Sadly all too common an event in Scotland. What will @NicolaSturgeon and the @scotgov do to reassure Catholics and the protection of their places or worship?

@Seven_Graces @Sachinettiyil You're saying one led to the other though

[🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Saul 🇻🇦 @CaledoniaCath]

@Seven_Graces @Sachinettiyil Also, the Anglican church specifically has suffered a widespread abuse scandal just like the Roman one. They have no celibacy requirement, and many abusers were married

[🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Saul 🇻🇦 @CaledoniaCath]

@Seven_Graces @Sachinettiyil If Richard Sipe got those numbers from his work as a clinical psychologist, then that isn't surprising, problematic priests were sent to him. How he extrapolates that to the entire priesthood, I can't see. I'll read his original book on it to find out though

[🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Saul 🇻🇦 @CaledoniaCath]

@Seven_Graces @Sachinettiyil I've found that abuse has occurred in almost every denomination to varying degrees - some of which were just as prolific as the Roman crisis - where celibacy is non existent

Francis has also made use of a related corrupt network of mostly Italian curial officials. He may once have intended to get rid of them; but power matters more to him than principle.

Church unknown, but worth posting.

On April 29th, 1903, France’s republican government forcibly removed the Carthusian monks from the Grande Chartreuse, seizing their property and expelling them from the country.

[BBC Newsline @bbcnewsline]

Adeste fideles! Few Catholics now remember when Mass was said in Latin. But the observance of the old form of the service has been given a new lease of life with a traditional religious order buying a former Presbyterian church in North Belfast. @ImSaraNeill has the story.
