The Catholic church was aware of child abuse at orphanages and other institutions throughout the Netherlands as early as 1954, according to documents found by researchers in church archives.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also, from the article:<\/p>\n

\n

The documents shed new light on the church’s claim not to have known about the widespread abuse of children living in church institutions.<\/p>\n

Lawyer Martin de Witte, who is representing a number of victims, said the letters showed the church could no longer say it was not aware of the abuse and claim that the cases are now too old.[…]<\/p>\n

‘They knew exactly what was going on but decided to to nothing about it,’ De Witte told the Volkskrant.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Dutch case seems to follow a global pattern: abuse of children goes on for decades; Church claims they didn’t know about it; researchers\/ journalists prove this claim wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If any other organization followed a similar pattern across the world, I am sure there would be judicial instruments to try them in court. It seems that, in this case, there has been a tacit agreement to try this simply as “sexual abuse”, whereas as much as I am horrified to use this word (because of its usual connotations), this looks like a conspiracy<\/em> of massive proportions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
