Wypadków pedofilii jest tak dużo że nie sposób przetłumaczyć wszystkich artykułów z angielskiego na polski. Podam więc tylko streszczenie. M.in. archidiecezja Bostonu zapłaciła łącznie 10 milionów dolarów odszkodowań ofiarom czyli molestowanym seksualnie przez księży dzieciom. Zwykle prosi się ofiary o zachowanie tajemnicy żeby uniknąć skandalu. Wielu kapłanów jest skarżonych za akty pedofilii nawet sprzed kilku lat, gdy ofiara jest już dorosła i ze łzami w oczach wyjawia swoje przeżycia reporterom. Wydaje się że w USA ściganie pedofilii kapłanów katolickich ma większe powodzenie niż w Polsce gdzie te rzeczy są lepiej ukrywane przez władze kościelne. Kapłani podejrzewani o pedofilię zwykle byli przenoszeni do innej parafii gdzie kontynuowali molestowanie seksualne dzieci. Niektórzy kapłani prowadzili zapisy odnośnie molestowanych seksualnie przez siebie dzieci. Arcybiskup pisze do księdza który był już mu znany jako pedofil "Miałeś udane kapłaństwo w swoim życiu, a niestety zostało ono pogorszone przez chorobę...". Na pytania prasy dlaczego nie przekazywał policji informacji o łamiących prawo kapłanach mówi: "nie jestem policjantem, jestem pasterzem". Molestowany seksualnie chłopiec mówi swojej matce (gdy już sprawa wyszła) "nie mogłem ci nic mówić bo kapłan powiedział że to jest konfesjonał". Sprawca czynu kapłan John J. Geoghan, aktualnie skarżony w 84 sprawach sądowych, przypuszczalnie molestował seksualnie dziesiątki dzieci w ciągu trzydziestu lat. Kolejny kapłan, Kelvin Iguabita, został oskarżony o molestowanie seksualne 15 letniej dziewczyny. Został on aresztowany i ogłoszono kaucję w wysokości 15 tysięcy dolarów.
Poniżej fragmenty artykułów z których wziąłem powyższe streszczenie, oraz adresy stron internetowych większych gazet z opublikowanymi przez nich artykułami o księżach pedofilach.
Wniosek: W USA księży traktuje się jak zwykłych ludzi. Są
oni
sądzeni i skazywani za molestowanie seksualne dzieci. W Polsce księży
uważa
się za nadludzi; pośredników Wyższych Istot. Gdy w Polsce ksiądz
obmacuje
dziecko i rodzice wnoszą sprawę do sądu, prokuratura umarza sprawę
uzasadniając
to tym, że "ksiądz dotykał dziecko w celu przekazania mu energii
leczniczej".
Fakt taki został opublikowany w polskiej prasie.

Jury ponders alleged priest molestation case
http://www.cnn.com/2002/LAW/01/17/priest.trial/index.html
Jurors will continue deliberations Friday in the case of a defrocked Catholic priest accused of molesting a boy.
The case went to the jury Thursday after a psychiatrist testified the defendant, John Geoghan, admitted to having sexual fantasies about children.
"We discussed his ability to control his sexual fantasies and his sexual feelings about women and boys," said Dr. Edward Messner, Boston-based psychiatrist who said he treated Geoghan between December 1994 and July 1996.
Messner testified shortly before the prosecution and defense presented their closing arguments.
Geoghan has been charged with indecent assault and battery on a child stemming from a 1991 encounter in which a boy -- 10 at the time, but now a college junior -- said the former priest grabbed his buttocks while the two were in a pool at the Waltham Boys and Girls Club.
If convicted of the felony charge, Geoghan could be sentenced to as
many as 10 years in prison.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (Reuters) - Defrocked Roman Catholic priest John
Geoghan,

convicted
on Friday of fondling a 10-year-old boy as the two swam together
more than a decade ago.
A Massachusetts jury found Geoghan, 66, who was kicked out of the
priesthood
in 1998, guilty of indecent assault and battery on a person younger
than
14. Geoghan was taken into custody by court officers.

Papers in Pedophile Case Show Church Effort to Avert Scandal
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/01/25/national/25PRIE.html
BOSTON, Jan. 24 - The Roman Catholic archdiocese here seemed more preoccupied with avoiding a scandal involving a pedophile priest than making sure the priest had no further contact with children, documents released today suggest.
The documents - depositions, letters and memorandums from 84 civil
lawsuits
against the priest and the archdiocese - reveal in detail that the
church
knew of the priest's pedophilia, but moved him from one parish to
another
for 30 years.

Clergy would be required to report past evidence
By Walter V. Robinson and Sacha Pfeiffer, Globe Staff, 1/23/2002
he Massachusetts Senate yesterday approved amendments to legislation
so that clergy, including the Archdiocese of Boston, would be required
to report past evidence of sexual abuse of children and not just future
abuse Cases of child rape can be prosecuted for up to 15 years - from
the
time the victim reaches age 16, or for 15 years after the accusations
are

http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/024/nation/Memos_offer_split_view_of_priest+.shtml
It's as if there were two John Geoghans: One, an emotionally stable
priest victimized by ''a rather unfortunate traumatic experience,'' yet
fully capable of fulfilling his priestly duties. The other, a dangerous
child molester with an ''impulsive nature'' whose continued presence
among
parishioners would yield ''an explosion.''
These contrasting portraits of Geoghan emerge from medical records
that
were filed with 84 civil lawsuits against the former priest and top
officials
in the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, including Cardinal Bernard F.
Law.

B'KLYN BISHOP SHUTTLED 'SEX' PRIEST
http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/38158.htm
January 25, 2002 -- While serving as a top Catholic Church official
in Boston, Brooklyn Bishop Thomas Daily transferred a priest who
allegedly
admitted molesting seven boys to another parish - where the priest is
suspected
of continuing to abuse sexually kids, it was reported yesterday.
"I am not a policeman - I am a shepherd," the Boston Globe quoted Daily
telling lawyers for some of the boys, explaining why he had not done
more
than transfer the priest in 1980.

Church tipped off to Reardon abuses
http://www2.bostonherald.com/news/local_regional/geog01262002.htm
The Archdiocese of Boston was warned that serial pedophile Christopher J.Reardon was molesting boys at a Middleton rectory six months before the church youth worker was arrested, but apparently did nothing to investigate, sources said.
http://www2.bostonherald.com/news/local_regional/rear01282002.htm
If the Archdiocese of Boston had investigated complaints against Christopher J. Reardon when they allegedly first surfaced, it's likely ``90 percent'' of the sexual abuse he inflicted on 29 young boys would have been prevented, Reardon's parents and lawyer said yesterday.

Priest says church sought to cover up suit against him
A Catholic priest who recently worked at a Brockton nursing home said yesterday that in the early 1990s he was accused of sexually molesting an Allston boy and received treatment at two institutions for sexually abusive clergy before being reassigned to a Wayland parish, in 1998.
In an interview with the Globe, the Rev. Jay M. Mullin said the
archdiocese
settled the claim for $60,000 about five years ago to keep the
accusation
out of court - and out of public view - and required Mullin to pay
$10,000
of the award.
