Our Lady of the Roses sides with the victims

Our Lady of the Roses sides with the victims...

"Your country and many countries throughout the world have given themselves over to immorality and unnatural vices of homosexuality and the perversion within childhood. Woe unto the man or woman who has taken part in the scandalizing of the young! Better that that being had died in his mother's womb than to scandalize one of the young!... Red Hats, bishops, you go about earth oppressing the children of God, but you neither chastise nor condemn the evil ones in your House, the Church." - Our Lady, May 3, 1978

The following is a June 14, 2002 interview of Barbara Blaine, founder of SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests), done by Lehrer News Hour. In a statement made on June 13^th, before the bishops’ vote on the charter, she stated, “"We hold out some level of skepticism because so far, what we've been hearing from our religious leaders is not any different than what we heard from them a decade ago."

Q – Barbara Blaine, what is your view of the charter that was voted on today?

Barbara Blaine – “Well, I find it so disappointing. I just am so saddened and feel as though, in many ways, that we as victims have been betrayed. We are just amazed and so sad that the Church leaders would actually say that they are going to leave child molesters within the ranks of the priesthood. We just can’t understand why they would do that….

“They [the molesters] are still being allowed to be priests. When the priest who molested me and the other victims, they were put up on a pedestal. They were looked up to with reverence and respect, and they were close to God. And they violated that position. And that had a devastating impact on me and my family, and so many other victims. So what the Church leaders are doing now is allowing those priests to still hold onto that position of priesthood, the most highly revered position in the Roman Catholic Church, and they are going to say: “We are going to keep the child molesters within our ranks.” We just don’t understand why.

“… The problem is, is that there is no mechanism to make sure that that happens. And why would they still leave these men in their position of priesthood? It is just illogical to us. And if they are still in their position, OK, maybe they are going to remove some, but why wouldn’t they remove them all? It is just ludicrous to us.

Q – [Regarding pastoral review boards]

Barbara Blaine – “You know, in many ways, what we see is that the diocesan review boards just don’t work. I don’t know if the Church authorities think they work, but the victims who contact us tell us on a daily basis, “Well I contacted the Church, and this was supposed to happen, but it didn’t.” And we hear story after story of just dismaying disappointment, that the Church leaders really don’t follow those policies that they have. And the review boards, from our perspective, have been a complete failure. And that’s even why we asked that the Church authorities stop investigating crime, they are not in the business of criminal investigation; that’s what law enforcement and prosecutors do. Church authorities shouldn’t do that any more so than the Church authorities would be inviting the prosecutors to come to give the Sunday homily at Mass.

"Yes, My children, as time goes on in these closing days, you will watch those of evil intent become brazen in their approach. They no longer know the meaning of shame or modesty. Like the brazen serpent they come forward and flaunt themselves before you. And why? Because your leaders have enacted rules, regulations, and laws that hold no water, have no discipline and no purpose. They are too busy compromising.
"It is the easy way to compromise, My children. It casts the responsibility onto another, so that you may not be bothered. But I say unto you, pastors and laymen, you must accept this responsibility to protect your Faith, to restore My House to its former glory, to chase out the rodents in mitres that are burrowing like rats into the foundation of My Church."
- Jesus, March 18, 1977
