Church blames Devil-inspired children over sex abuse
...
The reason why the church covered up the abuse and moved priests about
is because they did not blame the priests, they blamed the children.
With this knowledge observe the reaction of church authorities. They
look as if they would like to say it, but can’t.
And that is it. They can’t because they believe society is now
over-sentimental about children and they would not be understood. This
was confirmed to me when I met an old priest tucked away in a nursing
home despite the fact he was not unwell.
At one point he suggested Cardinal Ó Fiaich should be canonised, I
rejected the idea, pointing out he was involved in the cover-up of abuse.
The old priest said: “People should forgive him, after all we are
prepared to forgive the children.” I asked: “Forgive the children what?”
He replied: “Their share of the blame.”
...
They see themselves as the victims and everything that has happened, up
to and including the Murphy report, is part of the attack that these
Devil-inspired, tempter children have been responsible for in their
attempts to destroy the church.
Every victim who then claims against the church is simply acting in the
role in which they have been cast. Having tempted the poor, weak priest
into sin they then add insult to injury by trying to destroy the church
by attempting to steal its money.
With this logic in mind everything falls into place. The problem is not
a legal or a moral one, it is spiritual.
