Thanks for the ping. Where don't the tentacles reach, how many tentacles are there, and how the hell do we cut them all off? It's like we need a worldwide PG protest, and have a whole lot of people concentrated in Vatican Square, Times Square, and every other square of this fucked up chess board.

I've always been aware of the clerical pedophile problem and ran up against it personally (in a mild form, thank God) but what the SRA survivor related about what occurred at St. Charles Seminary, PA, is an entirely different level of evil which must be eradicated in the Church. Fr. Malachi Martin's book, Windswept House, I believe, chronicles in pseudonym form the satanic network in the US and Vatican. I read most of it some time ago and could not process that it was still a threat.

Yes, and I remember growing up in PA and hearing my great aunt talk about how they would move priests around. She said they'd be there for awhile, then be transferred. I nor anyone I know was abused in the church, but while my great aunt attended church every week, I never her mention anything directly about any abuse. My aunt was a very good woman, and not a Bible thumper by any means, so I'm wondering if good priests get transferred before they're able to catch on to what's going on in the darkness. Do the evil ones mention code words around new priests and if they don't catch on or respond to them in kind, they're set to go elsewhere? And of course, the ones who are found guilty of abuses get transferred, so it would be nice if there was a public record of who get sent where and when. Might be able to find patterns that couldn't be seen before.

Priests usually receive a 6-year assignment, at least in my diocese. Just looked it up: "Canon (church) law permits a conference of bishops to establish guidelines for the length of pastor appointments. In the United States, that term is six years, renewable for another six years. A pastor may be moved prior to that time, or may be kept on longer, depending on the bishop’s assessment of the pastoral needs within the parish and diocesan-wide."

If a priest gets moved around in less than 6-year increments, that could be a red flag of some kind.

Useful info, which I wasn't aware of. Thanks for looking that up!
