It is easy to determine the agenda of political and religious leaders, it is easy to see where their agendas lay in their response to the global clergy abuse crisis.
The difference really comes from working with others who are genuinely motivated and genuinely directed.
The difference comes in many ways, it comes from things like this
The difference comes when we look at the church. There are those who look at the crimes, the criminals and child safety. There are also those across the theistic divide whose focus is not of freedom to decide but of ownership and who decides.
The decisions can be clearly made when you look at the pathways offered or available in opposing camps.
From those of us on this side of the theistic divide we simply see those who wish to repair what is broken beyond human despair. We see a range of battles in progress over all things that help us digress from the facts that this god as represented has simply failed and those who attempt to persist in the face of global failure and inability to respond are simply bound to tread the same cycle yet again. There is and can never be genuine peace within the religion which has deceived and distorted society to such a degree simply to maintain the power and the control that their deceived view has brought to us.
That the issue of bishops orchestrating and colluding on such a process is condemning enough yet they continue to argue, to obfuscate and to avoid this issue. The experiment for humanity of the current system of Christianity is simply a failure and has led to the wholesale sexual abuse of our children. What deranged people are we that we should permit the arguements and consideration of the notion of ownership on the belief in a god should stand in the way of a single global policy of child safety and protection.
We are currently met with a cabal of men who are unable to see through their own mist that this is the most socially destructive event society could find itself facing. This must surely not have missed the bishops, presidents and prime ministers, the United Nations our judiciary and the very ideals of democracy are all able to be cast aside for a group of deceived men attempting to cling to their failed god and the power it has previously brought them. No amount of repair from within can ever hope to peacefully bring such a polluted and corrupted system back into power and control of our political and policing systems, our health and community services instead their privilege of being a favored source of health, education, job and community services should be stripped from their hands whilst this problem remains unresolved and until each and every victim has been afforded proper justice under the rule of the laws of their country.
Not even God, Catholicism or Christianity must be permitted to stand in the way of genuine social reform. The very reform we have heard endlessly from our political leaders, from our religious leaders and from our community leaders for so long yet here we are on the doorstep of a very real possibility for humanity to take a step forward into the future and these same men are incapable of moving forward. There is no place in the future for a damaged, unable to self repair religion, its god, its creeds, its leaders and its followers. In light of the facts of the global clergy abuse crisis we would simply be considered fools and charlatans if we continued with the current fraudulent operations.
The proper thing for the Catholic church to do is to simply step down and return all that it has been provided with to the people it came from after it has made full restitution to those harmed.
Battles for leadership of a broken religion are simply battles for leadership, battles for control of a broken religion are simply battles for control.
If the political world does not shift in line with the requirements of the rights of children and the law instead of the rights of a broken religion to operate as it sees fit within our country and draws a clear line for the people to judge by as it is no longer acceptable to expect avoidance of this issue or to expect digression at every step of the way nor should we have to expect more divergent indignation and mock outrage. Instead we should be seeing leadership, we should be seeing men and women in parliament standing up and speaking out about these crimes. Responsible politicians, responsible health and education leaders, responsible policing cannot permit the broken religious beliefs of a segment of our society to determine the course of the future of humanity.
Benedict understands that the church must stand down for the sake of humanity and the entire human race. This global clergy abuse crisis we face is no longer a religious issue it has now become the most critical social issue humanity has encountered. Currently our politicians, policing and our community leaders are failing us as if they were defending or protecting us we would hear from them. Their silence today on this issue quickly and efficiently states their position and their unspoken agendas.
Ask you politicians, your political leaders, your police commissioners and you health and education leaders do they stand on the side of the children and their future or do they stand on the side of the broken and socially destructive Catholic church? Ask them where are their policies to deal with this systemic crime.
Let their words and their actions determine if they represent the children and the future or if they represent a broken and sexually dysfunctional catholic church.
