SATANIC RITUAL ABUSE

In connection with the trial in Toledo of Fr. Gerald Robinson, Court TV's Crime Library has a story up at the website about ritual sexual abuse committed by priests. According to the story Father Robert Hoatson (not wearing clericals in the picture) is investigating it. Fr. Hoatson is quoted as saying:

It's a natural thing for priests to engage in that kind of abuse because they have been so stepped [sic] in ritual, incense, candles, and fire and water and altar cloths...It's all power...I think the priest ends up using the tools of his trade - the ritual - in order to intimidate the child. It puts greater fear in them.


The story goes on to say that the priest admits the evidence is scant, most of it coming from alleged victims.

But that was also the case when word of the priest pedophile scandal first emerged, he said. There was reluctance on the part of everyone, authorities, the church, even the families of the victims themselves, to believe that such things were occurring. It took time, he said, until the allegations reached critical mass and only then did the church and the authorities mount a campaign to root it out.

The same may be true of the allegations of ritual sexual abuse, he said, and it is possible, perhaps even likely, that the case in Toledo may turn out to be the first round fired in that new battle.


Malachi Martin's book that gives an account of a black mass would tend to lend credibility to his claims. Add to that Robert Anton Wilson's black mass in his most famous book, ILLUMINATUS!, conducted by "Father Pederasti". And there is William H. Kennedy's book LUCIFER'S LODGE.

If this is true...if priests have abused children and adolescents in black masses...our crisis will not go away until the truth comes out.

As one of our hymns tells us "What you hear in the dark, you must speak in the light."

Fr. Hoatson was the subject of a Matt Abbott column last December in which he accused Bishop McCarrick of having seminarians sleep next to him but not engaging in sexual activity with them. He is suing the New York and Newark Archdioceses.

-----------------

The Archdiocese strikes out at Fr. Hoatson with the usual weak argument, this time that he is not a good communicator and he shirked his duties.

-----------------

The Village voice ran a story about Fr. Hoatson last February that would make a good story line for a soap opera about abusive priests and official cover-ups; and about the way that blackmail, or the potential for it, has fueled the Catholic crisis.

-----------------

Until it all comes out, we cannot heal. There is an infection lurking within Roman Catholicism that will kill the faith here in America if something isn't done soon.

Perhaps what the RCC needs right now is a fund set up to take care of whistleblower priests, so that those who wish to help with this airing will be able to do so.

Maybe we should be putting our Catholic Charities contributions into such a fund instead of giving them to bishops' appeals since bishops are part of the problem...a Catholic Priest Whistleblower Support Initiative.
