A senior aide to the Pope and a Vatican chorister have been removed from their posts over allegations of involvement in a homosexual prostitution ring.
The Vatican confirmed it had suspended Angelo Balducci, an usher known as a Gentleman to His Holiness, whose duties included greeting important visitors.
In the midst of stories about the departure of Pastor Andrew Stock and over half of Destiny's Brisbane congregation, the cult has been shaken to its core.
Finally, a significant number of the cult's congregation have seen the real light by confirming the media stories about eftpos machines in church, onerous tithes, $300 signet rings and men only meetings. Pastor Stock and some of Brisbane's Destiny flock finally revolted against these things and probably the newest amendment to the church's covenant, that of the need to give up small luxuries like digital television and coffee in order to increase their tithing.

The Vatican has not yet commented on its latest sex scandal in which a chorister was sacked after accidentally being discovered procuring men as sex mates for at least one member of Pope Benedict’s inner circle.
AWKA—Fifty students of Anambra State University, Uli have renounced their membership of different secret cults at a special ceremony organised by the management of the University.
Ten students renounced their membership of secret cults at the Uli main campus of the University, while 40 renounced their membership at the Igbariam campus.
The allegations were made on Friday night by television programme Zembla. Among the victims are people who sought council from both Catholic priests and Protestant ministers. The offenders include clergy holding a variety of functions and ranks.
For Pope Benedict, the scandal surrounding the abuse of children is not something that is going away anytime soon. In fact, it appears that it is slowly growing. While cases in the United States and Ireland have gotten the bulk of the attention, the scandal has hit many Catholic nations, including Italy.
Some traditionally Catholic nations have been slow to recognize the sex abuse problems within the Catholic Church. Germany becomes one of the latest nations to have a major scandal over sex abuse within the Catholic Church hit it.
Some 200 people have now registered sexual abuse at the hands of Catholic church officials with the church organisation set up to help victims, the Telegraaf reports on Monday.
Jan Waaijer, spokesman for the Hulp en Recht organisation said he was shocked by the flood of claims since the end of February, when newspapers reported claims of abuse at a boarding school in 's-Heerenberg in the 1960s and 1970s.
In 1989 a Christian Brother appeared in the Goulburn Local Court in southern New South Wales. He was convicted (and was given a suspended jail sentence) for sexually abusing a boy at St Patrick’s College, Goulburn. This was then a boys-only boarding school, conducted by the Christian Brothers.
The Christian Brothers managed to keep the court case out of the media at the time. Broken Rites learned about the court case four years later, in 2003.
In 1963-1970 Christian Brother William Stuart Houston worked at St Augustine's orphanage, Geelong, Victoria. In June 1997 he appeared in the Geelong Magistrates Court, charged with committing 14 sexual offences against a boy at St Augustine's in the 1960s. At the time of this court case, Houston was listed as living at a Christian Brothers residential address in Melbourne.
The police investigation had been conducted by the Geelong Criminal Investigation Unit.
STATE CHILD protection guidelines are far superior in Northern Ireland schools than in the Republic, where “several thousand teachers who are currently in post have never been vetted” the head of the National Board for Safeguarding Children (NBSC), the Catholic Church’s watchdog on child protection, said yesterday.
Meanwhile it has emerged that the pope’s pastoral letter to Irish Catholics, following the clerical child sex abuse scandals, may not now be available before Easter.
An Australian Catholic priest, Father Hugh Edward Murray, who is facing indecent-assault charges, has applied to have his alleged victims cross-examined during the preliminary stage of a court hearing — as well as in a subsequent trial. However, on 17 February 2010, a Sydney magistrate ruled that a cross-examination (that is, the detailed questioning of witnessses) would be allowed at only one stage — at a trial.
An Australian court has ordered a Catholic priest, Father Murray Alexander Moffat, to face trial over allegedly sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl.
Father Murray Moffat belongs to the Archdiocese of Brisbane, which includes the Brisbane metropolitan area, plus some surrounding regions. He has served in Brisbane parishes for 37 years. Before appearing in court, he was in charge of Mary Mackillop Parish in Birkdale, Brisbane. The archdiocese has said that Moffat is still a priest of the archdiocese and is merely on leave pending the outcome of the court proceedings.
Pope Benedict XVI's brother told an Italian newspaper over the weekend he was never aware of sexual abuse in the famous boys choir in Regensburg that he headed for nearly three decades.
"I never knew anything," Georg Ratzinger told Italian newspaper La Repubblica. "The incidents that are being talked about go back 50 or 60 years to the 1950s. It was another generation than when I was there."
A 54-year-old Australian Catholic priest, Father Robert Fuller, was jailed in Sydney on 24 February 2010 after he admitted seeking a 13-year-old girl, via the internet, for sexual purposes. The incidents occurred recently — in July and August 2009.
Father Fuller used a webcam to show himself masturbating during online chat sessions with somebody who he thought was a 13-year-old girl, a court was told.
In an effort to close the door on what he sees as frivolous class-action lawsuits, Chamberlain lawyer Steve Smith crafted a piece of legislation passed by the South Dakota Legislature that opponents say unfairly limits the ability of child sexual abuse victims to recover damages from the institutions that employed their abusers.
Marist Brother Ross Francis Murrin was jailed in 2008 and 2010 for child-sex crimes, committed during his teaching career in Australian Catholic schools. There is evidence that his Marist superiors were aware many years ago about his criminal behaviour but they negligently allowed him to continue teaching, thereby endangering more children until the police finally caught up with Murrin in 2007.
Writing in the Irish Independent, Sinead O’Connor blasts the Catholic church over a recent request that parishioners should help to foot the legal bills on child sex abuse claims.
Evidence of sexual abuse by clergy, according to the Murphy report, can be traced as far back as 320 AD and the first treatment centres for paedophile priests were created in 1940, named Servants of the Paraclete.
BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany called on Sunday for a zero tolerance approach to child abuse and sought more clarity from the Catholic Church on the issue after fresh charges emerged last week of priests beating and sexually abusing boys.
Germans were shocked by revelations last month of abuse at Jesuit schools, and the scandal grew when the Church on Friday revealed charges of priests beating and sexually abusing boys in at least three schools in Pope Benedict's native Bavaria.
Child molestation scandals at several German Catholic schools have prompted Catholic reformers to call on Pope Benedict XVI to account for his term as bishop in Bavaria between 1977 and 1982.
A spokesman for the "We are the Church" movement, Christian Weisner, said the pope should publicly state exactly what he knew about widespread allegations of abuse by clerics in the Bavarian city of Regensburg during the 1960's.
This is an excellent 5 minute compilation of Illuminati/Masonic symbolism leaked into pop culture. Thanks to Terry for sending this. I'd seen this video a couple times but never posted it.
The Illuminati are the top players on the International playground, basically belonging to the thirteen of the wealthiest families in the world, and they are the men who really rule the world from behind the scenes (yes, they are mostly men, with a few exceptions).
Not only in Australia, but around the world, the Catholic Church is rocked by news of sex abuse scandals. The vow of celibacy is often blamed, but it is more that.
As sexual scandals of various sorts have washed through the Catholic church around the world, the Vatican has typically tried to play a subordinate role – treating them as matters of grave concern, to be sure, but ultimately something for which local bishops must take the primary responsibility.
Two developments this week, however, bring those scandals home for the Holy See. One involves two lay Vatican employees fired after reportedly being caught up in a gay prostitution ring, the other turns on reports of abuse by priests connected to a German choir once directed by the pope’s brother.
VATICAN CITY--A German bishop offered new details about a sex-abuse scandal targeting a famous boys choir in southern Germany once headed by Pope Benedict XVI's brother, in remarks published Saturday.
Gerhard Ludwig Mueller, bishop of Regensburg where the Domspatzen (Cathedral Sparrows) choir is based, also confirmed previous reports that Benedict's 86-year-old brother did not head the choir at the time.
Continuing the pattern that has been the hallmark of the institutional Catholic Church's response to sexual abuse of children by priests in the United States, the Netherlands' Handelsblad.com reports that the Dutch Catholic Church for years ignored reports by children and families that sexual abuse of boys by priests was rife in Catholic schools.
VATICAN CITY -- The Vatican said Saturday it backed a German diocese's efforts to shed light on sexual abuse allegations connected to a renowned boy's choir once led by Pope Benedict XVI's brother.
The Regensburg Diocese, which oversees the school connected to the Regensburger Domspatzen choir, said Friday that a former singer came forward with allegations of sexual abuse in the early 1960s, and that it was hiring a lawyer to help it carry out a "systematic" clarification of abuse allegations.
New figures from New South Wales Police show that arrests for child sex abuse have almost tripled over the last five years.
The NSW Crime Command's Joint Investigation Response Squad made 451 arrests for sex crimes last year, while five years ago only 156 people were arrested for similar crimes.
The number of charges laid as a result of those arrests quadrupled in the same period to 1831 in 2009.
NEW YORK (JTA) -- New York Gov. David Paterson approved a plan to give $500,000 in state money to help identify and treat sex abuse victims in New York’s Orthodox Jewish community.
Paterson backed the expenditure from the state's Department of Children and Family Services to set up an organization called Shomrei Yeladim, Hebrew for “guards of the children,” The New York Jewish Week reported last Friday.
Collective veneration or worship (e.g., the cult of the saints — meaning collective veneration of the saints — in Roman Catholicism). In the West, the term has come to be used for groups that are perceived to have deviated from normative religions in belief and practice.
They typically have a charismatic leader and attract followers who are in some way disenfranchised from the mainstream of society. Cults as thus defined are often viewed as foreign or dangerous.
Leaving a cult-
Generally, the attitude exists that if anyone has concerns or uneasy feelings about spiritually abusive activities, they are accused of not being in submission to authority and could even suffer from extreme character assassination (both privately and publicly) in order to diminish the effect of any desire of clarification that could liberate themselves and/or others from a spiritually abusive person/situation.
Two Catholic bishops have sparked outrage by suggesting churchgoers should foot the bill rising out child abuse by clergymen.
The Bishop of Ferns, Denis Brennan, drew the ire of abuse victims by appealing for parishioners to pay 60,000 euro ($90,000) a year between them for 20 years towards compensation bills.
The Catholic Church should clean up its act following multiple child abuse scandals by punishing abusers and compensating victims, an influential cardinal says.
"That's enough. We have to seriously clean up the church," Cardinal Walter Kasper, a top adviser to Pope Benedict XVI, told Italian daily La Repubblica in an interview published on Saturday.
Here's a lovely little Catholic story.
I, as a non-believer, am wondering where was this great god that christians talk about when a child was being buggered by a dirty rotten Vatican priest.
According to the 'believers', god orchestrates everything on the planet and other planets which the god-fearing never even heard of. So he orchestrated the buggering of a child...WHY?
