   Rightists are perverts, obsesse with children, sex and gender.   
      
   Why do they keep ignoring the fact that it is they who are molesting   
   children?   
      
   Death penalty now!   
      
      
      
   Organized Coverups of Sexual Child Abuse by Priests, Clergy and Christian

   The United Kingdom has seen many cases of paedophile priests, including   
   many cases where Bishops and other senior Christians have protected   
   paedophiles, moving them from post to post when accusations surface.

       Archbishop defends paedophile move (BBC News 2000)   
       Father Michael Hill was a known paedophile, who was jailed for a   
       20-year span of sexual child abuse. "Archbishop Cormac Murphy-O'Connor   
       ignored the advice of doctors and therapists that Father Michael Hill   
       would carry on assaulting children" and reinstated him in 1985. Father   
       Michael Hill then went on to indecently assault more altar boys before   
       being jailed in 1997. His other victims included retards and homeless   
       boys. When he was released, the Church again took him back under its   
       wing, and he lived rent-free in a £100,000 flat a few minutes from a   
       primary school. The Church argued that it wanted him to be in a   
       position where they could supervise him, but I rather think that the   
       Church is last organisation I'd trust to 'supervise' a paedophile,   
       and, that when people give to church they'd rather their money went to   
       good causes. Not many working people can even afford such a flat!   
      
       UK Church ignoring rules on child abuse (BBC News 1999)   
       An investigation a year earlier, in 1999, found similar results: "An   
       investigation for Radio 5 Live found one priest under investigation   
       who was still working. Another, recently suspended, was allowed to   
       work in a primary school while under suspicion of abusing children. He   
       had been accused of abuse twice before. Since 1996, six priests have   
       been convicted of child abuse. In each case, the church knew of   
       previous allegations". This was before the horrific explosion of   
       exposés that occurred in 2002, when the world truly learnt that   
       paedophilia and child abuse was rife within the Christian hierarchy.   
      
       London's Ealing Abbey and St Benedicts School: "The Charity Commission   
       has issued an unusually strongly-worded criticism of the monks of   
       Ealing Abbey in west London, when one of their number, who was known   
       to have abused children, was allowed to have contact with a teenager   
       at the abbey, who he then sexually assaulted. "Father" David Pearce, a   
       former head teacher at St Benedict's Junior School, was jailed in   
       October after he belatedly admitted 10 indecent assaults and one   
       sexual assault. Complaints of abuse against Pearce had already been   
       heard in a civil court and damages were awarded against him. He was   
       allowed to return to the Abbey, but was arrested in 2008 for sexually   
       assaulting a sixth-form pupil who was employed to wash up for the   
       monks. [...] The report said that the Diocese of Westminster was well   
       aware of the allegations against Pearce and had told the trustees to   
       keep him away from children or young people. The trustees failed to do   
       this, and the consequent assault took place"27.   
      
       As of 2011 November, two perpetrators of sex crimes against children   
       have been convicted, and another has jumped bail. In 2009 Oct, Father   
       David Pearce "was jailed for eight years over a string of sex attacks   
       on five young boys, four under 14, at St Benedict's over a period of   
       36 years. Earlier this month police revealed they were hunting a   
       Catholic cleric wanted over allegations of child abuse reported to   
       date back to when he taught at St Benedict's. Father Laurence Soper,   
       who was abbot of Ealing Abbey from 1991 to 2000, failed to return to a   
       police station for questioning. He is believed to have been living in   
       a monastery in Rome and was due to return to London to answer bail in   
       March, but he failed to turn up".28   
      
       Buckfast Abbey in Devon was under investigation for clerical child   
       abuse, and the Catholic Church had appointed Christopher Jarvis to   
       lead their inquiry. "The scale of abuse now being uncovered at   
       Buckfast Abbey is disturbing. Paul Crouch 'Father Benedict' had   
       already been jailed for ten years in 2007 for a string of offences   
       with boys stretching over 20 years. One victim had been 'so terrified   
       that he hid in his locker' and had 'complained to the school Matron in   
       1987', After an internal investigation, Crouch was allowed to carry on   
       teaching and the police were not alerted. Father William Manahan,   
       called 'Daddy Prior', was jailed, also in 2007, for 15 months for   
       abuse between 1971 and 1978". Unfortunately, the safeguarding officer   
       Chris Jarvis has now himself been jailed "for having 4,000 child abuse   
       images on his work laptop computer, including ten involving sadistic   
       violence, the most serious category"29 and including making and   
       distributing child porn28.   
      
       That's not quite the end due to another case unrelated to Buckfast   
       Abbey. A now-deceased monk Father Edward Stewart 'is alleged to have   
       repeatedly abused a young boy over three years. Even worse is that it   
       has become clear that Stewart was moved around parishes in Britain and   
       Scandinavia despite (and of course because of) 'frequent complaints   
       about his behaviour'.'   
      
       Buckfast Abbey brought in a replacement safeguarding co-ordinator,   
       Father James Courtney, who has happened to previously 'discovered a   
       trunk of photographs of adolescent boys engaged in sexual activities   
       belonging to Stewart but neither he nor the Abbot reported them to the   
       police, and the incriminating material was destroyed.' Such inactivity   
       in the face of such serious immoral and criminal behaviour is hardly a   
       good sign for a safety officer whose job it is to look after   
       children's welfare against sexual abuse, especially as that person is   
       replacing the previous safeguarding officer because he's been   
       convicted for the type of offense he was supposed to be stopping!29   
      
       Keith Porteous Wood of the National Secular Society again highlighted   
       his common-sense argument that no-one in the Church should be a child
