Opdat geen kind meer hoeft te zegggen, geen ouder meer hoeft te horen: “Ahora entiendo que no era normal que me tocaran” El Síndic denuncia una cadena de fallos en el ‘caso Maristas’

“Cuando se habla de pederastia la gente cree que se ataca la fe Estamos en pañales ante la denuncia 

de estos abusos. Aún nos pesa la represión educativa y cultural del franquismo”

Javier Paz, 

Asociación de Víctimas de Abusos Sexuales de la Iglesia Católica

Para el defensor del pueblo catalán en todos los casos “se ha desatendido el principio de interés superior del menor”, consagrado en diferentes tratados internacionales. Se trata de un concepto que obliga a los Gobiernos a que sus funciones tengan como objetivo la protección de los niños. Ribó cree que tanto que los Maristas como la Fiscalía y los mossos no cumplieron con este principio al no investigar si había más víctimas del exprofesor Joaquín Benítez, que trabajó en el centro hasta 2011, durante 30 años, y que ha confesado que abusó de al menos dos estudiantes. Las denuncias ante la policía catalana por abusos en el centro educativo y que involucran a otros tres profesores (incluido un directivo que fue cesado) ya llegan a la veintena.

“Ha fallado estrepitosamente el protocolo. Nunca se activó”, dijo Ribó. La actuación de oficio del Síndic se cerró ayer con una reunión de todas las ocho entidades que en 2006 habían firmado el protocolo marco antiabusos. Entre los asistentes estaba la consejera de Enseñanza, Meritxell Ruiz. En la pasada legislatura, Ruiz era la Directora General de Atención a la Familia y la Comunidad Educativa.


De acuerdo con el Síndic, las partes no fueron prolijas en la autocrítica. “La opinión general es de que si ha pasado algo como lo que ha pasado es que algo ha fallado”, contó Ribó. Las partes se emplazaron a otra reunión, el 17 de marzo, en la que se espera que las partes aporten ideas para mejorar el protocolo. Ribó defendió que el texto es adaptable a casos en los que los abusos sean cometidos dentro del centro educativo.

El informe del Síndic concluye que el centro “ocultó” los casos de pederastia y obvió los protocolos al no notificar ni a la Dirección General de Atención a la Infancia y la Adolescencia (DGAIA) ni a Enseñanza. También establece que la comunidad escolar y las familias tenían derecho estar informados de “la actuación de un docente que podía afectar también a la integridad se sus hijos”.

La actuación del Departamento Enseñanza, desde tiempos del tripartito de José Montilla, también queda en entredicho. Para el Síndic se constata el incumplimiento del “deber de hacer cumplir los protocolos” ni su difusión entre la comunidad educativa y el “establecimiento de su obligatoriedad”. Ribó aclaró además que estos documentos se deben acatar independientemente de la titularidad del centro, lo que desmonta las explicaciones que en su día dieron el departamento de Enseñanza y los Maristas.

Los Mossos y la Fiscalía, por su parte, debieron comunicar sus actividades a la DGAIA, dice el informe del defensor del pueblo catalán. Ribó se mostró respetuoso con la decisión judicial de archivar el caso pero reprochó que la Fiscalía no investigara por su parte sobre si había más abusos en el centro (una facultad que tiene) y que no presentara recurso contra el archivo dictado por el juez después de que la familia decidiera no seguir con la denuncia.

Finalmente, el Síndic recomendó a Enseñanza que revise su actuación en el caso e investigue si hay otros alumnos afectados en el centro. También denunció que la Generalitat nunca desarrolló un centro específico de atención para casos de abusos a menores, estipulado en la ley de protección al menor de 2010. El Ayuntamiento de Barcelona dijo ayer que pedirá la retirada el concierto educativo del centro si se demuestran irregularidades.

 4.  Recomanacions del Síndic

En relació amb el centre educatiu Maristes el Síndic demana al Departament d'Ensenyament:

 1. Revisar l'actuació del centre docent i la seva actuació en relació els fets i adoptar les mesures que preveu el marc normatiu.

2. Adoptar mesures per esbrinar si hi ha altres alumnes o ex alumnes afectats i oferir-los assessorament i assistència.

Amb caràcter general, el Síndic demana al Departament de Treball, Afers Socials i Famílies i al Departament d'Ensenyament:

 1. Impulsar l'adopció de mesures de caire transversal entre els diversos departaments per garantir l'aplicació del Protocol Marc d'actuacions en casos d'abusos sexuals i altres maltractaments greus a menors, de 2006, mitjançant una difusió adequada i formació dels professionals i dels mateixos infants. La tasca d'impuls hauria de ser liderada pel departament competent en matèria d'infància

2. Desenvolupar la creació d'un servei d'atenció especialitzada adreçat a infants i adolescents víctimes d'haver patit abús sexual que vetlli per la prevenció i detecció activa dels abusos sexuals dels menors, en els termes que estableix la Llei 14/2010, de 27 de maig , dels drets i les oportunitats en la infància i l'adolescència (article 93).

3. Garantir el coneixement i aplicació del Protocol marc de 2006 i del Protocol bilateral de maltractaments de 2012 a tots els centres educatius i implicar la Inspecció educativa en la seva observació.

4. Garantir la formació als professionals de l'àmbit educatiu, mitjançant l'establiment d'un professional de referència a cada centre que tingui formació específica en drets dels infants, indicadors de risc i protecció davant els maltractaments.

5. Establir mecanismes d'escolta als alumnes dins els centres educatius i facilitar-los

informació sobre els mecanismes existents per adreçar-se a la DGAIA, a la Fiscalia i al Síndic.

6. Oferir formació especifica a l'alumnat de prevenció de l'abús sexual i de tracte

BXVI, From the Vatican, March 19th, 2010

The film Spotlight chronicles the story of how investigative journalists revealed a dark and shameful time in the history of the Catholic Church. The revelations were made in Boston, USA, but it soon became evident that this was a worldwide scandal for the Catholic Church.

The release of the film in South Africa can be an especially painful time for survivors of sexual abuse by clergy. The Church continues to seek forgiveness for the harm that the crime of the abuse of minors has caused.

Although painful, the Church acknowledges the role that journalists and victims played in helping to uncover paedophile clergy. Some victims suffered even more when families, society, authorities and leaders in the Church did not believe their stories. Openness and transparency is the only way that the evil of abuse can be confronted and dealt with. Sexual abuse must be exposed; it is a heinous crime.

The Catholic Church is committed to take responsibility for its failings and reforming itself so that what was shameful and hidden can be dealt with. The Church is committed to the protection of children first.

The Church in Southern Africa, under the direction of the Southern African Catholic Bishops’ Conference, has setup a Professional Conduct Committee which has drawn up strict protocols to ensure that it deals with any allegations of abuse in a responsible and transparent way and in compliance with civil law.

Those entering the priesthood are strictly screened to evaluate their emotional, cognitive, social and personality functioning. This includes an interview, with amongst others, a registered psychologist.

Spotlight reminds us that we need to remain vigilant and do all we can to protect children. Any allegation of abuse will be acted upon by the Church immediately in accordance with the law of the country and the protocols that have been put in place.

Kinderschutz:r setzt sich weltweit für den Kinderschutz ein: Von seiner Kirche fordert der deutsche Jesuit Hans Zollner mehr Mut zur Wahrheit.

Er setzt sich weltweit für den Kinderschutz ein: Von seiner Kirche fordert der deutsche Jesuit Hans Zollner mehr Mut zur Wahrheit.

Alle diese Fälle sind erschütternd. Besonders bewegt und empört aber hat mich die Geschichte von Marie Collins, meiner Kollegin in der päpstlichen Kinderschutzkommission. Sie sprach auf unserem ersten großen Treffen an der Universität Gregoriana 2012. Marie erzählte, wie sie als 13-Jährige von einem Kaplan missbraucht wurde, als sie im Krankenhaus lag. Ich weiß nicht, woher sie den Mut nahm, im Beisein ihres Mannes vor 120 Bischöfen und 35 Ordensoberen die Übergriffe des Täters zu beschreiben – dazu das Versagen der kirchlichen Stellen. Die trugen nicht nur dazu bei, dass Marie jahrzehntelang allein war mit ihrem Leid und sich sogar Selbstvorwürfe machte. Sie waren auch schuld, dass der Täter weitere Jugendliche missbrauchte.

Von vielen Bischöfen habe ich gehört, dass die Begegnung mit Marie Collins für sie ein Wendepunkt war. Von da an konnten sie die Opfer nicht mehr ignorieren. Doch weiter kommt Schreckliches ans Licht. Zuletzt: sexuelle Gewalt, die im Bistum Hildesheim verübt wurde, und verschiedene Arten von Missbrauch, unter denen Hunderte Domspatzen gelitten haben.

"None of this has to mean a single thing to any survivor.
None of this has anything to do with the justice which so many are still seeking. Everyone is free to see all this as a charade or a stunt or anything else they wish. But for those survivors to whom it did mean something it is not fair that they should be vilified by fellow survivors. "

The truth of the clergy sex abuse scandal would never have surfaced without the sustained courage of victims. In the same way, it will take the courage and work of victims, above all, to help return the church to health.

Marie Collins provides a stunning example of the kind of determination and courage required to get on with that latter phase of dealing with the scandal. It is enough that this abuse survivor from Ireland has dedicated so much of her life to establishing organizations and structures to protect children. That she would accept appointment to Pope Francis' Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors is a most generous gift to the church. The risks in taking the assignment were both enormous and inherent.

We are grateful that she initially accepted and that she has decided to stay on through the most recent upheaval involving fellow member Peter Saunders and the commission's decision that the only other victim on the commission take a leave of absence.

Personnel issues can be messy in any context, but particularly so when it appears that the institution that remained intentionally blind and deaf to the suffering of those abused by its priests was engaging in a new form of abuse.

The statement issued by Collins to explain the more complex reality is charged with the pain and conflicted emotions she feels, understanding full well the frustration of not only Saunders but also other victims at what must seem at times the glacier pace of change.

The vote, she explains in her statement, was occasioned by a discussion that arose "because of a difference in understanding of the mission and the powers of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors. If a member cannot commit to work on policy development -- which undoubtedly is laborious, tedious and slow -- while the other members are deeply committed to it, an impasse is reached."

"Any expectation that the Commission can attack or demand things of the Pope or insert themselves in particular cases ignores the actual mandate the group works under," continues Collins. "I understand the frustration, the emotion and the anger about what is still happening and should not be! But it cannot be addressed by the Commission."

Collins' credentials in this matter were earned in the horror of the scandal; they are embedded deeply in the scars of experience. Her integrity is unimpeachable. Invaluable at this point as her integrity and experience is her understanding that getting at the root of the problem now requires more than one disposition and more than a single strategy.

Victims have convinced the world, through persistent witness to the truth, that the sex abuse scandal was particularly heinous in the context of the Catholic church because it was a systemic ill, deeply embedded in the controlling, clerical culture, especially its leadership. It was hidden and rationalized in ways and to degrees impossible in other settings.

If the problem is that deep and systemic, it will not yield to simple or quick solutions.

While we all must remain diligent and, when necessary, expose the church's failures and keep calling its leaders to account, a need also exists for dealing with the problem at other levels that demand a different disposition and set of skills.

Collins made it clear in her statement that she is in for the long haul, taking on the tedious business of "working towards the implementation throughout the world of best practices in safeguarding, education in the area of abuse and justice for survivors. Policies produced are then recommended to the Pope."

The members of the commission, she writes, "are not pawns complicit in a PR exercise but good people with the safety of children at heart" and with diverse experience and expertise.

The commission needs time to argue and deliberate, to sort out best practices, to make recommendations to the pope that can be implemented globally. It needs the confidentiality that free discussion requires in this circumstance. Collins deserves trust that she would never be complicit in betraying the cause of protecting children. Saunders will have to determine for himself whether he is up for the tedious and time-consuming work required.

While Collins has "every confidence in the commission and its members," she does "not have the same confidence in those whose task it is to work with us within the Vatican and implement our proposals when approved by the Pope."

That is another way of stating that the stakes are high for those who wish no change and are in positions to undermine the commission's work and the intent of Francis.

"There are many of good will in the Curia," Collins writes, "but unfortunately there are still those, at this top level, who worry more about their own fiefdoms and the threat of change than they do about the work the commission is trying to do to protect children."

Diligence is still essential, but finding fault with the commission is "choosing the wrong target," she writes. Those who remain deeply invested in the old curial culture have the most to lose, and they are determined to stop change. "If the Commission is damaged from within," writes Collins, "these forces are the beneficiaries -- not survivors or children of the future."

Schools drop religious instruction after government changes ban teaching during class time

bron

The Age 

19-2- 2016

Dozens of Victorian schools have abandoned religious instruction after the state government moved the controversial program out of regular class time.

Lobby group Fairness in Religions in Schools said at least 55 schools had axed the program this year following changes introduced by the Andrews government, which they support.

The state's largest provider of special religious instruction, Access Ministries, said they expected the figure would rise.

In August, the Andrews government announced that special religious instruction would be axed from the Victorian curriculum and replaced with respectful relationship, global cultures, ethics and faith education.

The 30-minute religion classes can now only be delivered during lunchtime or before or after school.

Access Ministries spokesman Rob Ward said "bureaucratic obstacles" had made it challenging for some schools to continue offering the program.

Teachers must give up their lunch break, start work early, or stay back at school to supervise the classes, he said.

"We are very disappointed that the government made this decision. We don't think it is in the best interests of children," Mr Ward said.

He said Access Ministries had made its program more interactive to attract students during lunchtime.

"It is still about the principles and beliefs of the Christian faith, but it is more physical. There's craft work."



Fairness in Religions spokeswoman Lara Wood said schools had ditched the program because it was unpopular and had created a lot of extra work for teachers. 

She said religious instruction had no place in secular state schools. "If parents want this program they can easily send their children to church for Sunday school."

Kew MP Tim Smith raised concerns about the Andrews government's changes to the program at a public accounts and estimates hearing on Friday.

The Liberal MP said that while schools should be secular, SRI gave children an important understanding of faiths and different religions.


"We don't want people to be proselytising in school, but we do want students to have a knowledge of all religions."

SRI providers have battled to keep primary school students in the program after the state government changed its policy in 2011, requiring parents to opt in to the classes. In 2015, 374 schools offered the program, down from 603 the previous year.

A spokesman for Education Minister James Merlino said the changes struck the balance between between ensuring SRI was available when there was demand and resources, and giving students more time to focus on the curriculum.

"Principals are responsible for decision making around SRI and must carefully consider the level of parental demand for SRI, the circumstances of their school and the views of the school community," he said.



Greythorn Primary School in North Balwyn recently wrote to parents and told them that after "careful consideration" it had become apparent that the school was unable to offer SRI.


United Jewish Education Board president Yossi Goldfarb​ said his organisation was running the program in 15 schools this year, down from 38 schools the previous year.


"Our community is not entirely happy with these changes," he said.

"It is extremely difficult to offer these classes at lunchtime because kids need a break, and a bit of fresh air. Trying to maintain their interest when their friends are playing outside is difficult."

STATEMENT FROM THE OFFICE OF CARDINAL GEORGE PELL

Persmuseum 

19-2-2016 

Cardinal Pell is due to give evidence to the Royal Commission in just over one week.

The timing of these leaks is clearly designed to do maximum damage to the Cardinal and the Catholic Church and undermines the work of the Royal Commission.

The allegations are without foundation and utterly false.

It is outrageous that these allegations have been brought to the Cardinal’s attention through a media leak. These undetailed allegations have not been raised with the Cardinal by the police and the false claims investigated by Justice Southwell have been ignored by the police for over 15 years, despite the very transparent way they were dealt with by the Cardinal and the Catholic Church.

The Cardinal has called for a public inquiry into the leaking of these spurious claims by elements in the Victorian Police in a manner clearly designed to embarrass the Cardinal, in a case study where the historical failures of the Victorian Police have been the subject of substantial evidence. These types of unfair attacks diminish the work of those good officers of the police who are diligently working to bring justice to victims.

The Phillip Island allegations have been on the public record for nearly 15 years. The Southwell Report which exonerated Cardinal Pell has been in the public domain since 2002.

The Victorian police have taken no steps in all of that time to pursue the false allegations made, however the Cardinal certainly has no objection to them reviewing the materials that led Justice Southwell to exonerate him. The Cardinal is certain that the police will quickly reach the conclusion that the allegations are false.

The Victorian Police have never sought to interview him in relation to any allegations of child sexual abuse and apart from the false allegations investigated by Justice Southwell, the Cardinal knows of no claims or incidents which relate to him.

He strongly denies any wrongdoing. If the police wish to question him he will co-operate, as he has with each and every public inquiry.

In the meantime, the Cardinal understands that several media outlets have received confidential information leaked by someone within the Victorian Police. For elements of the police to publicly attack a witness in the same case study that has exposed serious police inaction and wrongdoing is outrageous and should be seen for what it is.

Given the serious nature of this conduct, the Cardinal has called for a public inquiry to be conducted in relation to the actions of those elements of the Victorian Police who are undermining the Royal Commission’s work. .

The Cardinal calls on the Premier and the Police Minister to immediately investigate the leaking of these baseless allegations.

Guilty 50 times: 'Father F’ identity revealed after child sex abuse verdicts; church leaders (including George Pell) know the story of Father F

In memory of Damian Jurd and Daniel Powell

updated 15 January 2016

Broken Rites has a policy of not publishing the real names of victims. However, Damian Jurd told us in the 1990s that he WANTS his name to be published when his story is told. Likewise, Daniel Powell told us in 2005 that he, too, wants his name published.

Therefore Broken Rites is publishing this article in memory of Damian Jurd and Daniel Powell, two boys who did not deserve their tragic deaths.

Feb. 16, 2016

A FORMER Catholic priest accused of sexually abusing three young altar boys in regional NSW in the 1980s has been found guilty of 10 child sex offences in a Sydney court.

John Joseph Farrell, also known as “Father F”, was tried for 17 offences he was accused of committing against the boys, aged 11 and 12, between 1980 and 1984.

Fairfax Media can reveal his identity after Judge Peter Zahra lifted a suppression order late yesterday, which had covered his name for more than two-and-a-half years.

Late yesterday, after two-and-a-half days of deliberations, a jury found Farrell guilty on 10 counts and not guilty on the other seven charges.

The court heard Farrell, who is no longer a priest, has already pleaded guilty to 40 other child sex offences and is awaiting sentencing for those crimes.


16,00 Update 17-2-2016  Father F' is found guilty - and his name is John Joseph Farrell

Broken Rites

A Sydney judge has released the name of a former Catholic priest, John Joseph Farrell (sometimes known as 'Father F'), who will be sentenced for 50 sexual crimes against children in northern New South Wales. Farrell, now aged 61, has previously pleaded guilty to 40 of these offences. On 16 February 2016 a jury found him guilty of ten additional offences.

Farrell was tried for 17 offences he was accused of committing against three boys, aged 11 and 12, between 1980 and 1984. After two-and-a-half days of deliberations, a jury found Farrell guilty on 10 counts and not guilty on seven other charges.

After the jury's verdict, Judge Peter Zahra lifted a suppression order, which had covered his Farrell's for more than two-and-a-half years.

The court was told that Farrell has already pleaded guilty to 40 other child sex offences and is already in custody, awaiting sentencing for those crimes.

During the February 2016 trial at Sydney’s Downing Centre District Court, Crown prosecutor Bryan Rowe outlined a series of alleged incidents in which Farrell groped, molested, raped or forced oral sex on the boys.

He said one of the boys was the victim of 11 separate offences, including repeated indecent assaults during trips to a local swimming pool. Farrell contested all of these charges.

Farrell was tried on 17 charges when the trial began in Sydney’s Downing Centre District Court on February 2. After several days of evidence, Judge Zahra directed the 12- member jury to find the accused man not guilty on two counts on the indictment before the court.

Farrell is expected to appear in court for his sentencing hearing, which has been scheduled for April 8 before Judge Zahra.

Farrell was first charged in 2012 by investigators from Strike Force Glenroe – an operation set up by detectives from the Sex Crimes Squad and local detectives in 2012 – to investigate claims of alleged sexual abuse.

• Australia's Catholic dioceses have agreed to provide an entity for victims to sue over sex abuse claims
• In Ballarat, current bishop Paul Bird has volunteered to put himself forward as a defendant
• Bishop Bird's stance means victims can now sue the diocese

Dr Vivian Waller is representing victims who were abused during the reign of Bishop O'Collins, who died in 1983.

"It helps level up the playing field," she said.

"Traditionally, Catholic defendants engaged in out-of-court processes have always had the upper hand, because of the extreme difficulties faced by sexual abuse survivors in getting their matters to court.

"The consequence of Bishop Bird taking this position is that a number of people have been able to issue proceedings, and hopefully that means that the process will be a fairer one."

STATEMENT OF THE PONTIFICAL COMMISSION FOR THE PROTECTION OF MINORS *

Dichiarazione della Pontifica Commissione per la protezione dei minori

Santa Sede
[Text: English, Italiano, Español]

STATEMENT OF THE PONTIFICAL COMMISSION FOR THE PROTECTION OF MINORS

Cardinal Seán O’Malley, OFM Cap., President of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, together with all the Commission Members, issued today the following statement on the obligation to report suspected sexual abuse to civil authorities:

“As Pope Francis has so clearly stated: ‘The crimes and sins of the sexual abuse of children must not be kept secret for any longer. I pledge the zealous vigilance of the Church to protect children and the promise of accountability for all’ (27 September 2015). We, the President and the Members of the Commission, wish to affirm that our obligations under civil law must certainly be followed, but even beyond these civil requirements, we all have a moral and ethical responsibility to report suspected abuse to the civil authorities who are charged with protecting our society.”

Cardinal O’Malley’s statement continued, “In the United States, our Bishops’ Charter clearly states the obligation that all dioceses/eparchies and personnel report suspected abuse to the public authorities. Every year at our November meeting, at a training session for new Bishops, this obligation is reaffirmed, and every other February the Conference runs a second training program for new Bishops which also clearly and explicitly includes this obligation. As the Holy Father's advisory commission for the protection of minors, we recently shared with Pope Francis an overview of the Commission’s extensive education efforts in local Churches over the past two years and reiterated the Members’ willingness to provide this material at courses offered in Rome, including to the annual training program for new bishops and to the offices of the Roman Curia for their use in their own child protection efforts.”
