Abuse Documentary: The Shame of the Catholic Church | Retro Report | The New York Times
31 March 2014
Sexual abuse in the Catholic Church has been making headlines for years. Some priests have been punished, but what about the bishops who shielded them?
Read the story here.
Translated from NOS TV in the Netherlands:
‘Pedophile priest still works with kids’
Today, 03:54
The Dutch pedophile priest Cornelio still works with children. In Brazil he accompanies children in making toys, according to a broadcast of the EO [Dutch Protestant broadcasting corporation] television show Dit is de Dag Onderzoek. The program, which will be broadcast tonight, did research on sexual abuse by missionaries.
Cornelio (90 years old) worked from 1962 to 1988 as the leader of the Roman Catholic youth activities in Vught [Noord-Brabant province, the Netherlands]. He organized children’s camps and taught children crafts lessons.
Congregation
Three men have said to the hotline for reporting sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church [officially recognized by the Dutch Roman Catholic Church] that they used to be repeatedly abused by the priest. They also saw during camps how he abused other boys. The hotline has upheld all complaints and Father Cornelio is also said to have admitted this.
The congregation of the priest promised several years ago to take appropriate action against the man, but Cornelio says he never got any penalty.
According to the investigative journalists of the EO, there are still more pedophile priests not dealt with by their congregations. The congregation of Father Cornelio did not want to respond to the broadcast.
Dit is de Dag Onderzoek, NPO 2 TV, 21:15.
PEDOPHILE PRIEST SENT TO WORK AMONG KIDS A pedophile priest was sent to work for an aid organization helping vulnerable families in an African country, even though his Catholic order knew he had been convicted of abusing children years earlier in Europe, a CNN investigation has found. [CNN]
Such an important topic. The Catholic church has so much power, they’ll continue to cover up the sexual abuse for as possible. Although I was raised Roman Catholic, (and I didn’t have any bad encounters with priests) I lost so much faith after the abuses became public in the 80’s-90’s, the Church did nothing to solve the problem except for transferring the problem Priests to other church..and on and on.

Hi, thanks for your comment! In this case, the transfer of the abusive priest seems to have been not just to another diocese, but to another continent.
