The Sex Crimes Of Roman Popes, Priests and Nuns
This Roman Catholic Beliefs study features recent headlines that expose the wicked rape and pedophilia sex crimes of priests.
For years now the Catholic Church has been rocked by child sex abuse allegations on an almost biblical scale.
Accusations against priests have been leveled across the world with the Vatican saying at least
3,400 credible cases were referred to it between 2004 and 2014.
If you're Catholic, you can click away; but many children are being sexually abused by Catholic priests; and if you do nothing about it, then you are complicit in their crimes.
According to Jack and Diane Ruhl of the National Catholic Reporter, who decided to research this particular topic, since 1950, the Vatican has spent $3,994,797,060.
That's nearly $4 billion to keep the issue hush hush. That number may even be a bit conservative considering the amount of "under the table" dealings have taken place which were uncovered in Spotlight investigations.
Most cases were never reported nor were they taken to court, leaving their reality in the dark.
The figure is based on a three-month investigation of data, which includes a review of over 7,800 articles from LexisNexis Academic and NCR databases and information from Bishop-Accountability.org. Reports from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops were also used.

Father James Porter, the evil priest who raped over 200 children, confessed his pedophilia to the Pope who decided it best to "forgive and forget", it has been revealed.

Although he admitted to raping all those children, prosecutors on the case believe the actual number was well over 200 victims.
