We need a ruthlessly honest debate over the use of slavery in the Religious run Institutions in Ireland, not just in the context of last few centuries, but more recently in Irish history. Slavery was widely practiced and accepted in all the Religious run Institutions in Ireland. Forced Slavery was in use in all The Magdalene Laundries, Industrial Schools, and Orphanages of Ireland. The babies and children of these slaves were often stolen and sold into bondage into other countries far from their homes. Irish slaves and bondage became the economic engine of the Catholic Church in Ireland. Slavery and Trafficking of children were so profitable, for the Catholic Church in Ireland, that it allowed the Church to thrive on its ill gotten gains. With cash crops of Slaves, andTrafficking of stolen babies and children, the Catholic Church in Ireland became the economic engine of the burgeoning Irish State.The Slavery and Trafficking business was a tax free business running into hundreds of millions of dollars. Slavery was so profitable at the time that it allowed the Church to expand both its land holdings and its wealth growth, ex financially.
The Irish slave economy had been very good to the Catholic Church’s prosperity, enslaving women and children became a commercial necessity. Slaves represented the church’s most significant investment and the bulk of their great wealth. The Magdalene Laundries, Industrial Schools, and Orphanages of Ireland, required slave labour to operate their systems. The Magdalene Laundries of Ireland were driven largely by indentured servitude. Most of its human chattel were poor, unmarried mothers taken from both their homes and communities. In exchange for their work, in The Magdalene Laundries, the women and girls received food and shelter, a rudimentary education and sometimes a trade. Slavery was widely acceptable in all Irish Religious Institutions that had become a morally, legally and socially acceptable institution within Ireland. As more and more unmarried women were used as slaves in The Magdalene Laundries, Industrial Schools, and Orphanages of Ireland, a new industry was born;- The illegal Trafficking of babies and children, these babies and children were inspected and treated like prized animals to be bought and sold to the highest bidder. Adoptive American or English Parents proved an increasingly lucrative enterprise for the enterprising Catholic Church in Ireland. These able-bodied Babies and Children fetched a Premium price in North America. Some adoptees were willing to pay a higher premium price, for what they perceived to be special features, like a red-headed boy or girl, with green eyes or a blond-headed boy or girl with blue eyes. An average price ranged between $2,200-$3,500, plus a monthly service fee of $65 or more. Both the slave labour of women and trafficking of babies and children became so entrenched within the Catholic Church in Ireland that nothing at the time would dislodge it, not even the belief that all men were created equal. Both slavery of women and trafficking of babies and children were the Church’s most profitable business. Steadily, a near-feudal society emerged in Ireland, at the top was the aristocratic landowning/property elite, known as the Clergy who wielded much of the economic and political power in Ireland. Their Magdalene Laundries, Industrial Schools, and Orphanages of Ireland spanned across the country, controlling the lives of tens of thousands of women slaves and their children. A distorted culture of gentility and high-minded codes of righteous honour emerged within both Irish society and the Irish Church. Slavery and Trafficking had become essential to the continued growth of the powerful Irish Catholic Church’s economy. We need a “brutally honest” reckoning on the Irish Catholic Church’s legacy of forced slavery, forced adoptions, the manner of death in their Institutions, their disposals and the trafficking of both babies and children. Hundreds of thousands of Irish people were enslaved in these unforgivable Religious run Institutions in Ireland. Though it is impossible to give accurate figures, because the Irish Religious Orders that ran the Gulags of slavery, deliberately destroyed or altered their books, documents and identities of many of the women slaves and their trafficked babies and children. All the Religious run Institutions in Ireland like the Magdalene Laundries, Industrial Schools, and Orphanages depended on slave labour. They couldn’t operate them without the legion of enslaved women and children. The trafficking of both babies and children greatly enriched the Catholic Church in Ireland and that is a fact. Slavery was passed of as the domestic trade, flourished, and is itself widespread and still used in all the Religious run Institutions of Ireland, not just Magdalene Laundries, Industrial Schools, and Orphanages, but all their Convents, Schools, Colleges, Universities, Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Parochial Houses and Palaces. Peculiar institution of slavery remained absolutely vital to the Catholic Church in Ireland and is still used to this very day. The cruelties of the Nuns in particular as slave owners was to make their women slaves completely dependent on them through a system of restrictive codes and institutionalisation. Many elderly enslaved women still to this day live in Irish Convents, they were prohibited from learning to read and write, and their behaviour and movement were restricted by their captives, the Righteous Religious Orders. The enslaved women to this very day remain committed to the institutionalisation of their shattered lives, encouraged by the Nuns. The Catholic Church in Ireland has a history of long-term institutionalisation of women and children. I speak from experience, sadly my mother, Nora, died a brutal life and death as a slave, at the hand of her brutal tormentors, The Good Shepherd Nuns. I’m the son of a Slave. I never met her, but I felt she was always with me, I was raised as a slave for the first 18 years of my life, in a few of the savagely violent Religious run Gulags of Ireland, as have a few thousand more Survivors who can testify to Irish Slavery. Both the Catholic Church in Ireland and the Irish Government need to acknowledge this vile trade of slavery and child trafficking that operated freely in all Religious run Institutions in Ireland. Their criminal part in it, and pay immediately Reparations for their joint part in the Slavery of defenceless women and their vulnerable children. This debate is long overdue, world events demand justice now for all Survivors of the Religious run Institutions in Ireland. Owen Felix O’Neill

The problem isn’t the barrel of bad apples, the roots, the trees themselves are diseased. I must revisit Bessborough Mother and Baby Home, in Cork City, in the county of Cork, Ireland. The Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary who owned and ran Bessborough do not know where the babies and children are buried. The burial cesspools of well over 1,000 children who died in the care of Bessborough Mother and Baby Home is unknown, despite very extensive inquiries and searches.I have no doubt that Bessborough Mother and Baby Home has hundreds if not thousands of babies secretly dumped into their cesspools and septic tanks on the grounds of the ex Mother and Baby Home, in Cork City. According to the strictly confidential documents I have seen, I now know that most of the 1,000 babies missing, and whose cesspool cannot be found, according to the Nuns and it really is very simple. First of all, sadly many babies died in Bessborough, like all the other Religious run Institutions in Ireland. In fact according to the official documents, in Bessborough over a 20 year period, from 1934 - 1954, of relatively reliable death and birth records that I have seen, there were 478 infant deaths registered. When compared against the underestimated number of live births, this equates to a higher death rate in the region of 25%. In other words, one quarter of all babies born in Bessborough in the middle of the 20th. Century died in their first 12 months of life. Put it another way, the Infant Mortality Rate for Ireland (IMR) as a whole was 3.5 per 1,000 life births. In 1950 by comparison this was approximately 50 per 1,000 live births. The IMR is a staggering and sobering statistic which I suggest was used as a cover-up to account for the illegal trafficking of stolen babies out of Bessborough Mother and Baby Home. Anecdotal accounts confirm that hundreds of mothers who gave birth in Bessborough Mother and Baby Home, were told that their babies had died but yet the mothers were never allowed to see them or bury them. So plain and simple, The Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Nuns, stole the new born babies from their mothers at birth, told the mothers that their babies died, moved the mothers to another Mother and Baby Home or Magdalene Laundry in another county of Ireland. When in fact the evil Nuns trafficked and exported the new born babies into North America and elsewhere for profit, and the other crimes of the immoral Nuns was that the Nuns altered and falsified their handwritten documents, with the direct help of corrupt Irish Government Officials. I have seen these official documents, not only did the inept Nuns falsify the official documents, they then told their co-conspirators, the Irish Government that the stolen babies had died at birth, enabling the deceitful Nuns to collect more monies from the Irish Government to bury the so call dead babies, when in fact the trafficked babies were not dead but stolen by the disingenuous Nuns. It would appear that the morally corrupt Nuns collected monies at both ends. Something else according to the original documents from, Bessborough Mother and Baby Home, was that the Death Register only lists deaths of babies and children up until January 1953, while Birth Registrations are listed up till August 1955, therefore it would appear that a total of 5.5 years of death registrations is not accounted for by the Nuns. The inference therefore is that the IMR of 25% may indeed be far higher. The findings are as follows—From entries in Bessborough’s Death and Registration of Birth Books- Dated;- December 1930-April 1936 April 1936- January 1942 January 1942- January 1947 January 1947- June 1951 June 1951-August 1955 1. According to the Registration of Birth Books- in Bessborough Mother and Baby Home 2,270 babies were born. 2. According to the Registration of Death Books- in Bessborough Mother and Baby Home. Between February 1934 and January 1953, the deaths of babies were recorded as 482. Now this would correspondingly indicate an IMR of 21 % . However staggering these figures are, they do not reflect a complete picture of IMR as the Death Records only begin in 1934, whereas the Birth Register begins in December 1930, thereby missing 3 complete years. So using the IMR in Bessborough Mother and Baby Home appears at least 212 deaths per 1,000 babies born-that is a fifth of all babies died before the end of their first year. This is the absolute minimum because over 5 years is missing from the Death Records …So 212 by 5 years equals 1,060 missing or dead. This is true and from the official records what we know of. It has implications far beyond our small universe, it is nothing but shocking. Put it another way, this is the equivalent to the IMR in Ireland in the 18th. Century. It is five times the IMR in the local community in the 1950s, which was 5% and 65 times the current IMR. The current IMR in Ireland is 3.8 per 1,000 live births. Causes of baby death by the Nuns at Bessborough’s Mother and Baby Home are also a lie, because we now know that 1,060 babies didn’t die, but illegally sold into America. From the hand-written records, the causes of baby death according to the Nuns were;- -Gastroenteritis, also known as infectious diarrhoea and gastro, is inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. -Congenital syphilis is a chronic infectious disease caused by a spirochete (treponema pallidum) acquired by the foetus in the uterus before birth. -Pneumonia is an infection in one or both lungs. Bacteria, viruses, and fungi cause it. -Bronchitis is an infection of the main airways of the lungs (bronchi), which causes them to become inflamed. There are no medical records from Bessborough’s Mother and Baby Home to substantiate the veracity of these findings, in fact one child’s record cites “Prematurity” as the cause of her death, that’s impossible because the so called child was recorded as been 3 years of age at her last birthday. -Prematurity is a term for the broad category of neonates born at less than 37 weeks' gestation And more, I have seen Letters from Irish Bishops who wrote to the Nuns - requesting that babies be made available to sell-as they, the Bishops needed money. We know from other official records that the Nuns stole the babies to satisfy the Irish Bishops need for monies. There are also documents that some of the children died in transit and secretly buried, also that some of the babies stolen and sold were children from the age of 3 years old to 10 years of age. More shocking is that a few official documents say that Irish babies and children were illegally trafficked by the Nuns, themselves with the support of the Irish Bishops on a HP basis- Hire Lease was an agreement whereby a person lease a child for a period of time by paying instalments, and can own the child at the end of the agreement. This is extraordinary to see on office documents, as is the use of the words-Trafficking, Forced Adoption, Hire Purchase, and Commodities. In other words, the family in American or elsewhere that wanted an Irish Baby paid the Nuns $1,500 or $2,000 up front in the 1950s, remember at that time this was a huge sum of money, before the new parents took possession of the child, and they the new parents, would agree on a Hire Purchase form or contract to pay additionally $65 or more on monthly instalments, till the child reached the age of 18. A document I have seen also says that the Nuns spoke and wrote about the stolen babies as “Commodities” Another document also says that the mothers in the Mother and Baby Homes never gave their consent in spite of the fact that the Irish Catholic Church claims otherwise, the Nuns at the Mother and Baby Homes couldn’t produce a single document to support that the women gave their consent for their babies to be stolen. The trafficking of Irish Babies was a huge profitable business for the Irish Catholic Church, worth at the time at over 100 million Irish Pounds. Again another official document goes on to say, that outside private Doctors, Matrons, Welfare Officers and Irish Government Officials, all conspired and received illegal cash payment for their criminal parts in this vast criminal conspiracy, the Trafficking of stolen Irish Babies sold around the world. The criminal Nuns further criminal acts, it is reported during the period in question that, once a mother and child had been discharged from Bessborough’s Mother and Baby Home, two dates were routinely recorded. The first date of discharge listed is the date when the woman was geographically discharged from Bessborough, while the second date appears to function for administrative purposes, denoting when the woman was discharged from the institution’s books. These dates are separated in some instances by years. In addition, mothers and babies were often kept long after their babies were born, and after they were otherwise medically fit for discharge. It appears from the official documents that monies were paid both by the natural mothers for the care of their babies, and by their adoptive parents. The latter were requested to pay sums of money for the time, in the region of £50-£60, and this was payable by monthly premium. More than 120,000 babies and children were stolen, sold and treated as Commodities from their mothers in all the Mother and Baby Homes in Ireland, since the foundation of the State. Of these, 40,000 were adopted after the introduction of legal adoption in 1952, and a further number were illegally registered as if born to their adoptive parents (known as "de facto" adoptions). Most unmarried pregnant girls were consigned to religious-run, State-funded Mother and Baby Homes in Ireland. The official documents say that the babies and children were stolen and the mothers told that their babies died at birth. What please could be more horrendous for any mother, to be told her baby died! To learn later on in her life that the baby was not dead, but was stolen, sold to another, and then to spend the rest of her life looking for that child and that is one of the worst crimes to commit again another, worse than even death. Owen Felix O’Neill. Ireland’s Holocaust
How ironic that the Roman Catholic Church bans Atheists, Homosexuals, has a ban on Female Priests and all things female including banning divorce, contraceptives, abortion but yet protects and accepts Pedophiles as long as they are male and more importantly that they are ordained Priests within the Church. This Roman Catholic Church is morally corrupt and is an organisation dominated by corrupt conservative Christian Pedophiles. For centuries the Roman Catholic Church knew about and tried to cover-up an epidemic, a holocaust of sexual rape, torture and the death of millions of children within their organisation, even going so far as keeping a secret record. The Roman Catholic Church knew that its Clerics systematically raped millions of children in every country they operated in. They even kept records that were never turned over to authorities for prosecution. The Roman Catholic Church actively protected their pedophiles, they even promoted them to even higher positions within the Church. This was true conservative Catholic values. Catholic Priests meanwhile demanded that each child, or family member recognise their “obligation to God” while they, the clerics protected and enabled active pedophiles from within their organisation, to feed and prey on the rape of millions of innocent children, under the cloak of religion. Why use the word Holocaust, you see I couldn’t find another word to describe the horrors of what truly took place in the Religious run Institutions in Ireland. Like the Nazis who gassed, raped, tortured, brutalised - horrific drug experiments on and then murdered their captives, the Catholic Church in Ireland did the exact same. Except I haven’t heard of any child or woman gassed as of yet.. The Nazis killed millions in their concentration camps, the Catholic Church in Ireland did the same, in their concentration camps, except it was hundreds of thousands of women and children. They both disposed of the murdered corpses the same way, into mass pits and septic tanks. The system of brutality was the same, the Nazis learnt from the Catholic Church, the Catholic Church in Ireland learnt from the Nazi. They really were one and the same. The true virtues of the caricature Priests known as the Catholic pedophiles have been obvious, the real corrupt virtues as practiced in all their Religious run Institutions In Ireland. We had a dark culture of denial, sadly we still do. The Irish Cult known as the Catholic Church in Ireland admit their own complicity in the cover-up of sexual rape, murder of tens of thousands of women and children, this moral wreckage of the Church is still powerful in its dying days. The time has come when we must choose between light and darkness. There was and they're still evil among us, The Cult has democratised cruelty. We Survivors have very little left after a childhood of Clerical rapes. Every child ravished and raped by a pedophile cleric, the child’s soul was murdered, the child’s childhood robbed forever. Ireland was a haven for pedophile Priests nurtured by the Irish Catholic Church, The Cult acted as heaven’s choir of rapists, while vulnerable children were raped, tortured and murdered. The Irish Clerics had, across many decades, violently violated tens of thousands of innocent women and children, this is Ireland’s Holocaust. Please read “The Ryan Report” https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/3c76d0-the-report-of-the-commission-to-inquire-into-child-abuse-the-ryan-re/ The Irish Commission’s report published in May 2009, states the total number of vulnerable children who were admitted to Industrial Schools between 1936 and 1970 was approximately 170,000. Now add their Mothers, another 170,000. The Ryan Report found that children held in Catholic Orphanages and Reformatory Schools were treated no better than slaves—in all cases, Sex Slaves. Rape and molestation of Children were “endemic.” This was a real Holocaust, one fourth of the Irish Population at the time were detained in these Religious run Institutions in Ireland. Like the Religious Orphanages and Industrial Schools, Mother and Baby Homes and the notorious “Magdalene Laundries,” where girls and women were condemned to lives of coercive servitude, daily rapes, brutalities and torture, eventually death came by. The “Magdalene Laundries,” for-women scandal climaxed in 2017, when a Irish Government report revealed that from 1925 to 1961, at the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home, in Tuam, County Galway, babies who died—nearly 800 of them—were routinely disposed of in mass graves or sewage pits. Not only Priests, and other male Orders had behaved despicably, so had the Holy Nuns. Even the head man, Pope Francis himself came by to visit Ireland in 2018, His timing could not have been worse. Ireland’s so called Catholic Country was no longer a Catholic country. Two referendums in Ireland would changed that notion of a Catholic Country. Gay Marriage and Abortion, both referendums, Irish People overwhelming voted yes to repealing the arcane religious laws. Now is the time that we as a nation must deal with our unique Holocaust and we must move aggressively to preempt the disinformation of the still powerful Cult. The Irish Catholic Church authorities had successfully silenced many victims, through fear and secret agreements. The Cult has deflected law enforcement, the Irish Police, while shielding their Clerical pedophiles, who still operate freely in Ireland. Many children now men, including myself, told of gangs of sexual predators stalking children like prey, Pedophile Priests who gave many children they raped the gift of a gold cross to wear, so that other Pedophile Priests could instantly recognise the chosen one, anywhere the child went. The Pedophile Priests who enjoys the sport of pursuing and raping children, like hunters who pursue game animals and birds. The predator Priests does it for the fun, the chase, the rape, the power, and because he can, he is immune. The chosen child is his food, his game, his sport, his pleasure. The naive child trusted these holy men of God, and would proudly wear the golden cross with innocent pride, as a-badge-of-honour. This gullible child would be told he was chosen by God, easy prey in the hands of any sophisticated sexual predator Priest, who would then go on to brutally rape the child, knowing that he the Pedophile Priest had complete immunity. The vulnerable child could not resist his own rape, even their own murder. The child’s life would be ruined forever, the invisible scar of the golden cross would sear like a red hot poker into the child’s mind still the day that child dies. The Pedophile Priests, the sexual predators, would be promoted, extravagantly lauded by their many fellow sexual predators. Sexual predators continue to hunt, secretly, to enable them to enjoy their sport of ruthlessly exploiting vulnerable children, raping and even killing their game, the chosen child, all for fun. In reality, but factually and especially throughout the Christian world- North America, South America, anywhere in Europe, Australasia, anywhere in Africa -Pedophile Priests are major predators of children. “This is the murder of a soul,” I wrote about earlier in this article and all my other articles that can be viewed on my website www.tuambabies.org There will never be true accountability and transparency as long as this sick organisation, this Cult is allowed to function with our tax payers money, and as long as they continue to run our schools and hospitals. I accuse the Bishops of Ireland of protecting an organisation of clerical pedophiles that committed a Holocaust, with an avalanche of organised rape, torture and murder of tens of thousands of vulnerable Irish women and children in their care in the many Religious run Institutions they operated for profit in Ireland. Here is what a “shame and sorrow.” Pope Francis did, he called for a four-day meeting of his senior bishops, to be held in Rome under the rubric “The Protection of Minors in the Catholic Church.” This was like putting convicted Pedophiles in charge of an Orphanage of children, sorry we in Ireland did just that for the last 70 years. Something else, One of the astonishments of Pope Francis’s Irish pilgrimage was his claim, made to International Reporters during his return trip to Rome, that until then he had known nothing of the Magdalene Laundries or their scandals: Pope Francis- “I had never heard of these Mothers—they call it the laundromat of women, where an unwed woman is pregnant and goes into these hospitals.” Never heard of these mothers? I suppose he never heard of the tens of millions of children raped, tortured, and murdered world wide by his Catholic Clerics either. They're his pedophiles after all. What a grotesque Liar this Pope Francis is, but they all were really and holy to boot, a few were even made Saints. After all a Saint is a deviant person who is recognised as having an exceptional degree of bullshit or likeness or closeness to evil. We must remember that they the Clerics were and are profoundly immoral and wicked. Professional liars, hard working sexual predators, making a living from raping and lying to prepubescent children, immorality flows, like a cancer in their rancid blood. Owen Felix O’Neill Genocide- Ireland
The Religious run Institutions in Ireland or the Irish Gulags, for enslave women and children were a religious system to exploit, and then to exterminate the living, the unwed women and their children. Archbishop McQuaid and his Cult that ran Ireland, I accuse of waging a campaign of Genocide against unwed mothers and their children. On 2 August 2001 General Radislav Krstic, was the first man convicted by the ICTY (United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia) of genocide in Bosnia, had appealed against his conviction for his role in the killing of more than 7,000 Muslim men and boys in Srebrenica. But the International Court rejected his argument that the numbers were "too insignificant" to be genocide - “ Those who devise and implement Genocide seek to deprive humanity of the manifold sickness its nationalities, race, ethnicities and religious provide. This is a crime against all humankind, its harm being felt not only by the group targeted for destruction, but by all humanity” —Appeals Judgement https://www.irmct.org/specials/srebrenica20/ Genocide is the gravest crime against humanity it is possible to commit. It is the mass extermination of a whole group of people, an attempt to wipe them out of existence. But at the heart of this simple idea is a complicated tangle of legal definition. So what is genocide and when can that term be applied? Let us be clear- Genocide was committed in Ireland against a selected group of Irish Citizens, over 340,000, namely unwed Mothers and their Children. General Radislav Krstic, was convicted by the International Court of Genocide of 7,000 people and rightly so. It now stands to reason that the Catholic Church in Ireland should also stand trial before the International Court and be convicted for the Genocide of 340,000, namely unwed Mothers and their Children they killed in their Gulags in Ireland. The UN’s definition of Genocide;- The term was coined in 1943 by the Jewish-Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin who combined the Greek word "Genos" (race or tribe) with the Latin word "cide" (to kill). After witnessing the horrors of the Jewish Holocaust, in which every member of his family except his brother was killed, Dr Lemkin campaigned to have Genocide recognised as a crime under international law. His efforts gave way to the adoption of the UN Convention on Genocide in December 1948, which came into effect in January 1951. Article Two of the convention defines Genocide as "any of the following acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such":
So how it effects Ireland. Anybody reading Article Two of the convention above that defines genocide, --
Ireland had and does have a Culture of Denial- What is shocking now is that Ireland delayed accession to the Genocide Convention for over two decades, to ratify Human Rights treaties. The adoption of the UN Convention on Genocide was in December 1948, which came into effect in January 1951. But Ireland signed the UN Convention on genocide on the 22 June 1976, the reason it didn’t was because of the power of the Catholic Church in Ireland and its Bishops. The reason was simple all the Religious run Institutions in Ireland were in direct violation of the new UN Convention on Genocide in 1951 and also the Irish Government was totally controlled by The Cult, and its Clerical Fascists. Substituting fascist ultra-nationalism with Clerical Fascism- It was Archbishop McQuaid the leader of the Irish State and the Catholic Church in Ireland, who developed and enforced the Italian term ‘clerico-fascism’. McQuaid applied it to every member of his Church in Ireland’s clerical state. He even applied ‘clerico-fascism’ to all laymen and women who worked one way or the other for the Catholic Church in Ireland. Organisations like The Legion of Mary, the lay apostolic association of Irish Catholics, which was a fascist organisation. Every Irish Government Department was also infected with McQuaid’s Clerical Fascism. As were every school, college or university, and hospital in Ireland, The Cults power and evil were absolute. Here still in Ireland, Clericalism rules, as can be seen, take a defrocked Priest who still retains his “ontological” superiority, the humiliation consists in his being made to appear, and live, like everyone else, which in itself reveals how the clerical caste perceives the laity. A Vatican expert stated that a Priest’s raping a child was “not a Canonical Crime” nor is sexual misconduct with any child a crime. As it is not a canonical crime, there are no grounds for dismissal of any pedophile cleric form the Catholic Church and this is the real problem, Cannon Law, their own Laws transcends all states laws. We should ban Cannon Law in every country in the world, image a Law that allows Clerics to rape children and the pedophile rapist get away with the crime, well they do, they hide behind their corrupt law, Cannon Law. Canon law is a set of ordinances and regulations made by ecclesiastical authority, (the Roman Catholic Church) for the government of a Christian organisation or church and its members. This is something straight out of the middle ages. As is Institutional lying which is at heart of the crisis, Vatican Insiders, reporters reveal structural deception that hide clergy predators. For centuries, the Catholic Church proclaimed the sanctity of life in the womb while playing musical chairs with child rapists. High-price lawyers facilitated church officials' stiff-arm response to Survivors scarred by traumatic childhood memories. Pope Francis said with pointed outrage, “Those who spend their lives accusing, accusing, and accusing are … the friends, cousins, and relatives of the devil.” Francis proclaimed “an all-out battle” against Priestly Rape and said the Church must protect children “from ravenous wolves, his own Pedophile Priests. In the North Americas, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia—wherever there were Catholic Priests, there were innocent children being preyed upon and raped. We in Ireland viewed for many years Clerics as heroes for their work with the Irish People, but in fact most Irish Priests were rapacious rapists of vulnerable children and not heroes, but human devils. I know of a Priest recently who told me that it haunts him that he was blind to fellow Priest pedophiles, and he therefore feels complicit in a culture of willed ignorance and denial. Irish Catholics in general have perfected the art of looking the other way at the failings of their Priests in general and pedophilia Priests specially. We Irish didn’t want to know the violent corruptions of the priesthood and that Clerics were and are normal as in human but with all to human failings. Owen Felix O’Neill Pell Still a Pedophile -
The release of Cardinal George Pell from prison doesn’t mean he is innocent, Pell was free only on a legal technical point. Cardinal Pell has escaped the confines of Barwon Prison in Victoria, Australia after being incarcerated for 405 days. So let the Facts speak.- 1. In June 2002, Cardinal Pell was accused by a Melbourne man of having sexually raped a 12-year-old boy at a Catholic youth camp in 1961, when he, Pell was a young Seminarian. 2. On 20 February 2016, the Herald Sun newspaper reported that Cardinal Pell had been under investigation for the past year by detectives from the Victorian Police over sexual rape allegations involving between 10 boys that occurred between 1978 and 2001 when he was a priest in Ballarat and when he was archbishop of Melbourne. 3. On 29 June 2017, Victoria Police announced they were charging Pell with a series of sexual rape offences with several counts and several victims. 4. In January 2018, one of the accusers, Damian Dignan died after a long illness. Former chief Victorian magistrate Nicholas Papas said that Dignan's death would affect the structure of Pell's court case (the "pool trial"), and stated that in a case of historical child sexual rape it can "seriously affect the case" due to a lack of witnesses. 5. On 5 March 2018 at the committal hearing, which allowed for approximately 50 witnesses to give evidence, including former choirboys. In May 2018, Magistrate Belinda Wallington ruled there was enough evidence to commit Pell to stand trial. 6. On 1 May 2018, Pell was committed to stand trial on several historical sexual offence charges. Magistrate Belinda Wallington concluded that there was enough evidence for the case to proceed on about half of the charges. 7. On 2 May 2018, Pell appeared in the Courts of Victoria, Australia for a direction hearing before Judge Sue Pullen, and it was agreed that he would undergo two separate trials with two separate juries and that the charges would be heard separately for each trial. Trial 1- Cardinal Pell was to be tried in relation to allegations of sexual offences taking place at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Melbourne, in 1990. Cardinal Pell's first trial for the allegations of misconduct in St Patrick's Cathedral began in August 2018 under Judge Peter Kidd. However, it ended with the jury unable to reach the unanimous verdict. This necessitated a retrial with a replacement jury. A retrial was conducted, again under Judge Kidd. On 11 December 2018, Pell was convicted on five counts of child sexual rape of two boys in the 1990s. Justice Peter Kidd noted—- "The offending which the jury has found you have engaged in, was on any view, breathtakingly arrogant. These are all reasonable inferences available once it is assumed, as I must, that this offending actually occurred." Trial 2- In the first case, and in relation to further allegations taking place at a Ballarat swimming pool in the 1970s. “The Pool Trial": The prosecution withdraws its case. At the time of Pell's conviction in the "Cathedral Trial", a second trial was pending regarding unrelated allegations that Cardinal Pell sexually raped two boys while throwing them in the air in a Ballarat swimming pool in the late 1970s. Victoria's Director of Public Prosecutions dropped the charges after a judge disallowed the prosecution's submission of evidence from complainants on the grounds that each piece of evidence was not sufficient. One of the men, Damian Dignan who publicly accused Cardinal George Pell of sexual rape has died from from leukemia.Damian Dignan accused Cardinal Pell of sexually raping him in the pool as a child. Cardinal Pell's barrister, Robert Richter, QC, said during a sentencing submission to the Courts that Cardinal Pell's offending and rape of children was —- "No more than a plain vanilla sexual penetration case”. So even his own Barrister believed that Cardinal Pell raped and had raped children. On 11 December 2018 Pell was found guilty on five charges related to sexual rape of two 13-year old boys while Archbishop of Melbourne in the 1990s. On 13 March 2019 Pell was sentenced to six years in prison. What Cardinal Pell’s Lawyers argued in the appeal Court was, that there were three grounds of appeal. Two were procedural or technical: 1. The plea of not guilty was not made in the presence of the jury panel; 2. and the defence was not permitted to play a “visual representation” of part of its argument in its closing address One of the boys gave evidence against Cardinal Pell, while the second boy died in 2014 from heroin overdose - Remember an interesting point to note in this case is that every court in Australia that heard the victim give evidence, convicted Cardinal Pell. The first court that didn't view that evidence acquitted him. Also the Appeal Court Justices of Australia, all agreed the complainant's evidence was "Compelling". This will be no comfort to Cardinal Pell or the other cases waiting to be proceeded with, against him. It now appears that over 96% of Australians believe that Cardinal Pell raped the two boys in the Catholic Cathedral in Melbourne. After this ruling -“NO CHILD IS SAFE IN AUSTRALIA or anywhere in the world. Please note that the High Court decision doesn’t mean that Cardinal Pell is not guilty.The acquittal of Cardinal Pell are not findings of innocence, but decisions that the standard of proof was not met by the evidence as a whole. Read the full judgement summary from George Pell's successful High Court of Australia appeal- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-07/george-pell-high-court-of-australia-full-judgment-summary/12128468 The corrupt Catholic Patriarchy scores an own goal again. Cardinal George Pell is now hiding out at a Catholic Retreat, a Nuns Sanctuary, another prison, at least the Nuns are safe, no boys are allowed in or near the Catholic Sanctuary. By locking Pell into a Nunnery, the Vatican have effectively thrown Cardinal Pell into another prison. This is the worse possible outcome for the Vatican, it would have been better if Cardinal Pell lost his final court appeal. The damage will be enormous world-wide, already in the eyes of the public, certainly in Australia, Cardinal Pell is guilty and a Pedophile. Make no mistake this is an epic “PR Nightmare” for the Vatican, this ruling of releasing Cardinal Pell on a technical point will have enormous impact, negatively and way beyond Australia. The rape of children by senior Catholic Bishops is now acceptable with Cardinal Pell’s release. His Campaign and his twisted supporters Campaign for his freedom has backfired, something the Vatican did not want to happen, they wanted him to die as a Martyr, a Cardinal Martyr who suffered persecution and death in prison for the Catholic Church. Now its lays in tatters, millions of dollars of church money wasted to free him, millions of dollars the church didn’t have, collected from the mislead faithful. Cardinal Pell claimed that he underwent severe and constant suffering while in Prison, is a lie, he also claimed that he was a Martyr for his faith and Church. But not anymore, his martyrdom status has been exposed as more lies by a master liar, a man who as a powerful Cardinal, as a priest, and as a student, a very sick man, who raped vulnerable children for a living. Millions of Apologises by the Pope and others high church officials will not work this time, the stain of child rape will always grace pedophile Cardinal Pell’s demeanour, that stain of child rape can never be removed. The Catholic Church lost big time, and more importantly in the eyes of the world, Cardinal Pell is still a convicted pedophile and the Roman Catholic Church will always cover and protect its fellow pedophiles at any and all cost. This time the costs is way to high. Owen Felix ONeill |
