George said he never discussed the nude Polaroids, or the twisted, secret gifts he and the other kids had been given decades ago by the men who preyed on them. These weren’t the kinds of things you could share without feeling humiliated, especially if you grew up tough, like he did on the South Side of Pittsburgh.

But you can’t outrun your nightmares forever. So on Dec. 17 — a week before Roman Catholics around the world celebrated Christmas — George met with a Pennsylvania grand jury and told it about the Rev. George Zirwas, a friendly young priest who once took him to a rectory in Munhall, a borough about 25 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh, and introduced him to some friends: The Revs. Francis Pucci, Richard Zula, and Francis Luddy.

During a conversation about religious statues, the priests told George to get onto a bed and remove his shirt, and strike a pose like Jesus on the cross. Then they instructed him to strip off his pants and underwear, according to a grand jury report released Tuesday by Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro.

It gets really sick after this. I will leave it to others to read. It's just awful and Victims may be triggered. Catholics all over the world need to get out into the streets and demand the pope resign. Now.

Yep. I read on Church Militant today that already there are almost 2,000 signed up for the protest at the USCCB meeting in November.

All those that can go, should go. Everyone that has been waiting for justice should find a way to let the pope know he has to go. I have a feeling this will be an Epic Moment.
