Dat verkeersbord bij de RAI: Tusla refuses access to adoption files

Amsterdam was die kant op! 

 25-8-2018

Conall Ó Fátharta
Irish Examiner

Tusla has refused repeated requests from the Adoption Authority of Ireland (AAI) for access to certain adoption records it holds.

Tusla is the largest repository of adoption records in the country, holding around 70,000 records from former adoption societies. A further 30,000 are held by the AAI, and some 50,000 are held by accredited agencies.
As the regulatory body for adoption in Ireland, the AAI has the power to inspect and copy all records held by bodies accredited under the Adoption Act 2010.
However, despite holding almost 50% of all adoption records in existence, Tusla is not an accredited body under the act and the AAI has no power over how it holds these records.
In response to a number of queries from the Irish Examiner, AAI chief executive Patricia Carey confirmed that “on occasion” it has been refused access to adoption records.
When asked if the AAI has concerns over the fact that it cannot inspect the largest body of adoption records in the State, Ms Carey said the regulatory body enjoys “a good working relationship” with Tusla and that all adoption records will transfer to the AAI once the Adoption Bill 2016 becomes law.
“The authority enjoys a good working relationship with Tusla and co-operates on the receipt and sharing of information, where appropriate, for the purposes of fulfilling its functions,” said Ms Carey.
“The provisions of the 2016 bill, once enacted, will mean that all adoption records not already held by the authority will be transferred to the custody of the authority.”
Ms Carey confirmed that while the AAI has no powers to inspect and copy adoption records held by Tusla, the agencies share information.
Tusla said it can not state how many times it has refused a request from the AAI as it “does not compile the data”. It said a Freedom of Information request can be made to learn the answer.
It said the reason it has refused the AAI requests is that it can only share personal information relating to clients/service users with a third party with the clients’ or users’ express consent.

Limburg één groot feest


Zalig een kind nog te zijn 
Delpher



Gesloten!

Het zijn maar acht letters.
Gewoon: velletje papier,  viltstiffie en een punaise: g e s l o t e n

Net zoals er een man was die een pokke-eind ging zwemmen en er dus allerlei mensen midden in nacht al dan niet met tractoren met koplampen pokke herrie in weilanden langs die sloten gingen staan trappen : hup Maarten tot de dokter besloot tot hier en niet verder en Maarten winnaar werd en het kanker onderzoek er een kleine drie miljoen bij kreeg.
Brieffie op de sloot: g e s l o t e n , en een dikke pijl: waar is dat feestje dáár is dat feestje: iedereen dik tevreden

En dan toch is er een idioot, die je natuurlijk helemaal geen idioot mag noemen want het is een journalist die het in de hersen haalt om die krankzinnige vraag te stellen
Have you been told who will be his replacement? 

En alweer loopt er nu weer iemand in Rome dit weekend, waarvan ik blij ben dat ik weet dat hij daar loopt en hoop dat ie een foto opstuurt, groetjes, Andrew, en dan die graag even op de voorpagina van de Irish Times, dank U. 




Ik zal 'm met veel plezier uitknippen en bij nog zo wat van mijn Rome souveniers bewaren bij mijn familie-papieren. Er zit al prachtig ijsbekertjes in, die iemand op dringend vezoek meenam: handen vol gereedschapschap om je vingers bij af te likkenen niet één maar meerdere als bewijs dat het inderdaad heel erg lekker was formaat slimme bloempotjes, en een foto van onder een lantaarpaal wat de laatste boodschap werd  vanuit Rome 

. En een van mijn zonen die dat een paar jaar daarvoor al bewees,  "nou ik er toch ben"  zich los maakte van zijn moeder en haar wijsheid: gij zijt een cultuurbarbaar, waardoor zonder dat hij dat wist in die familie-erfstukken werd opgenomen, staande op dat dak en de goden zij gedankt en geprezen al helemaal niet wist dat daar beneden hem die dag een commentaar op een zoveelste rapport werd uitgedeeld en een zenuwenlijdende priester-persvoorlichter voor de zoveelste keer antwoorden probeerde te geven die er allang niet meer waren want er was - alweer - een onafhankelijk onderzoek over die Ierse Revolutie
   

Misschien zijn die gesloten kloosters met alsmaar biddenden zo gek nog niet, zodat Diarmuid Martin dit weekend dan verder ergens zeer terecht en dik verdiend pepernoten of zo kan gaan leren bakken om zondag uit kan gaan lopen delen in dat memorial park, of ergens heel ver weg. 

Ik hoop dat de zon schijnt, zondag. Dáár en ook hier in Amsterdam
Het is tijd een ijsje te gaan eten op het Begijnhof  want mijn vader had géén tuinpad, er stond bij ons achter een kolenhok, en de enige processies die er waren waren die van een of  andere muziekkorps, maar vooral die van de Gemeente-ratelaars. Andere machtsdemonstraties waren verboden in Amsterdam. 
En als die kerk daar behoefte aan had dat deden ze dat maar in hun eigen tuin. 
En als je dat met z'n allen wilden doen dan zette je je hoed maar op en trok je dochters hun jas maar aan die pas op dat Begijnhof weer uit mochten 
Gelukkig wel, want dat was een knap warme klus: wil je over een bruidsjurk met vleugels op de rug een jas aantrekken had je een grote jas nodig, dus een winterjas en die demonstraties waren in mei, dat kon niet anders, eerder waren er geen madeliefjes voor in je strooi-mandje. 

Al dat jas uittrekken droeg bij aan de feest vreugde eenmaal op dat Begijnhof   en de omzet van het Jamin karretje waar ze kennelijk goed wisten wanneer iedereen weer thuis kwam.  IJsjes horen dan ook nog steeds bij dat triomfale weten Maria weer gered te hebben, zoals Blauw Wit de banaan en de citroen horen bij gewonnen turn-wedstrijden, omdat iedereen wist dat de ene demonstratie wél en de andere niet mocht en daarna de voetbal begon: Maria bovenaan als kampioen. 

Het was goed gisteren Plantagemeester Jos'demonstratie te vinden na zo'n ingewikkelde dag met resultaten van Justitie-onderzoek een vader een moeder en een zus. 
En mannen die met hun DNA afstand een grens trokken: tot hier en niet verder

Zoals er andere mannen zijn geweest en een ukkeltje dat net boven de tafel uitkwam: "dag moeder van Q en Q, ga je voorlezen? 
En  mannen die aan het bidden waren geweest. 
Naast elkaar. 
Toen de een  weer op kon kijken was de ander verdwenen. 
Niets meer, alleen de  horror.
De horror van het Niets- Meer. 
Een neergestort vliegtuig
Maar er werd  samengewerkt, DNA gevonden, gezocht en opgestuurd 
Waarmee het Niets-Meer geidentificeerd kon worden en familie hun overleden zoon terug kon krijgen. 

Een van de twee mannen die zich over Ukkeltje - en haar moeder - ontfermden en moest zwijgen werd in die tijd grootvader
maar ik weet nog steeds niet of zijn gezicht ook zo heeft gestraald als toen hij kwam vertellen dat er dat DNA onderzoek uitgevoerd zou worden en het mogelijk zou kunnen worden de horror van Niets-Meer op te lossen en de zoon terug te geven. Dat antwoord zal ik nooit weten. 

Maar de goden zij gedankt en geprezen  ik ken inmiddels de gezichten van De Grootmoeders die het Niets-Meer niet accepteerden, er vliegen nog steeds vliegtuigen

Veel plezier in Rome, Andrew.
Geniet en laat van je genieten

Irish abuse survivor wants an action plan from the pope, not an apology

21-8-2018

Crux spoke with Collins in Dublin, ahead of the World Meeting of Families, where she will be on a panel on safeguarding children that should have been moderated by American Cardinal Sean O’Malley of Boston, but last week he pulled out to address allegations of abuse in his own diocesan seminary.


“I do feel that as a country that has been devastated over the last 20 years by revelations about clerical sexual abuse, it’s extremely important that when he comes here, of all places, he doesn’t ignore the issue,” Collins told Crux on Sunday.
The pope’s motive for coming to Ireland is the World Meeting of Families, and Collins argues that nowhere does this crisis hit as close to home as in families.
It would be appropriate that while he’s here talking to families from all parts of the world, he addressed the issue,” she said, adding that she doesn’t want “a lot more apologies,” but to know what Francis “is going to do and how soon he’s going to do it.”

...
...
You’re going to be on a panel on Friday on safeguarding children that was supposed to be moderated by Cardinal Sean O’Malley of Boston, head of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, who announced last week he won’t be coming. Did he let you know in advance he was pulling out?
Gregoriana Towards Healing and Renewal
Yes. All the panel members were informed as soon as he knew he wasn’t coming, and then the statement came out.
Have you been told who will be his replacement? 
There will be no replacement. It will be a purely lay panel, and Baroness Sheila Hollins will be moderating. That’s OK, because she was one of the speakers, along with Barbara Thorpe, Gaby Di-Liacco and myself.

Statement of Cardinal Seán P. O’Malley, OFM Cap

August 20, 2018 


"In June of 2015 Rev. Boniface Ramsey sent a letter that was received at my office at the Archdiocese of Boston’s Pastoral Center. Rev. Robert Kickham, my Priest Secretary, received the letter on my behalf, as he does much of the correspondence that comes to my office at the Pastoral Center. 

Fr. Ramsey’s letter came to me in my role as President of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors; specifically the letter presented matters concerning Archbishop McCarrick’s behavior with seminarians.

Fr. Kickham’s response to Fr. Ramsey noted that individual cases such as he proposed for review fell outside the mandate of the Commission. Consequently, he did not bring the letter to my attention. 

In retrospect it is now clear to Fr. Kickham and to me that I should have seen that letter precisely because it made assertions about the behavior of an Archbishop in the Church. 

I take responsibility for the procedures followed in my office and I also am prepared to modify those procedures in light of this experience.  


My first knowledge of Fr. Ramsey’s letter occurred when media reports of the letter were published last month.

 I apologize to Fr. Ramsey for not having responded to him in an appropriate way and appreciate the effort that he undertook in seeking to bring his concerns about Archbishop McCarrick’s behavior to my attention.

 I also apologize to anyone whose concerns were reflected in Fr. Ramsey’s letter.
Allegations regarding Archbishop McCarrick’s sexual crimes were unknown to me until the recent media reports.

I understand not everyone will accept this answer given the way the Church has eroded the trust of our people. My hope is that we can repair the trust and faith of all Catholics and the wider community by virtue of our actions and accountability in how we respond to this crisis.

What makes all this so difficult to understand is that it has been my experience that when a priest is being vetted to be named a bishop, any doubt or question concerning his faithfulness to his promise of celibacy would result in removing his name from consideration to be named Bishop. The Bishops Conference is anxious to understand how Theodore McCarrick could have been named Bishop, Archbishop and Cardinal. We must be certain that this never happens again.

That is why the Bishops Conference are requesting an investigation by the Holy See with the participation of lay people.

Let me close with the words of Pope Francis who yesterday wrote: “Let us beg forgiveness for our own sins and the sins of others. An awareness of sins helps us to acknowledge the errors, the crimes and the wounds caused in the past and allows us, in the present, to be more open and committed along a journey of renewed conversion.

CRIMEN SOLICITATIONES

"Crimen solicitationis is indicative of a worldwide policy of absolute secrecy and control of all cases of sexual abuse by the clergy. 


But what you really have here is an explicit written policy to cover up cases of child sexual abuse by the clergy to punish those who would call attention to these crimes by the churchmen. 



You've got a written policy that says that the Vatican will control these situations and you also have I think clear written evidence of the fact that all they are concerned about is containing and controlling the problem.



Nowhere in any of these documents does it say anything about helping the victims.



The only thing it does is say that they can impose fear on the victims and punish the victims for discussing or disclosing what happened to them.



It's all controlled by the Vatican and at the top of the Vatican is the Pope so Joseph Ratzinger was in the middle of this for most of the years that Crimens was enforced he created the successor to Crimen and now he is the Pope this all says that the policy and systematic approach has not changed.



Cardinal Ratzinger, now as Pope, could tomorrow get up and say: 'Here's the policy: full disclosure to the civil authorities, absolute isolation and dismissal of any accused and proven and convicted clerics, complete openness and transparency, complete openness of all financial situations, stop all barriers to the legal process and completely co-operate with the civil authorities everywhere.'



citaat  Thomas Doyle



Can. 489 §1. In the diocesan curia there is also to be a secret archive, or at least in the common archive there is to be a safe or cabinet, completely closed and locked, which cannot be removed; in it documents to be kept secret are to be protected most securely.
§2. Each year documents of criminal cases in matters of morals, in which the accused parties have died or ten years have elapsed from the condemnatory sentence, are to be destroyed. A brief summary of what occurred along with the text of the definitive sentence is to be retained. 

Can. 490 §1. Only the bishop is to have the key to the secret archive.

‘We showed no care for the little ones; we abandoned them’

20 - 8 - 2018 

Irish Times
Sex Crimes and the Vatican 

"...
it is wearying to have to constantly respond to such communications, to have to point out that they avoid making a simple, frank & truthful acknowledgement of the Vatican led cover up. Just tell the damn truth.
...”


“If one member suffers, all suffer together with it” (1 Cor 12:26). These words of Saint Paul forcefully echo in my heart as I acknowledge once more the suffering endured by many minors due to sexual abuse, the abuse of power and the abuse of conscience perpetrated by a significant number of clerics and consecrated persons. Crimes that inflict deep wounds of pain and powerlessness, primarily among the victims, but also in their family members and in the larger community of believers and nonbelievers alike.

CHILD USA Responds to Release of Grand Jury Report on Clergy Sex Abuse in Six Pennsylvania Dioceses

PRESS ADVISORY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 14, 2018
Contact: Prof. Marci A. Hamilton, CEO, CHILD USA, 215-353-8984, marcih@sas.upenn.edu
Alix Boren, Esq., Executive Director, CHILD USA, 215-539-1906, aboren@childusa.org

Philadelphia, PA.  The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has released the Fortieth Statewide Investigating Grand Jury Report on clergy sex abuse in six Roman Catholic dioceses(“the Report”), as redacted.   Unfortunately, the Report is marred by redactions of the names of some of those alleged to have sexually abused children.  Despite the redactions, the Report makes Pennsylvania the undisputed leader in the investigation of the facts of clergy sex abuse in the Catholic Church in the United States. 

“Attorney General Josh Shapiro has released a monumental report on the clergy sex abuse that has destroyed Pennsylvania children’s lives for decades,” says Prof. Marci Hamilton, CEO and Academic Director of CHILD USA.  “Its four recommendations are necessary to the protection of Pennsylvania’s children: eliminate the criminal statute of limitations, revive expired civil statutes of limitations, amend the state’s mandated reporting law so that repeated failures to report result in stiffer penalties, and treat confidentiality agreements that impede disclosure of abuse to the police as obstruction of justice.  
CHILD USA stands behind each and every one of these proposals as the minimum needed to move forward the project of child sex abuse prevention.”

The Report actually understates how far behind the rest of the country Pennsylvania’s statute of limitations (“SOLs”) are.  It is one of the few states that has not yet eliminated at least felonies from its criminal SOLs.  CHILD USA recently issued a study of statute of limitations reform since 2002, which also ranks all 50 states and the District of Columbia on the child sex abuse statutes of limitations.  [Report available here]. The conclusions regarding Pennsylvania are as follows:
“Pennsylvania has yet to join the large majority of states to eliminate at least felonies from its criminal SOLs. The extension to age 50 for the criminal SOL is the only change made since 2002. The civil SOL at age 30 is increasingly short in comparison with the developments in the rest of the country. On a scale of 1-10, overall it ranks as a 5 (where 4 is the lowest combined score).

Criminal. The criminal SOL was extended in 2002 from age 23 to 30 (age of majority, 18, plus 12 years).137 Five years later, following the 2005 Philadelphia District Attorneys Grand Jury Report on sex abuse in the Philadelphia Archdiocese, it was extended to age 50.138

Civil. Before 2002, the civil SOL in Pennsylvania was age 20.139 Since 2002, Pennsylvania’s civil SOL has been age 30.140 There have been many efforts in the state to extend or eliminate it and to pass a window, but to date they have not been successful. 
This is so despite the fact that Pennsylvania has generated the most grand jury reports on child sex abuse in the country.141 There have been no changes in the civil SOL since 2002.”
41 states have eliminated at least some felonies from their child sex abuse statutes of limitations. [SOL Snapshot]

In a joint Amicus Brief filed last week, CHILD USA, and clergy sex abuse archive, BishopAccountability.org, filed an amicus brief urging the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to reject the arguments to suppress the identities of alleged perpetrators and to release the Report in its entirety as soon as possible.  “While it is our view that redactions in such a report have no place, we are pleased that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court kept redactions to a minimum,” stated Prof. Hamilton.

The brief explains the need for grand jury reports in a state with short SOLs for child sex abuse:

“There are two proven pathways to public disclosure of child sex abuse and institutional cover-up:
 (1) criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits and (2) grand jury investigations.  

Because the vast majority of victims do not come forward in childhood, the former rests on the need for generous statutes of limitation (“SOLs”).  Short SOLs short-circuit judicial disclosure of the truth.  In a state, like the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
where there are short SOLs, the only path to justice for these victims and the only means of public disclosure is through the release of investigating grand jury reports.  


We urge this Court to continue the successful movement of truth by
releasing the report of the Fortieth Statewide Investigating Grand Jury in its entirety as soon as possible.”
