IS THERE A CURE?
Prior to being arrested for the three murders, he had completed eight months of counseling by a psychologist
The Times notes that more and more health-care professionals are concluding that “some habitual child molesters are basically incurable and should be locked up for life.”
now this is deep--- the wt acknowledges that there may be no cure, yet they provide no support for the victim or even the person with the problem, instead a molester is told to increase his personal study, meeting attendance and particpation in the ministry and this is suppose to cure his problem, can you imagine how this will sound when a lawyer ask an elder what are your qualifications and what advice do you give to molesters- it will be the JOKE OF THE DAY
The newspaper interviewed Jeffrey Anderson, a lawyer who specializes in cases of sexual abuse. He estimates that since 1985, when priestly pedophilia came under increased public scrutiny, there have been over a thousand cases in which priests molested children. Anderson had some harsh words for the church's response to the ongoing crisis: It is a continuing saga of avoiding responsibility, he charges, decrying the church's focus on protecting the accused clerics. As a general rule, the institutional response of the church has been willfully inadequate both in tending to victims and dealing with risks
NOW THIS IF FUNNY does that name Jeffery ring a bell - the wt had no idea that the guy they quoted would one day have them in HIS CROSS HAIRSAccording to Richard Sipe, a former priest t NCR quotes one attorney who specializes in such cases as saying that there are pedophile-priest cases in each of the church's 188 dioceses in the United States . He says that out-of-court settlements have run as high as $300,000 per case. U.S. News & World Report says that such suits have already cost the church $400,000,000, a figure that could surge to $1 billion by the year 2000.
THE ABOVE AIN'T GOOD for the wt $$$$$ BLING BLING
