Bishop John Magee singled out for misleading authorities about attacks on children and not reporting cases to police A devastating report into clerical child abuse in an Irish Catholic diocese has accused the Vatican of being “entirely unhelpful” in dealing with allegations of sexual exploitation. It also singled out an Irish bishop who was the close confidant of three popes for deliberately misleading authorities in the republic about the church’s internal inquiries into children’s claims that priests were abusing them. The investigation into the diocese of Cloyne, which includes Co Cork, said Bishop John Magee had little interest in the way child sex abuse cases were handled until 2008, when the scandal had become international news. Magee was an extremely powerful figure not only in the Irish church but also in Rome, where he had been a private secretary to three popes, including John Paul I and John Paul II. Magee was the first Vatican official on the scene when John Paul I was found dead in his quarters. The Commission of Investigation report also said Rome’s decision to brand a document on child sexual abuse as unofficial allowed individual bishops “the freedom to ignore” strict guidelines on protecting children. The authors of the report said the Vatican’s actions “can only be described as unsupportive in relation to the civil authorities” – the Garda Síochána and child protection agencies. The 431-page report, launched by the ministers for justice and children, examined allegations made against 19 priests in the diocese between 1996 and 2000. These claims of abuse were among the most up-to-date against clergy. The report follows other damning reports in other dioceses that found a culture of cover-up and denial in the church hierarchy. In stinging criticism of Magee, who resigned in March 2010, the report concluded: “It is a remarkable fact that Bishop Magee took little or no active interest in the management of clerical child sexual abuse cases until 2008, 12 years after the framework document was adopted. “It became clear during the course of this investigation that Bishop Magee had, to a certain extent, detached himself from the day to day management of child sexual abuse cases. Bishop Magee was the head of the diocese and cannot avoid his responsibility by blaming subordinates who he wholly failed to supervise.” The inquiry, led by judge Yvonne Murphy, said the fact that some child sexual abuse allegations were not reported to police was the diocese’s “greatest failure”. There were 15 cases between 1996 and 2005 which “very clearly” should have been reported. Yet police were not told about nine cases. “The most serious lapse was the failure to report the two cases in which the alleged victims were minors. “Given the diocese’s knowledge of clerical sexual abuse and its effects on complainants it was wrong of the diocese not to put in place a proper support system for complainant.” Andrew Madden, a victim of sexual abuse while an altar boy in the Dublin archdiocese, said the report proved that, “with occasional exceptions, Catholic bishops cannot be trusted with allegations of child sexual abuse.” The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre described the Cloyne report as a “terrible indictment” of the way the church handled the allegations. Ellen O’Malley Dunlop, of the centre, said: “Here is another report which makes for unbelievable reading in relation to how the Catholic church dealt with allegations of child sexual abuse … in the diocese of Cloyne. “There is no excuse of being on a ‘learning curve’ this time. The church’s own child protection guidelines were in place from 1996, yet the report tells us time and time again that the implementation of the policies and procedures was inadequate and inappropriate. It was not until 2008 that the diocese began to follow proper procedures. “The publication of this report will again reopen the wounds of the victims involved and other victims around the country who had similar experiences. It may also trigger people’s memories for the first time.” Catholicism Vatican Ireland Religion Henry McDonald guardian.co.uk

Japanese volunteers knows as the skilled veterans corps offer to replace younger workers in operation to stabilise nuclear plant So far, about 9,000 workers have been involved in the four-month operation to stabilise the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, where three of six reactors experienced meltdown in the aftermath of the 11 March tsunami. If Yasuteru Yamada gets his way, the Fukushima workforce of the future will include a band of fearless pensioners calling themselves the skilled veterans corps . This month the retired engineer for Sumitomo Metal Industries, one of the world’s top steel manufacturers, is expected to visit the plant with four colleagues to carry out preliminary inspections. They propose to help design a replacement for the destroyed reactor cooling system. The 72-year-old graduate of Tokyo University will survey the damage and, pending final approval from the government and Tepco, the plant operator, call on hundreds of registered volunteers, all over 60, with expertise in a range of disciplines. In April, he and two former colleagues reached out to 2,500 potential volunteers by phone and email. Before long their plea had been repeated on Twitter and via blogs, and for days Yamada’s phone did not stop ringing. As of last week, 430 people had volunteered, according to the group’s website. Their average age is in the late 60s. The oldest is 82. The government and Tepco have cautiously welcomed the plan with caution – they have yet to approve the hiring of hundreds of eager pensioners while conditions at the plant remain hazardous. Goshi Hosono, a special adviser to the prime minister, initially likened Yamada’s offer to a “suicide mission” and suggested his and his corps’s services would not be required. But Hosono has since made more enthusiastic noises. “People who are willing to sacrifice their daily lives to help the nation resolve these problems are invaluable,” he told reporters. “First we will have to check on their health status, as people at an advanced age working in that kind of environment could fall ill.” Yamada, who helped build power plants as a Sumitomo Metal employee, insists that the skilled veterans corps should be allowed to replace younger plant workers who, over time, are more susceptible to developing cancer. Unlike the young engineers currently exposing themselves to high levels of radiation at Fukushima Daiichi, Yamada, a cancer survivor, reckons he has, at best, about 15 years left to live. “Even if I were exposed to radiation, cancer could take 20 or 30 years or longer to develop,” he told the BBC. “That means us

July 13, 2011 No Comment
Click here to view this media Rachel Maddow took us through part of the list of those attending Rick Perry’s big prayer rally, The Response , which is coming up on August 6th in Houston Texas. And as she noted, Right Wing Watch has done a great job of documenting some of these extreme right-wing radical preachers who are attending the event, and you can read more about that in these posts and more at their site. Here’s a portion of some of their reporting on the rally and there are many more there at the site, but these are some of their most recent posts. Rachel showed a sampling of some of the videos they have available and you can watch the longer versions at Right Wing Watch as well if you’ve got the stomach for it. Rick Perry Partners With ‘Apostle’ Who Thinks The Statue Of Liberty Is A ‘Demonic Idol’ : As we’ve been reporting on Right Wing Watch , Texas Governor Rick Perry is working a number of radical preachers to plan his upcoming Christians-only prayer rally. Perry’s partners in the event include extremists who believe that tolerance for homosexuality caused the September 11th attacks , Oprah Winfrey is the harbinger of the Antichrist , the deadly Japanese earthquake was caused by the country’s Emperor having sex with a demon , the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell caused bird deaths in Arkansas and violence should be considered to overthrow President Obama , among many other extreme beliefs . One self-described ‘Apostle’ who has signed on as an official endorser to Perry’s The Response prayer rally is John Benefiel of the Heartland Apostolic Prayer Network, a group affiliated with the New Apostolic Reformation with ties to other The Response endorsers including Cindy Jacobs , C. Peter Wagner and Jay Swallow . In a sermon last August, Benefiel argued that America is under a curse from God because the country possesses monuments to pagan idols and that Americans needs to renounce those idols if not destroy them. Benefiel claims that the Statue of Liberty is in fact a “demonic idol” because it represents a “false goddess.” Perry Prayer Rally Endorser Says “Spiritual Pollution” Is Making You Sick : As we continue to research the leaders who have signed on as public endorsers of Gov. Rick Perry’s “The Response” prayer rally , we just keep finding good stuff . And we can now add Alice Smith to the list, based on this appearance with Benny Hinn where she promoted the need for ” spiritual housecleaning ” As Smith explained , cursed items – which can include everything from shirts to rings – have a “spiritual umbilical cord” that attaches to you and gives demonic spirits the ability to plague you with sickness and fill your home with “spiritual pollution”: Rick Perry Partner John Benefiel Claims Homosexuality Is An Illuminati Conspiracy : Earlier today we posted video of “Apostle” John Benefiel, an official endorser of Rick Perry’s The Response prayer rally , arguing that the Statue of Liberty is a “ demonic idol ” used for pagan worship. In the same sermon, Benefiel claims that homosexuality is a plot by the Illuminati to “control the population.” He says that the Illuminati intend to reduce the world population to just 500 million people and that, along with the recently passed health care reform law, the secretive group will use homosexuality as a “perverted way” to bring about “a death culture” and population control. Benefiel also insists that homosexuality is a “stronghold” of the “demon god” Baal. Hagee: President Obama Is A Dictator : In an interview on the Daystar show Celebration , John Hagee of the Cornerstone Church said that President Obama is a “dictator” for his actions in Libya. Hagee, a leader in the Religious Right who is involved in organizing Texas Governor Rick Perry’s The Response prayer rally , has previously claimed that Adolf Hitler was a “hunter” sent by God to hunt Jews . “You want to talk about how absolutely insane our government is right now, we are in Libya, the President is in violation of the War Powers Act, he can only stay there 90 days at his word, we’re beyond that,” Hagee said, “Congressmen are suing him trying to get him to stop. This is the actual work, if you will, of a dictator:”

July 13, 2011 No Comment
BALTIMORE — A published presidential historian was one of two men caught with millions of dollars in documents from the Maryland Historical Society, including some signed by President Abraham Lincoln, according to court documents. Baltimore police charged Barry Landau, 63, and Jason Savedoff, 24, both of New York City, on Saturday with theft of more than $100,000 and they were ordered held on Monday. The FBI is involved in the investigation under a federal statute that covers thefts from museums. An employee told police he had been watching Savedoff and Landau for several hours, believing their behavior to be suspicious. He called police after he saw Savedoff conceal a document in a portfolio and walk it out of the library, according to court documents. A search of a locker at the building that Savedoff was carrying a key to turned up 60 documents. That included papers signed by Lincoln worth $300,000, numerous presidential inaugural ball invitations and programs worth $500,000, a signed Statue of Liberty commemoration valued at $100,000 and a signed Washington monument commemoration valued at $100,000, court documents state. Court records do not list attorneys for the men. A message was left at a number listed for Landau and no listing could be found for Savedoff. Landau had signed out many of the documents police found in Savedoff’s bag in the locker. Staff told police that the dozens of other documents had about the same value. Photocopies of all the historical papers were made and the originals were returned to the historical society. An Associated Press story written in 2007 when Landau’s “The President’s Table: Two Hundred Years of Dining and Diplomacy” was published notes that he was working on a trilogy was to be followed by a history of inaugurations and a volume on presidential style. The story describes vintage black and white etchings of 19th-century inaugurations on the walls of his Manhattan high-rise apartment, a cabinet displaying presidential mugs, plates, goblets and a skeleton key that fit the front door of the White House during John Adams’ administration and a wall of inscribed photos of presidents. There are careful rules dictating the procedures for viewing documents in the library and people may only check one set of documents out of the stacks at once, according to society President Burt Kummerow. First-time visitors must complete a registration form and present current photo identification and researchers must sign in and out during each visit, according to the society’s website. What happened is a reminder of the value of the documents at the library, he said. “It is one of the older libraries in the United State and is wonderful record of the story of the early United States and right up to the present,” Kummerow said.

July 13, 2011 No Comment
Earlier this morning, Washington Times blogger Kerry Picket discovered an unusual listing on the popular movie rating website Rotten Tomatoes . The new Sarah Palin documentary, 'The Undefeated,' was categorized not only as a documentary, but also as science fiction and fantasy. Since Picket's blog was posted, the science fiction and fantasy tag has been removed, but it begs the question of why the film was categorized in the same listing as the fantasy tales of 'X-Men,' 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' and 'Transformers' in the first place. The removal of the improper tag came without explanation or apology from Rotten Tomatoes. In looking into the categorization of other political documentaries, from former Vice President Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth' to conservative director Ray Griggs's 'I Want Your Money,' the films were all categorized only under the labels of documentary and special interest, not any less flattering labels. Perhaps Rotten Tomatoes will pass it off as a simple mistake, but the choice of science fiction and fantasy, among all the other categories under which 'Undefeated' could have accidentally been placed, makes you think otherwise.
