The U.S. Catholic Church spent $10.6 million on lobbyists to prevent victims of clerical sex abuse from suing for damages.
According to a new report, the money was doled out from 2011 through 2018 in eight northeastern states where bills to reform statute of limitations laws were either in the works or being considered.
“This report lays out what we have known all along — that the Catholic Church refuses to take responsibility for the decades of abuse that took place knowingly under its watch,” said attorney Stephen Weiss, who works for one of the law firms that commissioned the study.
“Statute of limitations reforms give survivors more time to obtain some measure of closure on the atrocities committed against them,” attorney Gerald Williams added. “The church has yet to implement meaningful reforms, and by working to prevent these laws from passing, the church is clearly demonstrating that it does not stand with survivors.”
In Pennsylvania, where currently victims of child sex abuse can come forward with criminal allegations until the age of 50 and can file civil claims until age 30, the church spent $5,322,979 to keep those limitations in place, according to the report, “Church Influencing State: How the Catholic Church Spent Millions Against Survivors of Clergy Abuse.”
The report was commissioned by Seeger Weiss LLP, Williams Cedar LLC, Abraham Watkins and the Simpson Tuegel Law Firm, which collectively represent 300 survivors of clergy sex abuse nationwide. The data in the report was obtained from public filings in the individual states.
Attorney General Josh Shapiro, whose blockbuster grand jury report last year identified 301 “predator priests” in six dioceses who were alleged to have abused more than 1,000 children, has been leading the charge to lift those statutes of limitations.
“The extensive lobbying by the Catholic Church in Pennsylvania against the reforms recommended by the Grand Jury proves what I have said all along: the Church cannot be trusted to police itself,” Shapiro said. “It’s reprehensible that the Church continues to spend significant sums of money fighting these reforms, instead of protecting and supporting the victims of clergy sexual abuse.”
The Pennsylvania Catholic Conference and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops did not return an NBC News request for comment.
In New York, the church spent $2,912,772 in what ultimately was a failed bid to prevent the passage of the Child Victims Act, which Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law on Feb. 14. It allows child sexual abuse victims to sue their abuser or institutions until age 55. Previously the cutoff was age 23.
Of that money, 80 percent went to the Catholic Conference Policy Group Inc., which was tasked with lobbying on “statute of limitations, legislative issues and liability issues,” the report found.
“I think it’s incredibly troubling that parishioners who on Sundays contributed to the church collections may have been inadvertently funding lobbying efforts against victims of sex abuse seeking legal redress,” New York State Sen. Brad Hoylman, who championed the Child Victims Act, said. “Three million dollars that went for lobbying could have done a lot of good elsewhere, including soup kitchens, after-school programs for children, support for seniors. In my district, a Catholic school that is closing might perhaps have stayed open if that money had been used for better causes.”
Shortly before the New York state Legislature took up the Child Victims Act, Cardinal Timothy Dolan called in an op-ed published in The New York Daily News for measures that would avoid “breaking” the Roman Catholic Church.
In an email to NBC News, Dennis Poust, a spokesman for the New York State Catholic Conference, said: “All of our lobbying activity is reported as required by law to the Joint Commission on Public Ethics and has always been publicly available.”
“As far as the Child Victims Act, while we did raise concerns about the one-year look back, ultimately when sponsors amended the bill at our request to provide an opportunity for recourse to survivors in public institutions, the Catholic Conference dropped its opposition this year,” he wrote.
When asked for comment, New York Diocese spokesman Joseph Zwilling referred NBC News to Poust.
In Connecticut, where advocates for victims of priest sex abuse are presently pushing for the elimination of statutes of limitations for major sex crimes, the church spent $875,261, according to the report.
The report also said the church spent $633,458 in New Jersey where Gov. Phil Murphy last month signed legislation that allows child victims to sue up until they turn 55 or “within seven years of their first realization that the abuse caused them harm,” according to The Associated Press.
During that time period, the church spent $537,551 in Massachusetts, $124,260 in Maine, and $61,961 in Rhode Island.
“That is completely inaccurate,” said James Driscoll, executive director of the Massachusetts Catholic Conference. “I have no idea where the writer of this report came up with this figure. They never checked with me for any input before they wrote this report.”
And in New Hampshire, where legislation to lift or amend the statute of limitations has yet to be introduced, the church has spent $134,345, according to the report.
Tom Bebbington, a spokesman for the Diocese of Manchester, said it “advocates before the state legislature on issues of importance for the good of all citizens including abortion, assisted suicide, education, preventing human trafficking, and repeal of the death penalty.”
“The services of lobbying professionals were used during the time period of this report for advocacy on all of these issues and more, but no lobbyist was engaged to advocate on behalf of the Diocese on statute of limitations legislation,” he insisted.
David Clohessy, the former director of the Survivor Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, said church funds should never be used to fight clerical abuse victims.
“It’s appalling that parishioners’ donations are used to keep child sex crimes — and those who committed and concealed them — covered up,” said Clohessy. “There’s no better indication of how bishops think and act than where they put their flocks’ funds. And there are few more egregious and reckless ways to spend churchgoers’ contributions than to put their kids at risk by fighting secular reforms that help expose predators.”
Asked if he believes the church was willing to spend that kind of money on lobbyists because it feared payouts for victims would cost 10 times more, Weiss said that appears to be the case.
“The church made the soulless decision to spend 10 million of its dollars to evade its responsibility to those harmed by clergy abuse, rather that use those funds toward the healing process,” he said. “Clearly these expenditures were aimed at protecting the church’s financial interests, not at doing the right thing.”
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Victims of sexual abuse by Catholic priests at a school for the deaf in Argentina staged a protest at the Vatican on Friday to bring attention to an upcoming trial of more alleged abusers.
Last November a court in the province of Mendoza convicted two priests and the former gardener at a Catholic Church-run school on 28 counts of sexual abuse and corruption of minors.
Trials for about 10 others who worked at the Antonio Provolo Institute for the deaf, including teachers and a nun, are expected to start in a few months. They are accused of abetting the abuse by the priests.
About 20 people, including several former students, held up signs reading “Zero Tolerance,” “Don’t Forget,” and “We Are Not Going Away” in front of the building housing the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine for the Faith, which handles abuse cases. The victims’ lawyers and other victims of abuse were among those who joined the protest.
“Church officials in Argentina are not cooperating with civil authorities and not cooperating with prosecutors concerning the rape and sexual abuse of dozens of deaf children in Argentina,” Peter Isely, a founder of the advocacy group Ending Clergy Abuse (ECA), told Reuters at the demonstration.
The case in Argentina and a similar one at a school for the deaf in Italy have prompted outrage because of the particular vulnerability of the children and their difficulty in communicating about the crimes.
ECA and several other groups of victims traveled to Rome to mark the first anniversary of a Church summit on sexual abuse at the Vatican.
They say Pope Francis and Vatican officials have not done enough to make bishops and other members of the Catholic Church hierarchy accountable for the cover-up of sexual abuse.
The two priests convicted in last November’s trial were given sentences of 42 and 45 years in prison respectively while the school employee was given 18 years. They are appealing the ruling.
The Catholic Church around the world is still struggling to come to grips with the worldwide crisis, most of which involves cases of abuse that happened decades ago.
It has devastated the Church’s credibility and dented its coffers. About two dozen dioceses in the United States alone have filed for bankruptcy because of mounting lawsuits.
A number of U.S. states have also changed statutes of limitations law enabling victims to file for damages for abuse that occurred decades ago.
And, the suit says, the Diocese actively thwarted efforts to stop the predator priest, instead giving him a new assignment, to St. Martha Church in East Providence.
A priest in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence trafficked children for sex, using the guise of international charitable work to prey on boys at orphanages in Haiti and rectories in Rhode Island, a lawsuit filed Thursday says.
The diocese and its defenders looked the other way and actively thwarted efforts to stop the predator priest, the suit says. In one instance, a parishioner who later became associated with the diocese’s legal counsel reported leaving a party at a rectory because he was made uncomfortable by the presence of boys, some dressed in diapers, according to the suit.
And even today, the diocese continues to blithely minimize the toll of child sexual abuse, the suit says, such as when a West Warwick parish priest said recently that “pedophilia doesn’t kill anyone.”
The allegations are laid out in a complaint filed Thursday in Superior Court, Providence, against the diocese, Bishop Thomas Tobin, retired Bishop Louis Gelineau, and St. Joseph Church in Providence.
Reached Thursday, Gelineau declined to comment, citing his advanced age — he turns 92 in May — and frail health. He would not be able to analyze the issues or recall facts enough to make a comment, he said.
The diocese did not respond immediately to a request for comment sent after 4 p.m. Thursday.
The plaintiff, Robert Houllahan, a 51-year-old Providence resident, says he was molested as a child by the Rev. Normand Demers — who received the “protection and affirmative assistance” of the diocese and its leaders, the suit said. Houllahan is represented by attorney Timothy J. Conlon, who has represented numerous other priest-abuse victims.
Houllahan himself does not say he was trafficked to the United States for sex, but said he saw children from Central America when he was brought upstairs to Demers’ private quarters in the rectory of St. Joseph in Providence. Houllahan was molested there by two men, Demers and an unidentified person, the suit says.
Demers, who died in 2018, was included last year in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence’s list of clergy who it deemed had been “credibly accused” of sexually abusing minors.
Demers was removed from ministry in 2002, more than a decade after the diocese became aware he’d been accused of misconduct with minors at an orphanage in Haiti. He continued to serve as a Rhode Island priest despite the allegation, until a letter accusing him of sexual abuse at Fatima Hospital surfaced in 2002, according to Journal archives.
The suit says Demers was involved with foreign missions that had been described as “orphanages” or “schools,” but that were in fact known to the diocese as a source of child sexual-abuse victims both within the country and outside the country.
He brought child victims into the country as “sponsored” students and housed them on property supplied by the diocese and its leaders, the suit says. He also shared a child victim with at least one other predator, the suit says.
Demers used parish property to house boys, keeping between three and six with him and “sending back” at least one of them who rebuffed his sexual advances, the suit says.
But when people tried to report Demers’ conduct to the diocese, all its leaders did was protect their own, the suit said.
In 1989, for instance, a woman went to Haiti to become the new director of an orphanage and school that Demers had helped establish. She soon became concerned, though, because a teenage boy was sleeping in Demers’ room. Once she started working with the boys, she learned he was a “threat” to them.
The boys reported that he used clothes brought from Rhode Island as an excuse to undress and then molest them, the suit says.
She went to the police there, and Demers was arrested and held.
But then-Auxiliary Bishop Kenneth Angell, at the direction of then-Bishop Gelineau, promised the director that if she cooperated in dropping the charges against Demers, he’d be brought back stateside to “face this,” the suit alleges.
Based on the promises that Demers would be investigated, prosecuted and punished on his return, she signed a document allowing him to be released.
Demers not only faced no immediate consequences when he came back to Rhode Island, he received a new assignment at St. Martha Church in East Providence in 1990. He denied the allegations when they surfaced in 2002.
Civil litigation has helped expose the extent of past sexual abuse, Houllahan’s suit says. But he also takes aim at the diocese and its leaders for more current statements, like the West Warwick priest, the Rev. Richard Bucci, who told WJAR that, unlike abortion, “pedophilia doesn’t kill anyone.” He later backtracked from those comments, but they’re cited in the lawsuit.
Pedophilia can, in fact, be deadly, the suit notes; multiple victims of clergy sexual abuse in Rhode Island and throughout the country have died by suicide.
“The long-term effects of abuse can have generational costs — first in terms of the costs of treatment and injury to the victims, but secondarily in the destruction to the lives of the victim’s parents and other childhood family members, and thereafter to the victim’s spouses and children,” the suit says.

A former Allentown priest was sentenced Monday to state prison for the indecent assault of a girl he met through his city parish.
Lehigh County Judge Maria Dantos noted it was a maximum sentence of one to two years in state prison for 31-year-old Kevin Lonergan, who has been free on bail in the case since he was charged.
Lonergan pleaded guilty in November to indecent assault of the girl, who was 17 at the time.
In addition to commending the bravery of the teen girl who came forward, Dantos took note of a prior accusation against Lonergan in another county.
In that incident, Lonergan was accused of molesting a 15-year-old girl, Chief Deputy District Attorney Matt Falk said. But the girl and her family did not cooperate with an investigation and the case stalled, Falk said during Monday’s hearing.
Lonergan was transferred to Allentown, a practice Dantos railed against as she hit her bench in the courtroom.
The Catholic church’s practice of transferring priests accused of misconduct came to light in the 1980s and continues more than three decades later, the judge said.
“There’s plenty of blame to go around, most of it on your shoulders,” the judge said to Lonergan.
The diocese in a prepared statement disputed Dantos’ characterization of what happened with the previous allegation.
“Regarding statements made in court, it is not accurate to say that the Diocese improperly transferred a priest who had committed an offense. Father Lonergan received a new assignment in 2016 only after Northampton County Children and Youth determined that the accusation was unfounded,” the statement said. “The Diocese took immediate action upon receiving the information on this previous allegation. Father Lonergan was forbidden from ministry, and the Diocese reported the allegation to law enforcement under its zero tolerance policy.”
The victim and her parents described a life of service to the Catholic church, and how the community built around their faith made the church a constant in their lives.
The victim described the rage she felt and the sleepless nights after the incidents with Lonergan, and the repercussions she and her family have dealt with since she reported the crime to authorities.
In one instance, a relative of Lonergan’s contacted the victim through social media, and offered her money to drop the case.
“I can feel your strength. Sometimes that’s not always an easy burden to bear, to be strong,” the judge said.
The victim’s mother and father described their devout faith, of raising their daughter in a church and community they trusted, and how church became a place of good memories and comfort.
“Church is no longer a safe place,” the victim’s mother said, adding that Mass is torturous for her and she cannot walk into a church without crying. “Kevin Lonergan’s actions have taken away my sense of security, my belief system.”
Since the charges were filed, the family has been isolated, and did not hear from their fellow parishioners or any priests.
“The church that we so believed in abandoned us,” the mother said.
Lonergan was assigned to St. Francis of Assisi Church on 11th Street in Allentown, when he met the accuser in August 2017.
He got her cellphone number from another member of the church and communicated with her, mostly via Snapchat, through January 2018, the district attorney previously said. The messages included nude photos of Lonergan and one video, Dantos said.
In February 2018, Lonergan hugged the victim at church — she attempted to pull away, but he pulled her closer and grabbed her rear over her clothes, prosecutors said.
After the victim told another priest of the assault in June 2018, the diocese reported it to the DA’s office and Lonergan was immediately suspended from public ministry.
A family friend of Lonergan’s spoke of Lonergan “humbling” himself to work at his Pottsville auto dealership. When the man said the accusations against Lonergan didn’t seem to fit, the judge stopped him.
Dantos said Lonergan pleaded guilty, and that the presumption of innocence was gone. She then told the man to take a seat, and none of the other supporters in the audience spoke.
Lonergan, in his statement to the court, did say he was guilty, of the crime, of stealing the victim’s dignity, and of the pain suffered by his family.
Lonergan asked for forgiveness, and said he would “never forgive myself for what I have done.”
Lonergan was a priest for five years, and was previously assigned to St. Jane Frances de Chantal in Palmer Township from June 2014 to May 2016. Monsignor Stephen Radocha previously said there were no credible allegations made against Lonergan while he was assigned to St. Jane’s.
A concern was raised about him in 2016 by a third party, but Northampton County Children and Youth investigated and determined that concern to be unfounded, the monsignor said.
“The Diocese offers its heartfelt prayers to the victim, to her family, and to everyone who was hurt as the result of Father Lonergan’s actions,” the Diocese of Allentown said in a released statement. “From the beginning of this case, the Diocese followed its protocols to the letter, and will continue to do so. Bishop Alfred Schlert removed Father Lonergan from ministry and immediately notified law enforcement on the day the allegations were made.”
Lonergan will not return to ministry. Now that the criminal case is finished, the diocese will submit the case to the Vatican.
After the hearing, and asked about a possible appeal, defense attorney Eric Prock said he still needs to discuss possible next steps with his client, but that all options are on the table.
The FBI is pursuing a “wide-ranging” investigation of the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo and its role in covering up clergy sexual abuse over decades, according to news reports and three sources who have spoken to federal agents.
The Buffalo News first reported Friday that agents have spoken with multiple victims of clergy sexual abuse in Buffalo, even though many of the alleged sex crimes happened decades ago. The victims said agents are interested in proving historical and ongoing cover-ups perpetuated by Buffalo Diocese leaders, according to The News.
“They’re really looking for proof of a cover-up,” Nicole Delisio Wright, an advocate for victims of clergy abuse, told The News. “Any type of proof that there’s a widespread cover-up.”
Wright previously confirmed to 7 Eyewitness News that she was interviewed by federal agents. Two other sources also confirmed that they were interviewed by agents from the bureau, who asked about specific cases of sexual abuse and the way the diocese handled them.
Stephanie McIntyre, a victim of alleged sexual abuse by Fr. Fabian Maryanski, recently spoke with federal agents from her home in another state, she also confirmed Friday. McIntyre has been offered a $400,000 settlement from the diocese for the alleged abuse.
“With the encouragement of others who are helping to fight for justice, along with lots of prayer, I realized that I had both a moral and civil obligation to do this,” McIntyre told 7 Eyewitness News of her interview with the FBI. “I believe I was able to offer them information that will be very instrumental. I continue to pray that my suffering, my story, will help others to be able to obtain the transformational justice that they need and deserve in order to pick up the pieces of their lives and move forward.”
FBI spokeswoman Maureen P. Dempsey said, “The FBI cannot confirm or deny any matter that may fall under its investigative purview unless and until it is made public through a court filing or press announcement.”
Buffalo Diocese spokeswoman Kathy Spangler did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
7 Eyewitness News featured McIntyre’s story in September in Part 3 of its investigation into Bishop Malone. Maryanski first met McIntyre in 1984 when he was the pastor at St. Patrick’s Church in Barker. The Buffalo News reported her story in May, when Maryanski was still in active ministry at Nativity church in Clarence despite the allegations.
McIntyre, in a letter she sent to Bishop Malone in April, said the priest abused her for seven years, beginning when she was 15 years old. Maryanski maintains she was in her 20s at the time.
“My abuser not only robbed me of my youthful innocence,” she wrote, “but he destroyed my family.”
McIntyre hired a lawyer and reported the abuse to the diocese in 1995 but said she “was not offered one iota of help to deal with the fallout from Fr. Maryanski’s actions.”
Church documents show the diocese considered placing Maryanski on the list of 42 accused priests in March but officials concluded, “We did not remove him from ministry despite full knowledge of the case, and so including him on list might require explanation.”
The diocese withheld Maryanski’s name from the list and has still not included him on a list of credibly accused priests.
KEY LINKS IN THE BUFFALO DIOCESE SEX ABUSE SCANDAL:
Part 1 of the 7 Eyewitness News I-Team investigation revealed that Malone returned Fr. Art Smith to ministry despite allegations of inappropriate contact with a child. Malone returned the accused priests to ministry after a previous bishop suspended him, documents obtained by the 7 Eyewitness News I-Team show.
Part 2 revealed that Malone allowed Fr. Robert Yetter to remain pastor of St. Mary’s in Swormville despite multiple sexual harassment allegations by young men.
Part 3 cited church records that showed more than 100 priests in the diocese were accused of sexual abuse or misconduct. Malone in March released a list of only 42 priests “who were removed from ministry, were retired, or left ministry after allegations of sexual abuse of a minor.”
In September, the State Attorney General launched a statewide investigation into sexual abuse in the Catholic Church and last week, it was revealed the FBI has launched its own criminal investigation into the diocese.
In November, I-Team Chief Investigator Charlie Specht traveled to Portland, Maine. Malone served as bishop there before coming to Buffalo. There, Charlie spoke with advocates for victims of sexual abuse about how Malone had been accused of mishandling sex abuse cases. The I-Team also obtained new documents surrounding the cases which paint a much different picture of the bishop’s past.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Catholic Diocese of Buffalo, which is facing nearly 250 lawsuits involving clergy sexual abuse, has declared bankruptcy.
Aside from the obvious financial implications, the diocese’s formal Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing means that many of the victims of clergy sexual abuse may not anytime soon get the answers that have long been hidden in secret diocesan archives regarding pedophile priests.
But there is still a chance that those hidden files could be forced as part of a bankruptcy settlement, as has happened in other dioceses.
Because the cases will soon be shifted from state civil court to U.S. Bankruptcy Court, survivors of clergy sexual abuse are likely to receive compensation, though it is unclear how much per case the diocese would be required to pay out.
According to bankruptcy documents, filed in federal court, the Buffalo Diocese is facing between $50 million and $100 million in estimated liability.
Apostolic Administrator Bishop Edward Scharfenberger appeared in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Buffalo Friday morning just hours after filing for Chapter 11 protection for the Diocese of Buffalo.
Scharfenberger later appeared at a news conference at the diocese with attorneys.
“I’m careful not to use the word bankruptcy, even though we are in a bankruptcy court, because a lot of people are under the impression that the diocese is running out of money – we can’t meet our obligations to our employees – which is not true,” Scharfenberger told reporters.
According to the court filing the diocese owes $3.5 million to a list of 20 top creditors. M&T Bank tops the list at $1.6 million, but the other 19 are victims who filed child sexual abuse lawsuits against the diocese. But there are actually more tahn 250 cases filed against the diocese.
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Carl Bucki held what he called an “emergency hearing” hours after the filing.
Bucki called the bankruptcy an “extraordinary process”.
The judge asked if priests with substantiated allegations against them are being paid by the diocese.
7 Eyewitness Nee asked that question at the news conference with attorney Steve Donato responding.
“To the extent that there is a claim owned to a clergy on substantiated abuse list, which is on the website, to the extend that there were any funds owed to them as of today due prior to the filing — those will not be paid,” replied Donato.
Bishop Scharfenberger says Catholic schools and parishes are not part of bankruptcy filing.
“The health of the diocese is in the health of it’s parishes and the same with catholic charities and other affiliated agencies – they are not involved in this,” responded Scharfenberger.
The bishop says no parish donations will be touched and remain separate from bankruptcy.
“But not for the purposes of doing settlements — in other words – no money comes out of collections in order to resolve claims,” Scharfenberger remarked.
The bishop says the filing is “not a stunt” to deflect from the lawsuits filed against the church.
The next bankrupcty court hearing is schedueld for March 26th at 10 a.m.
The bankruptcy means the church could be forced to sell properties and to make appeals for more money from parishioners, but it also paves the way for the Catholic Church in Western New York to — after its debts are paid off — emerge from the crisis with its mission and services still intact.
The dramatic move comes after the Diocese of Rochester became the first Roman Catholic diocese in New York State to file for bankruptcy on Sept. 12.
It is no doubt one result of the Child Victims Act, which was passed in January 2019 and allows victims of child sexual abuse in all institutions — not only the Catholic Church — a one-year “window” period in which they can sue the institutions to prove they were responsible for the abuse.
To date, more than 300 Child Victims Act lawsuits have been filed in Western New York.
At least 250 lawsuits allege abuse by clergy or employees in the Diocese of Buffalo, making the diocese the most-sued entity in all of New York State under the new law.
In December, Bishop Richard J. Malone resigned after an investigation of his leadership by the Vatican. Revelations about his behind-the-scenes efforts to conceal sexual misconduct came to light after his two secretaries, Siobhan O’Connor and Fr. Ryszard Biernat, became whistleblowers and provided documents and audio recordings to 7 Eyewitness News.
On Feb. 4, interim bishop Edward B. Scharfenberger announced the closure of Christ the King Seminary, citing financial pressures.
There was growing pressure for Malone to resign since August 2018, when the 7 Eyewitness News I-Team revealed that Malone:
The pressure on Malone intensified in September of last year, when the I-Team published secret audio recordings where Malone attempted to conceal sexual misconduct allegations involving Rev. Jeffrey Nowak. Malone called the priest “dangerous” but allowed him to remain pastor of Our Lady Help of Christians for more than six months with no notification to parishioners.
Vatican City • The Legion of Christ religious order is promising accountability and transparency after damaging new revelations of sex abuse and cover-up that have undermined its credibility, a decade after revelations of its pedophile founder disgraced the order.
The Legion vowed to investigate the confirmed cases of past abuse by 33 priests and 71 seminarians. The Mexico-based order said it would reach out to the victims, publish the names of those found guilty of abuse in either a church or a state court, and punish superiors responsible for “gross negligence” in the handling of abuse accusations.
The measures described in a statement late Wednesday were responding to a burgeoning new scandal involving the order. The Vatican took over the Legion 10 years ago following revelations that its late founder, the Rev. Marcial Maciel, raped his seminarians, fathered at least three children and built a secretive, cultlike order to hide his double life.
Recent revelations have shown the Legion’s abuse problem went far beyond Maciel. Newly public cases exposed generational chains of abuse and high-level cover-up by superiors who are still in power. The cases indicated that the Vatican envoy who was tasked with reforming and purifying the order was part of the cover-up.
In its statement, the Legion officially retracted the yearslong campaign it mounted to defame and discredit the original group of men who went public in the 1990s to accuse Maciel. The Legion begged their forgiveness and admitted it hadn’t made reparations to them all.
But the Legion’s statement included no specific promises to compensate the original victims or any other abuse survivors, saying only that it was prepared to pay for “necessary therapy” and other assistance.
As a result, former Legionaries and victims dismissed the measures as mere damage control. The Legion made reparation pledges in the past but did not follow through on them. The order also vowed before to change course, but Maciel’s old guard remains in power.
The Rev. Christian Borgogno, a former Legion priest who co-founded a Facebook group about the order, noted that most of the new measures merely conform to what the rest of the church does. In addition, he noted that the Legion is only promising to publish names of convicted abusers, not those who have been credibly accused, as dioceses and religious orders in the U.S. and Chile do.
“Essentially, they’re presenting as a tremendous step forward standards that are obsolete compared to the current practice in the church,“ he wrote.
The measures were contained in two new documents approved by the Legion’s leadership, which has been meeting in Rome for several weeks to elect new leaders and set policy decisions. They were presented by the Rev. John Connor, an American who was elected superior general in a shift from the Mexican control of the order that dated from its 1941 founding in Mexico.
ChristoFascist Roman Catholic punk bitch bully Anthony DeStefano thinks he is a tough guy.. Well this supposed Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta better have his fucking will written out, his life insurance paid off and kissed his inbred loved ones good-fucking-bye cause it is far past time for this ChristoTaliban to reap all he has sown and have done unto him as he wants to do unto us atheists. Let’s see if his bitch ass is really tough. Maybe he would like to take me on in a ring? I would kick his ass and rip his head off and shit down his neck before he could even throw one fucking punch.

Here is the opinion piece from this Roman Catholic Pedophile Defending scumbag he had on Fox News about us atheists, with my comments added in bold along with some meme sets for this lying assed Roman Catholic piece of shit. Then I make about four points for this scumbag to suck on and learn from.
Today’s atheists are bullies — and they are doing their best to intimidate the rest of us into silence
No bitch, we atheists have fucking had it with you twisted trodlogyte theists ChristTalibanss and MuzzieTalibans murdering and persecuting us Atheists and many others in your religions of hate, bigotry, misogyny, and death. And we will not lay down for you troglodyte neanderthals who wants to bring us back to your fucking disgusting Dark Ages.
There’s no polite way to say it. Atheists today are the most arrogant, ignorant and dangerous people on earth.
We’ve
all seen how these pompous prigs get offended by the slightest bit of
religious imagery in public and mortified if even a whisper of “Merry
Christmas” escapes the lips of some well-meaning but naïve department
store clerk during the “holiday season.”
First off you disgusting ChristoTaliban Fascist pig, let’s see in pretty memes what the Founding Fathers said about the separation of church and state and how religious shitstains like you should go crawl back into your fucking cave.
Now let’s see what other Presidents and leaders have had to say about the Separation of Church and State.
Too bad ChristoFascist Talibans like you Anthony DeStefano fail to recognize the Founding Fathers and their teachings and laws on separation of church and state huh? But then again? If you celebrate Christmas? All you are is a closeted Pagan practicing Pagan rituals you ChristoFascist Taliban stole from them when you went out on your Catholic Church 11 Crusades into Northern Paganlands and slaughtered and butchered hundreds of thousands of pagans huh?
Then you little hypocrite psychotic ChristoTaliban bitches cry if Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts does not put Merry Fucking Christmas on their holiday cups and have a fucking meltdown over it. Well asshole, here is a new Starbucks holiday cup coming out with a bible verse on it. Enjoy you ChristoFascist.
Starbucks new Christmas cup they are coming out with for this year.
To cite a few recent
examples: Last December, the group American Atheists launched its annual
billboard campaign with the slogan: “Just Skip Church — It’s All Fake
News.” In February, the American Humanist Association became furious
when President Trump had the gall to mention Christianity and Jesus
Christ without also mentioning atheists—at the National Prayer
Breakfast! (How dare he!) And just this month, the Freedom From Religion
Foundation raised holy hell because the Reverend Billy Graham was laid
out in state in the Capitol Rotunda before his burial.
Yes, these atheists are loud, nasty, unapologetic and in-your-face.
But
while their arrogance is annoying, it’s nothing compared to their
ignorance. Atheists believe that the vast majority of human beings from
all periods of time and all places on the Earth have been wrong about
the thing most important to them. They basically dismiss this vast
majority as being either moronic or profoundly naïve. What they don’t
seem to know – or won’t admit – is that the greatest contributions to
civilization have been made, not by atheists, but by believers.
Too many Christian authors have tried to be kind and amiable in an effort to demonstrate that believers don’t have to sink into the mud in order to defend the faith. That tact is very charitable, but unfortunately, it just doesn’t work with bullies.
Aristotle, Francis Bacon, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Isaac Newton all
believed in God. Nobel-prize winner Wilhelm Rontgen, the discoverer of
X-rays; Antoine Lavoisier, the father of modern chemistry; William Keen,
the pioneer of brain surgery; rocket scientist Wernher von Braun; and
Ernest Walton, the first person to artificially split the atom—all
believed in God.
Let’s look at a whole lot of scientists and philosphers you ChristoTaliban, especially you Roman Catholic degenerates persecuted and murdered shall we?
Hypatia of Alexandria
Hypatia was a pagan philosopher in late 4th century Alexandria. She appears to have been a lecturer in Platonic thought, a practicing scientist, and the author of several mathematical treatises. She was killed by a Christian mob in the year 415.
In an age when a male-dominated Christian clergy was working to suppress independent thought, Hypatia served as a walking repudiation of clerical power. As an important scientist, a pagan – and most annoyingly, a female – Hypatia’s very existence was a threat to the social order imposed by the ignorant Christian clergy of the day. While speaking publicly in favor of religious toleration, she was seized by an angry Christian mob and murdered, with the enthusiastic support of the local Christian bishop, who found it intolerable that Christians should be lectured by a scientist and a woman.
Roger Bacon
Roger Bacon (1220-1292) was an English philosopher and Franciscan friar who is was a talented natural scientist and is considered one of the pioneers of the “scientific method” and was noted for his use of empirical observation. His greatest work was the Opus Major, which contains treatments of mathematics, optics, alchemy, and astronomy, including theories on the positions and sizes of the celestial bodies. Bacon appears to have been imprisoned by the ecclesiastical authorities sometime around 1279 and may have died in captivity.
Bacon was one of the great freethinkers of the Middle Ages. Criticizing everything from Scholasticism to the Julian Calendar to the acceptance of Catholic doctrine on the authority of the Church and Tradition, Bacon aroused the ire of the ecclesiastical regime. He was imprisoned in 1279 for being too original a thinker and spent the rest of his life forcibly confined in a Franciscan monastery under the orders of Franciscan Minister-General Jerome of Ascoli, where he eventually died in captivity, a medieval martyr to free thought.
Pietro d’ Abano
Pietro d’ Abano (1257-1316) was an Italian philosopher, astrologer, and professor of medicine. He was a noted author whose most famous work was Conciliator Differentiarum, quæ inter Philosophos et Medicos Versantur, an exploration on the relationship between contemporary medical theories and Aristotelian natural philosophy. He was arrested by the Inquisition and died in prison around 1316. He was condemned posthumously and his bones burned.
Abano was such an educated man that Church authorities assumed he must be in league with the devil. He was accused of witchcraft and of obtaining his knowledge by the dark arts, which was a common accusation made against learned people. Abano is lucky he died in prison or else he certainly would have been burned alive.
Cecco d’ Ascoli
Cecco d’ Ascoli (1257-1327) was an Italian encyclopaedist, physician, and scholar specializing in mathematics and astronomy. He was a professor of astronomy at the University of Bologna and was such a noted astronomer that there is a crater on the moon named after him. He is famous for his feud with the poet Dante. He was eventually tried for heresy and burned at the stake in Florence, the first university professor to be condemned to death by the Inquisition.
Like Bacon, Ascoli was known as a freethinker who eschewed Church doctrine in favor of scientific facts. He was charged with “impiety” for his dedication to empirical science and burned at the stake in 1327 as an example that university professors should not be too assertive in promoting scientific theory.
Michael Servetus
Michael Servetus (1509-1553), usually known simply as Servetus, Servetus was a Spanish physician credited with discovering pulmonary circulation. He wrote a book, which outlined his discovery along with his ideas about reforming Christianity – it was deemed to be heretical. He escaped from Spain and the Catholic Inquisition but came up against the Protestant Inquisition in Switzerland, who held him in equal disregard. Under orders from John Calvin, Servetus was arrested, tortured and burned at the stake on the shores of Lake Geneva – copies of his book were accompanied for good measure.
The intransigent Catholic authorities in Vienne (and the Calvinists of Geneva) could not tolerate the challenge posed to their respective creeds by the scientifically minded Servetus. Rather than deal with his skeptical arguments rationally, it was easier to off the poor bastard by burning him at the stake, thus making Michael Servetus a true martyr to science.
Giordano Bruno
Bruno is among the most famous scientists ever to run afoul of the Inquisition. Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) was a Dominican friar, mathematician, astronomer and poet. He is most remembered for his cosmological theories. After seven years of trials in Rome, he was condemned and burned at the stake in 1600.
Like Galileo, Bruno’s great crime was proposing that the earth was not stationary at the center of the universe. He proposed that stars might were like other suns, each of which might have their own exoplanets capable of supporting life. This ran counter to Church doctrine, so the Inquisition had him executed for having the audacity to challenge Catholic dogma. He was burned at the stake, a martyr to science.
Galileo Galilei
The Italian astronomer and physicist Galileo Galilei was trialled and convicted in 1633 for publishing his evidence that supported the Copernican theory that the Earth revolves around the Sun. His research was instantly criticized by the Catholic Church for going against the established scripture that places Earth and not the Sun at the center of the universe. Galileo was found “vehemently suspect of heresy” for his heliocentric views and was required to “abjure, curse and detest” his opinions. He was sentenced to house arrest, where he remained for the rest of his life and his offending texts were banned.
Tommaso Campanella
The Dominican friar Tommaso Campanella (1568-1639) was an Italian astrologer, philosopher, and poet. Early in his clerical career he became disenchanted with Aristotelian thought and became a proponent of the new empiricism. He was briefly imprisoned by the Inquisition for engaging in wild astrological speculation. He was released but was apprehended in Calabria, tortured, and spent twenty-six years in prison. He was later released to be part of the court of Pope Urban VIII and had some remote involvement in the Galileo affair. Despite his age, he again got in trouble and had to go into exile to the court of Louis XIII of France, where he died in 1639.
Campanella was an empiricist who questioned the authority of Aristotle. His skepticism of Aristotle was anathema to the Inquisition, who had Campanella arrested, tortured, and imprisoned for his commitment to empirical science. The bloodthirsty Inquisition would have put Campanella to death had he not feigned madness in his cell.
Alan Turning
The father of modern computer science, who pioneered the idea of computer memory. He saved millions of lives during WWII with his work on the Bombe, a code breaking maching that broke the Nazi’s Enigma code. His greatest achievement was cracking the Enigma, a mechanical device used by the German army to encode secure messages. It proved nearly impossible to decrypt without the correct cipher, which the German forces changed every day. Turing worked to decipher German naval communications at a point when German U-Boats were sinking ships carrying vital supplies across the Atlantic between Allied nations. In 1941, Turing and his team managed to decode the German Enigma messages, helping to steer Allied ships away from the German submarine attacks. In 1942, he traveled to the U.S. to help the Americans with their own codebreaking work.
Due to his being gay? He was persecuted by Christians and eventually went insane from the forced treatment he had to endure and committed suicide. In 1952, Turing was arrested after reporting a burglary in his home. In the course of the investigation, the police discovered Turing’s relationship with another man, Arnold Murray. Homosexual relationships were illegal in the UK at the time, because of Christian theology, and he was charged with “gross indecency.” He pled guilty on the advice of his lawyer, and opted to undergo chemical castration instead of serving time in jail. In 2009, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown issued a public apology to Turing on behalf of the British government. “Alan and the many thousands of other gay men who were convicted as he was convicted under homophobic laws were treated terribly,” Brown said. “This recognition of Alan’s status as one of Britain’s most famous victims of homophobia is another step towards equality and long overdue.” Acknowledging Britain’s debt to Turing for his vital contributions to the war effort, he announced, “on behalf of the British government, and all those who live freely thanks to Alan’s work I am very proud to say: we’re sorry, you deserved so much better.” His conviction was not actually pardoned, though, until 2013, when he received a rare royal pardon from the Queen of England.
And speaking of pioneers of science, who do you
think coined the term “scientist” in the first place? William Whewell,
an Anglican priest and theologian! He also came up with words
“physicist,” “cathode”, “anode” and many other commonly used scientific
terms. Essentially, the very language used by scientists today comes
from the brain of a believer.
Even the Big Bang Theory itself –
which atheists mistakenly think bolsters their arguments against God –
was proposed by Fr. George Lemaitre, a Belgian astronomer and Roman
Catholic priest! And the father of genetics—which provides the basis
for the whole theory of evolution—was Gregor Mendel, an Augustinian
monk!
Yes, the new atheists have an ignorance of history bordering on madness.
But are they really dangerous, too?
You bet they are. The truth
is, the atheist position is incapable of supporting any coherent system
of morality other than ruthless social Darwinism. That’s why it has
caused more deaths, murders and bloodshed than any other belief system
in the history of the world.
Atheists, of course, are always
claiming hysterically that Christianity has been responsible for most of
the world’s wars, but that’s just another example of atheistic
ignorance. The main reasons for war have always been economic gain,
territorial gain, civil and revolutionary conflicts. According to
Philip Axelrod’s monumental “Encyclopedia of Wars,” only 6.98
percent or all wars from 8000 BC to present were religious in nature. If
you subtract Islamic wars from the equation, only 3.2 percent of wars
were due to specifically Christian causes. That means that over 96
percent of all the wars on this planet were due to worldly reasons.
Indeed,
in the last 100 years alone, upwards of 360 million people were killed
by governments—and close to half of those people were killed by atheist
governments!
In the last 1,800 years Christians have slaughtered and butchered and murdered 3 BILLION humans in their Wars, Crusades, Inquisitions, and mass persecutions of Pagans, Jews, Atheists, LGBTS, Native Americans and many others.
Yes, there is a profound and frightening connection
between atheism and death. Atheist leaders like Stalin, Mao Zedong,
Hideki To ̄jo ̄, Pol Pot and many others bear the blame for the
overwhelming majority of deaths caused by war and mass murder in
history. And while many atheists make the preposterous claim that Adolf
Hitler was a Christian, his private diaries, first published in 1953 by
Farrar, Straus and Young, reveal clearly that the Fuhrer was a rabid
atheist: “The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity,” Hitler stated,
“was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity’s
illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew… Our epoch will
certainly see the end of the disease of Christianity.”
The
facts are incontrovertible. Between the years 1900 and 2017,
approximately 150 million people were killed by atheistic political
regimes. 150 million!
And it makes perfect sense, doesn’t
it? Atheists don’t believe in God, so they don’t believe in any
transcendent, objective moral law. Nor do they believe that human beings
are made in the image of God, and so they don’t believe humans possess
infinite value and dignity. When you put these two beliefs together, you
have a deadly recipe that makes killing “problematic” human beings
quite easy and defensible.
And yet? Hundreds of thousands of Christian priests and pastors are in prison for raping children, murdering others, stealing, dealing drugs and all kinds of other crimes.
One has only to look at the growing
numbers of abortions, suicides, homicides, and cases of state-sponsored
euthanasia, and infanticide, to see the atheist-death connection. As a
thoroughly secular and functionally atheistic culture, we are fast
becoming accustomed to “killing” our problems rather than dealing with
them in a compassionate, loving, and sacrificial way.
And here? Are just some of the suicides of the perverted, pedo priests, who killed themselves because of their brutal rapes and then? You degenerate Roman Catholic lovers of Pedophile Pimps and Pedophiles attacked and trashed them, while you defended your cult of Pedophile Pimps and Pedophiles.
Voices From the Grave: Suicide Victims of the Roman Catholic Church
But it was ok for Christians to brutally murder billions, especially pregnant women and their fetuses huh? Oh and I show something about suicides and infantcides in section two exposing your Cult of Roman Catholic Pedophile Pimps, Pedophiles, Child Abusers, Child Enslavers and Child Murderers.
So yes, the
modern breed of atheist is arrogant, ignorant and dangerous. Too many
books written in response to these pseudo-intellectual hatemongers have
been altogether too nice. Too many Christian authors have tried to be
kind and amiable in an effort to demonstrate that believers don’t have
to sink into the mud in order to defend the faith. That tact is very
charitable, but unfortunately, it just doesn’t work with bullies.
And
that’s exactly what modern-day atheists are—bullies; bullies who are
doing their best to intimidate the rest of us into silence.
This atheist was well known for kicking ChristoTaliban bullies asses as he was growing up. When they picked on my lgbt friends? I kicked their fascist asses. When they picked on my Pagan friends? I kicked their fucking asses. When they picked on my atheist friends? I kicked their asses. There is only one way to deal with ChristoTaliban punks like you bitch. And there are millions more atheists who are just like me, who are sick and tired of you twisted, hateful, hypocrite, scumbag ChristoFascist pig fuckers. So punk, you want to bring it on? I know a ring we can meet at and trust me. I would stomp your useless ChristoFascist pig fucking ass into dust if you dropped your micronuts and decided to meet me in a ring. Or many of my other atheist friends, especially my tough assed trained female atheist friends. They would stomp your nuts off you bitch assed CockSucker for Christ.
Well, we can’t allow that to happen. As I say in my book, “Inside the Atheist Mind: Unmasking the Religion of Those Who Say There is No God,”
there is only one way to deal with bullies, even in this politically
correct world—and that is to stand up to them and fight them; to fight
them in a bold, aggressive, and fearless way, and to fight them now.
MY RESPONSE TO THIS CHRISTOTALIBAN PSYCHO ANTHONY DESTEFANO
Point One: Christianity is responsible for about 3 BILLION deaths in it’s 1,800 year history, including the worst cases of mass genocide in human history against us Native Americans, and against Pagans, Jews and many others. Oh and Hitler and his Nazis were Christians you dumb ass ChristoFascist.
As usual, you ChristoFascist, you spew outrageous lies and subterfuge as any mental midget moron ChristoTaliban that you are. But then again? We expect this from asshole ChristoFascist scum like you Anthony. But you couldn’t tell the truth if Jesus himself was fucking you up the ass with a big, black dick you love oh so much.
Let’s look at just some of the Crimes Against Humanity that Christians have committed and see exactly who the real bullies are
This is the first of many mass genocides that Christians committed in the name of God, Jesus, Christianity and their bibles and justified it.
EXAMPLE ONE: Christian Atrocities: Three Centuries Of Pagan Persecution by ChristoTaliban Shitstains
429 The temple of goddess Athena (Parthenon) on the Acropolis of Athens is sacked. The Athenian Pagans are persecuted.
435
On 14th November, a new edict by Theodosius II orders the death penalty
for all “heretics” and Pagans of the empire. Only Judaism is considered
a legal non-Christian religion.
438 Theodosius
II issues an new edict (31st January) against the Pagans, incriminating
their “idolatry” as the reason of a recent plague!
440 to 450 The Christians demolish all the monuments, altars and temples of Athens, Olympia, and other Greek cities.
448
Theodosius II orders all non-Christian books to be burned. All copies
of Julian’s work which could be found were destroyed, and they would
have been lost entirely if bishop Cyril of Alexandria (376-444 AD), had
not cited extracts from the first three of seven of Julian’s books in
his refutation of him, while admitting that he would not cite some of
his srguments!
450 All the temples of Aphrodisias
(the City of the Goddess Aphrodite) are demolished and all its
libraries burned down. The city is renamed Stavroupolis (City of the
Cross).
451 New edict by Theodosius II (4th November) emphasises that “idolatry” is punished by death.
457 to 491
Sporadic persecutions against the Pagans of the Eastern Empire. Among
others, the physician Jacobus and the philosopher Gessius are executed.
Severianus, Herestios, Zosimus, Isidorus and others are tortured and
imprisoned. The proselytiser Conon and his followers exterminate the
last non-Christians of Imbros Island, Norheast Aegean Sea. The last
worshippers of Lavranius Zeus are exterminated in Cyprus.
482 to 488 The majority of the Pagans of Minor Asia are exterminated after a desperate revolt against the emperor and the Church.
486 More “underground” Pagan priests are discovered, arrested, burlesqued, tortured and executed in Alexandria, Egypt.
515
Baptism becomes obligatory even for those that already say they are
Christians. The emperor of Constantinople, Anastasius, orders the
massacre of the Pagans in the Arabian city Zoara and the demolition of
the temple of local god Theandrites.
528 Emperor
Jutprada (Justinianus) outlaws the “alternative” Olympian Games of
Antioch. He also orders the execution—by fire, crucifixion, tearing to
pieces by wild beasts or cutting to pieces by iron nails—of all who
practice “sorcery, divination, magic or idolatry” and prohibits all
teachings by the Pagans (“the ones suffering from the blasphemous
insanity of the Hellenes”).
529 Justinianus outlaws the Athenian Philosophical Academy and has its property confiscated.
532 The inquisitor Ioannis Asiacus, a fanatic monk, leads a crusade against the Pagans of Minor Asia.
542
Justinianus allows the inquisitor Ioannis Asiacus to convert the Pagans
of Phrygia, Caria and Lydia, Minor Asia. Within 35 years of this
crusade, 99 churches and 12 monasteries are built on the sites of
demolished Pagan temples.
546 Hundreds of Pagans are put to death in Constantinople by the inquisitor Ioannis Asiacus.
556
Justinianus orders the notorious inquisitor Amantius to go to Antioch,
to find, arrest, torture and exterminate the last non-Christians of the
city and burn all the private libraries down.
562
Mass arrests, burlesquing, tortures, imprisonments and executions of
gentile Hellenes in Athens, Antioch, Palmyra and Constantinople.
578 to 582
The Christians torture and crucify gentile Hellenes all around the
Eastern Empire, and exterminate the last non-Christians of Heliopolis
(Baalbek).
580 The Christian inquisitors attack a
secret temple of Zeus in Antioch. The priest commits suicide, but the
rest of the Pagans are arrested. All the prisoners, the Vice Governor
Anatolius included, are tortured and sent to Constantinople to face
trial. Sentenced to death they are thrown to the lions. The wild animals
being unwilling to tear them to pieces, they end up crucified. Their
dead bodies are dragged in the streets by the Christian mob and
afterwards thrown unburied in the dump.
583 New persecutions against the gentile Hellenes by the Mauricius.
590 In all the Eastern Empire the Christian accusers “discover” Pagan conspiracies. New storm of torture and executions.
692
The “Penthekto” Council of Constantinople prohibits the remains of
Calends, Brumalia, Anthesteria, and other Pagan/Dionysian celebrations.
804
The gentile Hellenes of Mesa Mani (Cape Tainaron, Lakonia, Greece)
resist successfully the attempt of Tarasius, Patriarch of
Constantinople, to convert them to Christianity.
950 to 988 Violent conversion of the last gentile Hellenes of Laconia by the Armenian “Saint” Nikon.
314 Immediately after its full legalisation, the
Christian Church attacks the gentiles (non-Christians). The Council of
Ancyra denounces the worship of Goddess Artemis.
324
The emperor Constantine declares Christianity as the only official
religion of the Roman empire. In Dydima, Minor Asia, he sacks the Oracle
of the god Apollo and tortures the Pagan priests to death. He also
evicts all non-Christian peoples from Mount Athos and destroys all the
local Hellenic temples.
326 Constantine,
following the instructions of his mother Helen, destroys the temple of
the god Asclepius in Aigeai Cilicia and many temples of the goddess
Aphrodite in Jerusalem, Aphaca, Mambre, Phoenicia, Baalbek, etc.
330
Constantine steals the treasures and statues of the Pagan temples of
Greece to decorate Nova Roma (Constantinople), the new capital of his
Empire.
335 Constantine sacks many Pagan temples
of Minor Asia and Palestine and orders the execution by crucifixion of
“all magicians and soothsayers”. Martyrdom of the neoplatonist
philosopher Sopatrus.
341 Flavius Julius
Constantius persecutes “all the soothsayers and the Hellenists”. Many
gentile Hellenes are either imprisoned or executed.
346
New large scale persecutions against non-Christian peoples in
Constantinople. Banishment of the famous orator Libanius accused as a
“magician”.
353 An edict of Constantius orders the death penalty for all kind of worship through sacrifices and “idols”.
354
A new edict of Constantius orders the closing of all Pagan Temples.
Some of them are profaned and turned into brothels or gambling rooms.
Executions of Pagan priests. First burning of libraries in various
cities of the Empire. The first lime factories are built next to closed
Pagan Temples. A large part of Sacred Gentile architecture is turned
into lime.
356 A new edict of Constantius orders the destruction of the Pagan Temples and the execution of all “idolaters”.
357 Constantius outlaws all methods of Divination (Astrology not excluded).
359
In Skythopolis, Syria, the Christians organise the first death camps
for the torture and executions of the arrested non-Christians from all
around the empire.
361 to 363 Religious tolerance
and restoration of the Pagan cults declared in Constantinople (11th
December 361) by the Pagan emperor Flavius Claudius Julianus.
363 Assassination of Emperor Julianus (26th June).
364
Emperor Flavius Jovianus orders the burning of the Library of Antioch.
An Imperial edict (11th September) orders the death penalty for all
Gentiles that worship their ancestral Gods or practice Divination
(“sileat omnibus perpetuo divinandi uriositas”). Three different edicts
(4th February, 9th September, 23rd December) order the confiscation of
all properties of Pagan Temples and the death penalty for participation
in Pagan rituals, even private ones.
365 An Imperial edict (17th November) forbids the gentile (Pagan) officers of the army to command Christian soldiers.
370
Valens orders a tremendous persecution of non-Christian peoples in all
the Eastern Empire. In Antioch, among many other non-Christians, the
ex-governor Fidustius and the priests Hilarius and Patricius are
executed. Tons of books are burnt in the squares of the cities of the
Eastern Empire. All the friends of Julianus are persecuted (Orebasius,
Sallustius, Pegasius etc.), the philosopher Simonides is burned alive
and the philosopher Maximus is decapitated.
372 Valens orders the governor of Minor Asia to exterminate all the Hellenes and all documents of their wisdom.
373
New prohibition of all divination methods. The term “Pagan” (pagani,
villagers, equivalent to the modern insult, “peasants”) is introduced by
the Christians to demean non-believers.
375 The temple of god Asclepius in Epidaurus, Greece, is closed down by the Christians.
380
On 27th February, Christianity becomes the exclusive religion of the
Roman Empire by an edict of Emperor Flavius Theodosius, requiring that
“all the various nations, which are subject to our clemency and
moderation should continue in the profession of that religion, which was
delivered to the Romans by the divine Apostle Peter”. Non-christians
are called “loathsome, heretics, stupid and blind”. In another edict
Theodosius calls “insane” those that do not believe in the christian god
and outlaws all disagreements with the Church dogmas. Ambrosius, bishop
of Milan, starts destroying all the Pagan Temples of his area.
Christian priests lead the mob against the Temple of Goddess Demeter in
Eleusis and try to lynch the hierophants Nestorius and Priskus. The 95
year-old hierophant Nestorius, ends the Eleusinian Mysteries and
announces the predominance of mental darkness over the human race.
381
On 2nd May, Theodosius deprives of all their rights the Christians that
return back to the Pagan religion. In all the Eastern Empire the Pagan
temples and Libraries are looted or burned down. On 21st December,
Theodosius outlaws even simple visits to the temples of the Hellenes. In
Constantinople, the temple of goddess Aphrodite is turned to a brothel
and the temples of Sun and Artemis to stables.
382 “Hellelujah” (“Glory to Yahweh”) is imposed in the Christian mass.
384
Theodosius orders the Praetorian Prefect Maternus Cynegius, a dedicated
Christian, to cooperate with the local bishops and destroy the temples
of the Pagans in Northern Greece and Minor Asia.
385 to 388
Maternus Cynegius, encouraged by his fanatic wife, and bishop “Saint”
Marcellus with his gangs scour the countryside and sack and destroy
hundreds of Hellenic temples, shrines and altars. Among others they
destroy the temple of Edessa, the Cabeireion of Imbros, the temple of
Zeus in Apamea, the temple of Apollo in Dydima and all the temples of
Palmyra. Thousands of innocent Pagans from all sides of the empire
suffer martyrdom in the notorious death camps of Skythopolis.
386 Theodosius outlaws (16th June) the care of the sacked Pagan temples.
388
Public talks on religious subjects are also outlawed by Theodosius. The
old orator Libanius sends his famous Epistle “Pro Templis” to
Theodosius, with a hope that the few remaining Hellenic Temples will be
respected and spared.
389 to 390 All
non-Christian date-methods are outlawed. Hordes of fanatic hermits from
the desert flood the cities of the Middle East and Egypt and destroy
statues, altars, libraries and Pagan temples, and lynch the Pagans.
Theophilus, Patriarch of Alexandria, starts heavy persecutions against
non-Christian peoples, turns the temple of Dionysos into a Christian
church, burns down the Mithraeum of the city, destroys the temple of
Zeus and burlesques the Pagan priests before they are killed by stoning.
The Christian mob profanes the cult images.
391 On 24th February, a new edict of Theodosius
prohibits not only visits to pagan temples but also looking at the
vandalised statues. New heavy persecutions occur all around the empire.
In Alexandria, Egypt, pagans, led by the philosopher Olympius, revolt
and after some street fights they lock themselves inside the fortified
temple of the god Serapis (the Serapeion). After a violent siege, the
Christians take over the building, demolish it, burn its famous library
and profane the cult images.
392 On 8th November,
Theodosius outlaws all the non-Christian rituals and names them
“superstitions of the gentiles” (gentilicia superstitio). New full scale
persecutions against Pagans. The Mysteries of Samothrace are ended and
the priests slaughtered. In Cyprus the local bishop “Saint” Epiphanius
and “Saint” Tychon destroy almost all the temples of the island and
exterminate thousands of non-Christians. The local Mysteries of goddess
Aphrodite are ended. Theodosius’s edict declares: “the ones that won’t
obey pater Epiphanius have no right to keep living in that island”. The
Pagans revolt against the emperor and the Church in Petra, Aeropolis,
Rafia, Gaza, Baalbek and other cities of the Middle East.
393
The Pythian Games, the Aktia Games and the Olympic Games are outlawed
as part of the Hellenic “idolatry”. The Christians sack the temples of
Olympia.
395 Two new edicts (22nd July and 7th
August) cause new persecutions against Pagans. Rufinus, the eunuch Prime
Minister of emperor Flavius Arcadius directs the hordes of the baptised
Goths (led by Alaric) to the country of the Hellenes. Encouraged by
Christian monks the barbarians sack and burn many cities (Dion, Delphi,
Megara, Corinth, Pheneos, Argos, Nemea, Lycosoura, Sparta, Messene,
Phigaleia, Olympia, etc.), slaughter or enslave innumerable gentile
Hellenes and burn down all the temples. Among others, they burn down the
Eleusinian Sanctuary and burn alive all its priests (including the
hierophant of Mithras Hilarius).
396 On 7th
December, a new edict by Arcadius orders that Paganism be treated as
high treason. Imprisonment of the few remaining Pagan priests and
hierophants.

398
The Fourth Church Council of Carthage prohibits to everybody, including
to the Christian bishops, the study of the books of the Pagans.
Porphyrius, bishop of Gaza, demolishes almost all the Pagan temples of
his city (except 9 of them that remain active).
399
With a new edict (13th July) Flavius Arcadius orders all the still
standing Pagan temples, mainly in the countryside, to be immediately
demolished.
400 Bishop Nicetas destroys the Oracle of the god Dionysus in Vesai and baptises all the non-Christians of this area.
401
The Christian mob of Carthage lynches non-Christians and destroys
temples and “idols”. In Gaza too, the local bishop “Saint” Porphyrius
sends his followers to lynch Pagans and to demolish the remaining 9
still active temples of the city. The 15th Council of Chalkedon orders
all the Christians that still keep good relations with their gentile
relatives to be excommunicated (even after their death).
405
John Chrysostom sends hordes of gray dressed monks armed with clubs and
iron bars to destroy the “idols” in all the cities of Palestine.
406
John Chrysostom collects funds from rich Christian women to financially
support the demolition of the Hellenic temples. In Ephessus he orders
the destruction of the famous temple of goddess Artemis. In Salamis,
Cyprus, “Saints” Epiphanius and Eutychius continue the persecutions of
the Pagans and the total destruction of their temples and sanctuaries.
407 A new edict outlaws once more all the non-Christian acts of worship
408
The emperor of the Western Empire, Honorius, and the emperor of the
Eastern Empire, Arcadius, order together all the sculptures of the Pagan
temples to be either destroyed or to be taken away. Private ownership
of Pagan sculpture is also outlawed. The local bishops lead new heavy
persecutions against the Pagans and new book burning. The judges that
have pity for the Pagans are also persecuted. “Saint” Augustine
massacres hundreds of protesting Pagans in Calama, Algeria.
409 Another edict orders all methods of divination including astrology to be punished by death.
415
In Alexandria, Egypt, the Christian mob, urged by the bishop Cyrillus,
attacks a few days before the Judaeo-Christian Pascha (Easter) and cuts
to pieces the famous and beautiful philosopher Hypatia. The pieces of
her body, carried around by the Christian mob through the streets of
Alexandria, are finally burned together with her books in a place called
Cynaron. On 30th August, new persecutions start against all the Pagan
priests of North Africa who end their lives either crucified or burned
alive.
416 The inquisitor Hypatius, alias “The
Sword of God”, exterminates the last Pagans of Bithynia. In
Constantinople (7th December) all non-Christian army officers, public
employees and judges are dismissed.

a legal non-Christian religion.
438 Theodosius
II issues an new edict (31st January) against the Pagans, incriminating
their “idolatry” as the reason of a recent plague!
440 to 450 The Christians demolish all the monuments, altars and temples of Athens, Olympia, and other Greek cities.
448
Theodosius II orders all non-Christian books to be burned. All copies
of Julian’s work which could be found were destroyed, and they would
have been lost entirely if bishop Cyril of Alexandria (376-444 AD), had
not cited extracts from the first three of seven of Julian’s books in
his refutation of him, while admitting that he would not cite some of
his srguments!
450 All the temples of Aphrodisias
(the City of the Goddess Aphrodite) are demolished and all its
libraries burned down. The city is renamed Stavroupolis (City of the
Cross).
451 New edict by Theodosius II (4th November) emphasises that “idolatry” is punished by death.
457 to 491
Sporadic persecutions against the Pagans of the Eastern Empire. Among
others, the physician Jacobus and the philosopher Gessius are executed.
Severianus, Herestios, Zosimus, Isidorus and others are tortured and
imprisoned. The proselytiser Conon and his followers exterminate the
last non-Christians of Imbros Island, Norheast Aegean Sea. The last
worshippers of Lavranius Zeus are exterminated in Cyprus.
482 to 488 The majority of the Pagans of Minor Asia are exterminated after a desperate revolt against the emperor and the Church.
486 More “underground” Pagan priests are discovered, arrested, burlesqued, tortured and executed in Alexandria, Egypt.

massacre of the Pagans in the Arabian city Zoara and the demolition of
the temple of local god Theandrites.
528 Emperor
Jutprada (Justinianus) outlaws the “alternative” Olympian Games of
Antioch. He also orders the execution—by fire, crucifixion, tearing to
pieces by wild beasts or cutting to pieces by iron nails—of all who
practice “sorcery, divination, magic or idolatry” and prohibits all
teachings by the Pagans (“the ones suffering from the blasphemous
insanity of the Hellenes”).
529 Justinianus outlaws the Athenian Philosophical Academy and has its property confiscated.
532 The inquisitor Ioannis Asiacus, a fanatic monk, leads a crusade against the Pagans of Minor Asia.
542
Justinianus allows the inquisitor Ioannis Asiacus to convert the Pagans
of Phrygia, Caria and Lydia, Minor Asia. Within 35 years of this
crusade, 99 churches and 12 monasteries are built on the sites of
demolished Pagan temples.
546 Hundreds of Pagans are put to death in Constantinople by the inquisitor Ioannis Asiacus.

Eastern Empire, and exterminate the last non-Christians of Heliopolis
(Baalbek).
580 The Christian inquisitors attack a
secret temple of Zeus in Antioch. The priest commits suicide, but the
rest of the Pagans are arrested. All the prisoners, the Vice Governor
Anatolius included, are tortured and sent to Constantinople to face
trial. Sentenced to death they are thrown to the lions. The wild animals
being unwilling to tear them to pieces, they end up crucified. Their
dead bodies are dragged in the streets by the Christian mob and
afterwards thrown unburied in the dump.
583 New persecutions against the gentile Hellenes by the Mauricius.
590 In all the Eastern Empire the Christian accusers “discover” Pagan conspiracies. New storm of torture and executions.
692
The “Penthekto” Council of Constantinople prohibits the remains of
Calends, Brumalia, Anthesteria, and other Pagan/Dionysian celebrations.
804
The gentile Hellenes of Mesa Mani (Cape Tainaron, Lakonia, Greece)
resist successfully the attempt of Tarasius, Patriarch of
Constantinople, to convert them to Christianity.
950 to 988 Violent conversion of the last gentile Hellenes of Laconia by the Armenian “Saint” Nikon.
Yup Anthony DeStefano, it looks like it was you ChristoTaliban Roman Catholic butchers and murderers who were the bullies to the Pagans in your forced conversion program of them.
Now let’s give one example of what you ChristoFascist Taliban butchers and murderers and genocidal maniacs did to Native Americans shall we? Out of the literal hundreds of thousands I could give.
EXAMPLE TWO: THE SAND CREEK MASSACRE
It’s dawn, November 29, 1864.
The sun is barely peekaboo over the mountainous horizon in
southern Colorado Territory, sparkling across the chilly waters of
Big Sandy Creek.
In a tiny, tucked-away pocket of riverbed flatland, bands of
Arapaho and Southern Cheyenne are camped. In total, more than 400
American Indians are quietly preparing for the day.
Around the river bend, Col. John Milton Chivington, of the U.S.
Volunteers, is briefing nearly 1,000 heavily armed men for battle.
(Most are still drunk from anticipatory revelry the night before.)
They’ve marched nearly 50 midnight miles, and they’re ready to
fight.
What comes next will forever be remembered as one of the most
infamous and deadly incidents in all of the American Indian Wars.
Time of War
The American Indian Wars bridge more than 200 years of conflicts
between Native Americans and New World settlers, spanning across the
entirety of the United States, from the Powhatan Indian Attack in
1622, when Powhatan Indians retaliate against the encroaching
Virginia colonists, to the end of the Apache Wars in 1886, after
Geronimo surrenders in Arizona’s Skeleton Canyon.
But until the mid-1800s, most of these conflicts occur in the East
and South. The West is a no man’s land, filled with harsh
mountainous landscapes and cold nights. There is little need for
white settlers to venture westward, leaving the vast plains to the
American Indians who have called them home for centuries.
Then comes the California gold rush in 1849.
It is a time of rapid growth and expansion. Hundreds of thousands
of white settlers trek westward, dreaming of land, gold, and
prosperity. Mining and farming communities spring up.
And the effects on American Indians are considerable.
Pristine hunting grounds are destroyed. Game becomes scarce.
Waters are polluted. Smallpox, influenza, and measles spread in large
numbers. Fatality rates skyrocket to more than 75 percent.
In the years following the gold rush, tensions between Native
Americans and white settlers in the West escalate. Deadly skirmishes
become increasingly commonplace.
As the bloody Civil War begins in the East and South, the West
becomes filled with its own unique brand of war. The vacuum left by
departing U.S. Army troops, who are dispatched to fight the
Confederacy, is filled by U.S. Volunteers, state militias, and
renegade roughnecks. This proxy army takes its charge to protect the
remaining settlers to heart, ultimately exacting its own brand of
vengeance on the American Indians who dare to stand their ground,
believing even at the end that they have a chance at peace.
Place of Peace
Violent battles ensue for months. But bloodshed can only last so
long. After years of being out-manned, Arapaho and Southern Cheyenne
tribes are resigned to negotiate peace with federal authorities.
The Treaty of Fort Laramie in 1851 first defines Southern Cheyenne
and Arapaho territory as the lands between the Rocky Mountains and
western Kansas, including present-day Wyoming, Nebraska, and
Colorado.
Conflicts still arise, but the treaty stands for nearly a decade.
Still, by 1861 the westward expansion is marching on. America’s
rapid population growth in the West has federal authorities keen to
redefine Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho territories once again.
And with few options, the chiefs of both tribes agree to sign the
Treaty of Fort Wise, ceding most of the lands designated to them in
the Fort Laramie treaty. Their new territory is less than a tenth of
the size of their previous reserves.
In exchange for giving up the bulk of their native land, the
Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho are promised peaceful asylum in a
designated safe zone — near a tributary of the Arkansas River
called Big Sandy Creek.
But Col. John Milton Chivington doesn’t believe in peace
treaties.
Chivington’s Attack
The Methodist preacher turned Civil War hero is still raw after
spending years fighting Confederate flag-waving soldiers and
treaty-waving Indians. He’s tasted blood, and now he’s on the
warpath. With hundreds of unsuspecting American Indians just around
the corner, he’s found his perfect opportunity.
He stands to address his men, knowing full well that the Arapaho
and Southern Cheyenne pose no threat.
“Damn any man who sympathizes with Indians!” he says. “I have come to kill Indians, and believe it is right and honorable to use any means under God’s heaven to kill Indians.”
And then, for emphasis: “Kill and scalp all, big and little.”
He does just that. It’s a violent affair from the start.
As the chaos begins, the American Indians raise American and white
flags — symbols of peace. But Chivington ignores the plea,
instead raising his arm for attack.
Cannon and rifle fire rain down upon the village. Indians scatter.
The hysterical militiamen charge, chasing down men, women, and
children, killing them cruelly and without mercy.
The unrelenting attack lasts most of the day. The militia uses
more than 1 ton of ammunition.
But once the shooting ends, the bloodshed doesn’t cease. Chivington wants victory, not prisoners. So, as the smoke clears, his militia slaughters the wounded. They scalp the dead, mutilating women, children, and infants. They cut off the women’s breasts and cut out their vaginas. They stripped the skin off the children’s backs to cure as leather. They cut off the men’s and boy’s scrotum’s to use as tobacco pouches and to wear as trophies around their necks. They ransack the village, taking supplies and livestock. Whatever is left, they destroy and burn.
In all, Chivington’s men scalp, rape, and murder hundreds of
Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho people. Meanwhile, the militia loses
fewer than 10 men, mostly due to friendly fire and sloppiness.
According to Congressional testimony in 1865 by John S. Smith, an
American interpreter present at the time of the attack, the carnage
was ghastly.
“I saw the bodies of those lying there cut all to pieces, worse
mutilated than any I ever saw before; the women cut all to
pieces … . With knives; scalped; their brains knocked out;
children two or three months old; all ages lying there, from sucking
infants up to warriors … . By whom were they mutilated? By
the United States troops.”
The Aftermath
Just weeks later, an editorial in the Rocky Mountain News
notes, “In no single battle in North America, we believe, have so
many Indians been slain.” But to this day, the exact number of
slain Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho is still unknown. At the time,
Chivington claims as many as 600 were killed. Historians will say the
number is likely closer to 160, mostly women and children.
In the weeks immediately following the massacre, Chivington is
praised for his “heroic victory” at Sand Creek. He’s even
honored with a parade throughout the streets of Denver. The colonel
publicly displays his battle trophies in theaters and saloons.
But the merriment doesn’t last long. Soon, rumors of what really
happened begin to circulate. Several investigations are conducted,
including two by the military and one by the Joint Committee on the
Conduct of the War.
The latter panel concludes, “the truth is that [Chivington]
surprised and murdered, in cold blood, the unsuspecting men, women,
and children on Sand creek, who had every reason to believe they were
under the protection of the United States authorities, and then
returned to Denver and boasted of the brave deeds he and the men
under his command had performed.”
Despite the decision, no charges are brought against Chivington
and his men. Chivington resigns from the service in 1865, and public
humiliation ends his dreams of becoming a politician. Instead, he
lives out his life working as a freight hauler, editor, and deputy
sheriff until his death in 1894.
So here were a bunch of peaceful Natives and here were your punk assed BULLY Christians committing slaughter and atrocities against them.
EXAMPLE THREE: HITLER AND HIS NAZIS WERE CHRISTIANS AND THEIRS WAS A POSITIVE CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT.
Hitler said many times he was a Christian and doing his gods work.
Hitler’s religious beliefs and fanaticism
(Selected quotes from Mein Kampf) compiled by Jim Walker Originated: 28 Nov. 1996 Additions made: 07 July 2001
People often make the claim that Adolf Hitler adhered to
Atheism, Humanism or some ancient Nordic pagan mythology. None
of these fanciful and wrong ideas hold. Although one of Hitler’s
henchmen, Alfred Rosenberg, did undertake a campaign of Nordic
mythological propaganda, Hitler and most of his henchmen did
not believe in it .
Many American books, television documentaries, and Sunday
sermons that preach of Hitler’s “evil” have eliminated
Hitler’s god for their Christian audiences, but one only has
to read from his own writings to appreciate that Hitler’s God
equals the same God of the Christian Bible. Hitler held many
hysterical beliefs which not only include, God and Providence
but also Fate, Social Darwinism, and ideological politics. He
spoke, unashamedly, about God, fanaticism, idealism, dogma, and
the power of propaganda. Hitler held strong faith in all his
convictions. He justified his fight for the German people and
against Jews by using Godly and Biblical reasoning. Indeed, one
of his most revealing statements makes this quite clear:
“Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance
with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself
against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.”
Although Hitler did not practice religion in a churchly sense,
he certainly believed in the Bible’s God. Raised as Catholic
he went to a monastery school and, interestingly, walked everyday
past a stone arch which was carved the monastery’s coat of arms
which included a swastika. As a young boy, Hitler’s most ardent
goal was to become a priest. Much of his philosophy came from
the Bible, and more influentially, from the Christian Social
movement. (The German Christian Social movement, remarkably,
resembles the Christian Right movement in America today.) Many
have questioned Hitler’s stand on Christianity. Although he fought
against certain Catholic priests who opposed him for political
reasons, his belief in God and country never left him. Many Christians
throughout history have opposed Christian priests for various
reasons; this does not necessarily make one against one’s own
Christian beliefs. Nor did the Vatican’s Pope & bishops ever
disown him; in fact they blessed him! As evidence to his claimed
Christianity, he said:
“My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people.
–Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)
Hitler’s anti-Semitism grew out of his Christian education. Christian Austria
and Germany in his time took for granted the belief that Jews held an inferior
status to Aryan Christians. Jewish hatred did not spring from Hitler, it came
from the preaching of Catholic priests and Protestant ministers throughout
Germany for hundreds of years. The Protestant leader, Martin Luther, himself,
held a livid hatred for Jews and their Jewish religion. In his book, “On
the Jews and their Lies,” Luther set the standard for Jewish hatred
in Protestant Germany up until World War II. Hitler expressed a great admiration
for Martin Luther.
Hitler did not have to parade his belief in God, as so many
American Christians do now. Nor did he have to justify his Godly
belief against an Atheist movement. He took his beliefs for granted
just as most Germans did at that time. His thrust aimed at politics,
not religion. But through his political and religious reasoning
he established in 1933, a German Reich Christian Church, uniting
the Protestant churches to instill faith in a national German
Christianity.
Future generations should remember that Adolf Hitler could
not have come into power without the support of the Protestant
and Catholic churches and the German Christian populace.
The following quotes provides some of Hitler’s expressions
of his belief in religion, faith, fanaticism, Providence, and
even a few of his paraphrasing of the Bible. It by no means represents
the totality of Hitler’s concerns. To realize the full context
of these quotes, I implore the reader to study Mein Kampf.
The purpose of this text intends to dispute the claims made
by Christians that Hitler “was an atheist,” or “anti-religious,”
and to reveal the dangers of belief-systems. This text in no
way attempts to give endorsement to anti-Semitism.
The Christianity of Hitler revealed in his speeches and proclamations
Through subterfuge and concealment, many of today’s Church leaders and faithful Christians have camouflaged the Christianity of Adolf Hitler and have attempted to mark him an atheist, a pagan cult worshipper, or a false Christian. However, from the earliest formation of the Nazi party and throughout the period of conquest and growth, Hitler expressed his Christian support to the German citizenry and soldiers. In the 1920s, Hitler’s German Workers’ Party (pre Nazi term) adopted a “Programme” with twenty-five points (the Nazi version of a constitution). In point twenty-four, their intent clearly demonstrates, from the very beginning, their stand in favor of a “positive” Christianity:
24. We demand liberty for all religious denominations in the State, so far as they are not a danger to it and do not militate against the morality and moral sense of the German race. The Party, as such, stands for positive Christianity, but does not bind itself in the matter of creed to any particular confession. It combats the Jewish-materialist spirit within and without us, and is convinced that our nation can achieve permanent health from within only on the principle: the common interest before self-interest.
Hitler’s speeches and proclamations, even more clearly, reveal his faith
and feelings toward a Christianized Germany. Nazism presents an embarrassment
to Christianity and demonstrates the danger of faith. The following words
from Hitler show his disdain for atheism, and pagan cults, and reveals the
strength of his Christian feelings:
My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It
points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers,
recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them
and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless
love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how
the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the
Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world
against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion
I recognize more profoundly than ever before in the fact that it was for this
that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty
to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth
and justice…. And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are
acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have
also a duty to my own people…. When I go out in the morning and see these
men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe
I would be no Christian, but a very devil if I felt no pity for them, if I did
not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom to-day
this poor people is plundered and exploited.
-Adolf Hitler, in his speech in Munich on 12 April 1922
Point Two: You are a Roman Catholic Scumbag who has no right to judge others and who was endorsed by one of the USA’s head pedophile pimps Cardinal Timothy Dolan.
Hundreds of thousands of children have been raped by Roman Catholic priests. Those pedophile scum were protected by your Popes, Cardinals, Bishops and Archbishops like Pope Francis, Cardinals Timothy Dolan and others, who moved these scum fucks from parish to parish, across state lines and international borders to avoid detection, arrest and prosecution. Who did all they could to protect their pedophiles over the hundreds of thousands of children raped and tortured and brutalized by them.
Hundreds of thousands more have been tortured, enslaved, beaten and brutalized, and outright murdered in the Roman Catholic Institutions of the Magdalene and Good Shepherd Laundries, the Women’s and Children’s Homes and the Industrial Homes and Schools.
You, Anthony DeStefano support and defend the WorldWide Cult of Pedophile Pimps, Pedophile Priests and Nuns, and Enslavers, Murderers and Destroyers of Children and you, along with all of your fellow Roman Catholics? Should be put to fucking brutal deaths for it. Starting with the Rat Torture, then? Progressing through the Pope’s Pear, then the Judas Chair and finally? Draw and Quarter you motherfuckers, cut your fucking heads off and put them on pikes in front of the Vatican with the warning this is what we do to scumbags who rape children, protect those who rape children or defend those who rape children.
Scumbag Head Pedophile Pimp of the USA…Cardinal Timothy Dolan who should be put to a very slow, suffering death.
Point Three: Here are just some of the blogs that exposes your Unholy Roman Catholic Cult of Pedophile Pimps, Pedophiles, Child Abusers, Child Enslavers and Child Murderers.
Voices from the Grave: Suicide Victims of the Roman Catholic Church.
A blog that exposes just some of the estimated over 3,000 suicides of victims of Roman Catholic Pedophiles.
A blog of five years worth of exposing the pedophile pimps and pedophiles, the child enslavers and child murderers of the Unholy Roman Catholic Cult of Pedophiles.
Here is just one story from this blog about what happened to the boys at the Artane Industrial School.
BROTHERS FROM HELL; 10 former Artane Boys Tell of Broken Legs, Torture and Sex Abuse.
The Mirror (UK) September 23, 1999
TODAY 10 former Artane boys tell JILLY BEATTIE their stories of life at the notorious Industrial School.
Six of them have made allegations to the Gardai as part of Ireland’s
biggest child abuse investigation in which 40 Christian Brothers
Christian Brothers: see John Baptist de la Salle, Saint. have been named
and accused. The other four intend to do the same.
They all say their lives have been destroyed by their experiences
under the guardianship of the Brothers at Artane, citing relationship
breakdowns, unemployment and clinical depression as some of the problems
they have had.
Two of the survivors never married, the marriages of seven broke down and one is still married.
Of the eight who did marry, only two told their wives about the abuse
they suffered, and none of their children knows about their past life
in Artane.
All the fathers say they have difficult relationships with their children.
Four have tried to commit suicide, four are long-term unemployed and all 10 are currently receiving counselling.
These survivors are among 250 men seeking justice for the sexual,
physical and emotional abuse they claim they suffered at Artane at the
hands of Christian Brothers.
GERRY 1966-69
In care from eight months after being conceived outside marriage
I WAS beaten and raped by nine different Brothers.
Joseph O’Connor dragged me to his room and he threw sweets on the
floor. When I bent to pick them up he pulled my trousers down and
thrashed me with the leather cosh.
I squealed and screamed and he kept on hitting me, all over my body and head. I suppose he stopped hitting me when I passed out.
My mother came to see me during that time and she was told I was being treated for TB and couldn’t be seen.
I still wake up screaming in the night, convinced a Brother is trying to get me, trying to drag me away.
The Christian Brothers have to pay for what they did to us as boys.
They have apologised to anyone who was hurt while at Artane but that’s not enough to let me get on with my life.
MALACHY 1965-69
Sent to Atane with his brother for mitching school
THE day Artane burned down I thanked God. I prayed that all the
Brothers who hurt me had died but most of those b*****ds are still
alive.
I suffered all sorts of abuse. Most of it I still cannot talk about.
They raped me, they beat me, they humiliated me.
Sometimes when you turned up they would be abusing some other boy and you would have to watch or join in.
We were made to crawl on our hands and knees while the other boys
were forced to hit you. If they didn’t hit you, they had to get down and
start crawling too.
Artane was a concentration camp. Anything we arrived with was taken
away from us – clothes, shoes, love, good memories, happiness and trust.
JOHN 1958-61
Sent to Atane for the theft of an overcoat
I WAS a tearaway as a child and eventually the Guards got sick of hauling me up and I was put into Artane.
I ran away three times after being beaten but the Guards brought me back.
After the first time I was beaten around the dormitory. I had my two front teeth knocked out and my wrist was broken.
Then I had to sit in agony as the barber – one of the boys – shaved my head for running away.
Anyone found talking to me was beaten.
I know there were boys raped and interfered with in Artane, but I never was.
The Brothers picked their victims well and chose the most vulnerable.
When I was older they used me to abuse the younger boys. They made me a monitor and I used to beat the boys too.
The Brothers were evil. They enjoyed the violence they meted out. Their favourite weapons were fear and the leather strap.
AIDAN 1966-69
Sent to Artane for mitching school
I WAS always a quiet child and was labelled stupid because I had dyslexia
I used to mitch school because I was teased. Then I was sent to Artane.
It was the worst thing anyone could have done to me. I was the
perfect victim of the abuse the Brothers favoured. I spoke to no-one.
I was raped three months after I was moved to Artane and used by
three particular Brothers, one of whom, Brother O’Connor, is dead.
I was like a rag doll. They threw me about the place. I was b*****ed,
forced to touch the Brothers, masturbate them and have oral sex.
When I was sick I was beaten and kicked. The sexual abuse was
indescribable, but it was worse when it was coupled with physical abuse.
I ended up in the infirmary seven times during my three years there.
My wife knows – but I still find it hard to hug and love her. No-one deserved what we got.
DECLAN 1965-69
In care from three years after mother deemed unfit unfit to look after him
I HAD no-one to turn to when I needed to get away from Artane. I was
put in there because the authorities said my mother couldn’t look after
me and my brothers.
I was b*****ed 18 times in Artane and beaten probably every day I was there.
In the summer when some of the other boys had gone to foster
families, I was left with the others and that’s when I suffered most
abuse.
One night I was made to strip before I was hit and a Brother stood on
my hands so I couldn’t move. The beating was started by one Brother and
finished by another.
O’Connor was a depraved de·praved b*****d. He was at Artane from 1930
and he did everything he could to inflict as much pain as he could on
the boys.
He ran the band and even appeared on an RTE programme dedicated to
his so-called good work. That bastard sat and smiled his way through it.
I dread to think how many boys’ lives he ruined. He destroyed me.
Your cunt nuns thought so little of these infants they murdered? They dropped their bodies into a fucking septic tank.
ADRIAN 1965-69
Sent to Atane with his brother for mitching school
I HAD both my arms broken by a Brother.
I still don’t know Don’t know what I did wrong but I was told not to be bold or I would suffer for it.
Then he lashed into me, I was 11. He hit me with the leather strap, then he started punching and kicking me.
I fell to the floor and he kicked me with his boots. I stopped
screaming and he kept hitting me for a bit. Then he told me to pray for
forgiveness.
He told me I was bad and would have to ask Jesus to stop me being bad. Two boys took me to the infirmary.
On the way another Brother said I should never be bold because God can see everything. I was terrified
If the Brothers did this to me, what would God do?
JOE 1951-56
Put in care after the death of his mother and suicide of his father
I WAS separated from my brothers and sisters and sent to Artane.
Joseph O’Connor met me at Connolly Station and pushed me into a car.
He ran the band and when I said I’d never been interested in music he
stopped the car, dragged me out and thrashed me.
When I arrived at the school it was four days before Christmas. One
of the boys in my dormitory told me we would be safe for the day. I
later realised this meant that we were less likely to be sexually abused
on December 25.
Joe Boy O’Connor was an evil bastard. He never raped me but he beat
me until I fainted one day. When I woke up I was in the infirmary.
One day I was flogged by another Brother and made to wear a singlet
which had been soaked in salt water. I believe it was to literally add
salt to my wounds and make it more painful for me.
DESMOND 1964-66
Sent to Artane for mitching school
MY earliest sex education was being forced to watch two younger boys masturbating a Christian Brother.
Then I was forced to beat them before I was fondled by the same Brother.
This happened for five nights with 10 different boys and me looking on every time.
I was never b*****ed but I know two boys who were. I was made to give a number of the Brothers oral sex.
Today I am a gay man but I’ve had problems forming relationships. I
still wonder, if my first sexual experiences had been with a woman,
would my life have been different.
I think the Brothers at Artane were gay and used the boys for their sexual desires.
We were abused. There’s no excuse for what they did. They violated us – continually.
The beatings were incredible. And the shaming was awful.
EAMONN 1965-68
In care from 10 after mother died
I ended up at Artane after my mother died. I was heartbroken but sure the Brothers would understand and look after me.
I had a terrible shock. The first time I was caught crying on my second night I was beaten by the Brother in charge.
I wet myself and was beaten more. I cried and had my head pushed into
a drawer and was thrashed from behind. He only stopped beating me when I
couldn’t cry any more.
We were constantly told we were worthless.
I grew up quickly and realised that the beatings and the sexual abuse
would not stop until the day I walked out of the doors forever.
I ran away twice and was brought back by the Guards. The first time I
was beaten and had my head shaved. The second time it was worse.
I was told I was an ungrateful, worthless little b*****d. I was told I
had no-one who loved me and that I would learn to appreciate the care
the Brothers showed me. Then I was beaten again.
DONACHA 1966-69
In care from six years after mother deemed a violent alcoholic
I HAD suffered violence from my mother and father at home and was
glad to get out of the house to be looked after by the Brothers in
Artane.
I’d heard they were tough but I thought it had to be better than at home. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
I was first raped when I was 12 and I lost count of the times it
happened again. Every day was spent trying to avoid being hit, but it
was useless.
There was the odd decent enough Brother who tried to keep me from
trouble but I’ve since been told the ones I thought were OK were
b*****ds to some of the other boys. Maybe they just liked me.
Boys were dragged from their beds at night, we were beaten in full
view of other staff and boys and we were sexually abused in front of
other boys too.
The Abuse Tracker blog by Kathy Shaw of Bishops Accountability.
BishopAccountability.org has identified around 70 Catholic bishops worldwide accused publicly of sexual crimes against children and more than 30 bishops worldwide who have been accused publicly of sexual wrongdoing against adults. Those marked in red allegedly abused minors; those in black are publicly accused of sexual abuse/sexual misconduct with adults only.
Until the 2018 revelations of alleged child sexual abuse by former cardinal Theodore McCarrick, the problem of bishops and major superiors who abuse had received little scrutiny. Yet a sexually abusive bishop or superior is exceptionally dangerous. His management of priests is skewed toward protecting his secret, beginning with the character of men he accepts to the seminary and the quality of their formation. When one of his priests is accused of sexual abuse, a bishop who is also an offender is unlikely to punish the priest or contact law enforcement. He is, inevitably, an enabler of other sexual criminals, harming not only his own victims, but those who are raped or assaulted by the abusive clerics to whom he gives safe harbor.
In the Catholic church, “sexual corruption is conferred from the top down – from men in power,” wrote
celibacy scholar Richard Sipe. Bishops who sexually abuse seminarians,
as McCarrick is canonically convicted of doing, and as Bishop Anthony
J. O’Connell admitted doing, may establish what Sipe called “a genealogy of abuse,” setting up “a pattern of institutional secrecy.”
Despite the extensive harm done by abusive church leaders, few
have been severely disciplined. Only seven have been laicized: Fernando
Armindo Lugo Méndez of Paraguay (2008), Raymond J. Lahey of Canada (2012), Gabino Miranda Melgarejo of Peru (2013), Jósef Wesołowski of Poland (2014), Francisco José Cox Huneeus of Chile (2018), Marco Antonio Órdenes Fernández of Chile (2018), and Theodore McCarrick of the United States (2019).
All of the remaining bishops named below, even those found
guilty under canon law, have been allowed to retain the title of bishop
and to be called emeritus, a status that confers continued prestige and
power. According to a 2008 document by
the Congregation for Bishops, when a bishop becomes emeritus, he merely
is beginning ‘a new phase of his ministry.’ Though relieved of
administrative duties, he retains his membership in the college of
bishops and continues to ‘collaborate in the governance of the church.’
Point Four: Your current Head Pedophile Pimp Pope Francis should be dragged out of the Vatican, put on his knees and a bullet put in the back of his head for allowing all these deaf/mute children to be raped and brutalized at the Antonio Provolo Institute in Argentina. But you can read what I have already said should be done to this scumbag here.
We strip your Pedophile Pimps like Pope Francis and Cardinal Timothy Dolan. We bind them to a table. We place a starving rat on their junk, a cage over the rat and a bowl of hot coals over the cage and we let the rat eat their junk. They will never fucking rape another child again.Then Anthony DeStefano? We take a Popes Pear and fill it full of hot coals and shove this up the asses of all your Pedophile Pimps and Pedophiles of your degenerate cult of pedophiles and see how they love having their assholes brutally raped like they did to us as children.Next up Anthony DeStefano is the Judas Chair torture for you Roman Catholics, for being Judases to all of us as children your cult raped, tortured, enslaved, beat, brutalized, and murdered.
