservation over substantive change. In court papers, defense attorneys argue that sending Jeffs to Texas before a long-running criminal case is resolved denies him the right to a speedy trial.
They also objected to the conditions of an extradition agreement signed by Utah Gov. Gary Herbert and Texas Gov. Rick Perry that would deny Jeffs bail in Texas.
