Is anyone still surprised at this anymore?

I know, this is apparently an old one but it's just been brought to light now.

Confidential letters between Los Angeles Catholic church officials that had been withheld for decades–despite long efforts by victims to obtain them and stonewalling by the Church–were released Monday after becoming part of a civil court case against a priest accused of molesting 26 Los Angeles children in the 1980s.

The notes from then-Archbishop Roger M. Mahony and Monsignor Thomas J. Curry, published by the Los Angeles Times, have provided even more insight as to how sexual- abuse accusations against priests have been covered up for years. The notes detail plans by the two men to keep police from discovering that children were being molested in Los Angeles parishes, with Curry suggesting the predator priestsnot see therapists who could then alert authorities; instead, he wanted to give priests out-of-state assignments to avoid criminal charges. Curry was the chief advisor to the Archbishop on sex-abuse cases at the time.

Impressively bad... even by Catholic Church standards.

There's a Documentary that came out recently called "Mea Maxima Culpa"
"Mea Maxima Culpa": New Doc Exposes Horror of Catholic Child Sex Abuser and Heroism of His Victims

"Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God," a new documentary by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney, investigates how a charismatic priest in Milwaukee abused more than 200 deaf children in a Catholic boarding school under his control. The young students were molested again and again by Father Lawrence Murphy, who stalked them in their dorm rooms at night, on trips to his rural cabin, and even in the confessional booth. Gibney joins us to discuss his new exposé, which opens this Friday in theaters in New York City and Los Angeles, and will debut on HBO.
Showing Monday, February 4, 2013, at 9 p.m.. Check your local listings for correct time.

The above link provides a discussion about the movie in some detail. Including the movie's covering the active handling and successful cover up by another of God's supreme pieces of shit the Catholic Church's current Pope Benedict XVI.

HBO's online preview of the film.

That despicable imaginary God of the Bible has a whole army of scumbags surrounding him that are doing a great job for themselves at the cost of their completely duped followers and I not just referring to the Catholics. When I was growing up I always heard from adults "You can tell a man's character by the people they associate themselves with". Why shouldn't that apply to God too?

There are only two types of religious people, the deceivers and the deceived. SS
