Vatican claims UN child sex abuse report is ‘prejudiced’ against Catholic Church

The Vatican on Friday criticised a damning UN report on the Catholic Church’s handling of child sex abuse cases, saying it had “grave limits” and accusing UN committee members of following “prejudiced” views.

“The recommendations published by the committee appear to present… grave limits,” spokesman Federico Lombardi said in a statement on Vatican Radio’s website, defending the efforts made to stamp out abuse.

“More attention was devoted to well-known non-governmental organisations that are prejudiced against the Catholic Church and the Holy See than to the positions of the Holy See,” Lombardi said.

“It makes one think the report was already written or already well advanced before the hearing” of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child in Geneva in which delegates last month grilled a Vatican delegation.



unhappycamper comment: I understand the church's outrage, but the Catholic clergy has been abusing little boys and girls around the world for years. Ferchristsakes, the Vatican spirited (Cardinal) Bernie Law out of Boston the same way dubya did for the bin Laden family right after 911.

Shuffling pedophiles around is not a good policy.

1. Francis drives a car, so all is well.

Note the fact that so many who claim to care about kids on DU also support a wealthy institution and the very leadership that protects child abusers. They post threads to defend the institution and the leaders who do these things. Again and again, for years.
