'No desire for truth' in Spain Catholic church over child sex abuse

Unlike in other countries where child sex scandals have forced the Catholic Church towards accountability, the Spanish church has avoided investigating alleged abuses by its clergy to the fury of victims.

In recent decades, thousands have spoken out about harrowing abuses by clergy across the United States, Europe, Australia and beyond, prompting Church probes in many nations seeking redress for the victims.

In France alone, a study commissioned by the French Catholic Church found last month its clergy had abused some 216,000 minors since 1950.

But in Spain, there are no official statistics on child sex abuse.

The Church says it has counted just 220 cases since 2001, and has ruled out "actively" investigating any such allegations.

"The case of the Church in Spain is... shameful," says Spanish tour guide Fernando Garcia Salmones, who was abused as a teenager at a school run by Roman Catholic priests in Madrid.

The truth about the Catholic Church

If you think that on Judgement Day you can blame the priests or ministers , or say that you are sorry, at the last minute, and be forgiven, you are only deceiving yourself (Matthew 25:10-13 and Luke 13:23-29). God is not stupid and knows exactly what you are thinking. It will NOT work. You alone are responsible , for your own life; deeds; words and even your thoughts, just like everyone else.

Anyone who now decides to continue to gamble their life and immortality, and lose it, on the Vatican's "house of cards ", which is built on nothing but lies and deceit, will be being foolish in the EXTREME .

DON'T do it! "Come out of her My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not [a share] of her plagues (punishment)." Revelation 18:4.

Catholic Church in Spain faces major abuse investigation - El Pais newspaper

image]

Spain's Catholic Church is to open an investigation into alleged sex abuse of hundreds of children by members of the clergy dating back 80 years that the newspaper El Pais has uncovered, the daily said on Sunday.

The investigation will look into allegations of abuse against 251 priests and some lay people from religious institutions that the paper has uncovered, El Pais said.

The paper has not published in full its findings from a three-year investigation it conducted into the issue, but said its correspondent gave a 385-page dossier to Pope Francis on Dec. 2 while the papal entourage and journalists were flying from Rome to Cyprus.

The number of victims is at least 1,237 but could rise into the thousands, the paper said. The allegations concern 31 religious orders and 31 of the country's some 70 dioceses. The oldest case dates back to 1942 and the most recent to 2018.

The investigation will be carried out by the Spanish Bishops Conference, which is headed by Cardinal Juan Jose Omella, the archbishop of Barcelona, according to El Pais.

Officials from the bishops conference were not available for comment on Sunday.

Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said in a statement that the pope received the documentation and passed it on to the "competent bodies so it could proceed according to current Church law".

This was an apparent reference to the Spanish Bishops Conference and to the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which investigates sexual abuse.

Under current Church law the Spanish bishops would have to inform civil authorities about suspected cases of abuse.

In November Pope Francis, who has met with dozens of victims of abuse, thanked journalists for helping to uncover clerical sexual abuse scandals.

Spain's Catholic Dioceses to Collect Abuse Allegations After Talks With Pope

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/spains-catholic-dioceses-to-collect-abuse-allegations-after-talks-with-pope/ar-AASMUqn

Spain's Catholic Church is to set up local commissions to hear complaints from victims of abuse after holding talks with Pope Francis on Friday about allegations over eight decades detailed in a Spanish newspaper.

El Pais in December published the results of a three-year investigation it said uncovered potential abuse by 251 priests and some lay people from religious institutions against at least 1,237 victims between 1943 and 2018.

Sexual abuse scandals in the global Catholic Church first hit the headlines in 2002, when U.S. daily the Boston Globe wrote a series of articles exposing a abuse of minors by clerics and a widespread culture of concealment within the Church.

Last June, the pope said the Catholic Church's sexual abuse crisis was a worldwide "catastrophe".

How many people think this is to try to control the investigation?

Spain’s government vows to investigate Catholic Church abuse

Spain’s ruling coalition wants for historic clerical sexual abuses to be investigated in the country, and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has said he will first meet with abuse victims.

“We’re going to talk and build,” said the head of the coalition government that rules Spain. “The human dimension of this problem is important.”

Three left-wing parties – Unidas Podemos, ERC and EH Bildu – presented a petition for the creation of a commission in Spain’s Congress to launch an investigation into the sexual abuses of minors committed within the Catholic Church.

The three parties presented the petition on Thursday, after calling these “abominable events” and saying that they consider the efforts carried out thus far by the Spanish Bishops’ Conference to be insufficient.

The commission would be a significant step for Spain, where abuse allegations are only now gaining traction years after similar scandals rocked the United States, Ireland and France.

While the vote does not automatically guarantee the commission's formation, as it still requires formal backing from the government, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez welcomed the inquiry in a Twitter post.

Mathew

6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt NOT be as the hypocrites [ARE]: for they love to pray standing in the churches and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward (they have been seen by men, but God will not answer them).

6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and WHEN THOU HAST SHUT THY DOOR, pray to thy Father in private (Enoch 56:5; Sura 7:55); and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly (by answering you).

9:79 Your “so-called” christian priests have mis-interpreted the whole thing, and twisted it, and used
it as a license, to commit all the abominations of the Earth (Rev. 17), supposedly with my blessing,
even though I told sinners to, “GO AND SIN NO MORE” (John 8:11).
9:80 I also said that I had come, not to destroy The Law, but to fulfill (fully preach) it, and that The
Law would not change AT ALL, until the end of time (Matt. 5:17-20)(Malachi 4:4-6).
9:81 Stay away from priests, and follow MY teachings. How many times do I have to tell you?
9:82 If a church is really the house of God, then no-one has the right to put a lock on the door, never
mind lock-it. You should not go to church (Matt. 6:5-6), go into your closet or bathroom, or
anywhere private, and speak to God in thoughts (telepathy), and He will answer you by telepathy,
with your “good” voice, but not words.
9:83 Learn the new language (to you) — telepathy. Stop giving money to the church, or hoarding it.
Use it to do good in the world, and fight evil with it, YOURSELF, and keep only what you
REALLY need. Hoarding money shows a lack of faith in God, and that He will supply all your
needs, both spiritual and physical.
9:84 The Roman Catholic church is probably the richest organization in the world, in money; land;
property; shares and jewels. How can they represent God, when they are obscenely rich, and there
are millions of people starving to death? Jesus had nothing except his clothes, and taught the sharing
of everything, so that there would be no poor, or crime.
9:85 How can the religions be working for God, when they are teaching the hoarding of gold and
money (serving mammon)? Isn’t it obvious that they are working for the devil? They are hypocrites,
just like the scribes (lawyers) and Pharisees (politicians), and they devour widows’ houses and say
long prayers, for a pretence (Matt. 23:14). They wear silly clothes and revel in salutes in the streets.
2000 years and NOTHING has changed. How can someone who is a fellow prisoner and bad, and
who is blind to the truth, teach you how to be good? God is the ONLY one who can teach you.
Open your eyes! (Isaiah 42:16-25)
9:86 The catholic priests told soldiers to murder in God’s name, when God Himself says that you
must not murder (10 COMMANDments). They are not the only priests to do that, as you well know.
How can they represent God?
9:87 All the priests throughout history have been conned by Satan, and have actually been working
for him, NOT for God.

9:88 Once the devil had created christianity, he then divided it, into lots of different sects, to make it
even more efficient, at dividing and deceiving the world, into believing that organized-religions
belong to God, just because they use and abuse His name (Rev. 12:9).
9:89 Jesus taught charity; and the hoarding of NOTHING material; and giving to the poor; so what
excuse can a Christian church have, for hoarding material treasures? They should be setting a good
example, by DEEDS NOT WORDS, instead of which they are setting a bad example, teaching by
their example, the hoarding of worldly treasures.

[Christ will DESTROY THE CHURCH](Christ will DESTROY THE CHURCH | Time To Think)

3 Mar

The Roman Catholic Church will not only be destroyed for its high treason against God, but the Protestant Church will also meet its end for playing the Whore’s harlot daughter. Christ said not to build or pray in churches, and encouraged a one-on-one relationship with God instead. He left the Holy Spirit, giving everyone the ability to communicate with Father as He did, telepathically. But for some insane reason, man decided to create all kinds of churches and come up with all kinds of non-biblical doctrine, taking another bite of the forbidden apple, because Satan convinces him he knows best.

Why would Christ warn us? For one, He knows Satan’s tactics a whole lot better than we do. In creating the churches, instead of simply following God’s Law and communicating directly with Him, we gave Satan an “in” to control us through our beliefs in Christ. While it is known that atheist-Marxists have infiltrated our governments through their “socialist” agenda to take down Christian nations; and it’s known that counterfeit-Jews and Marxists infiltrated the Vatican; it’s not quite so known that they have infiltrated the other churches as well through the National Council of Churches (NCC). Now, a few well-appointed Anti-God communist council-members make decisions on behalf of 45 million church members, which they’ve done for years, including spending donations to fund communist’s activities. All the while, church members associated with the NCC think they are funding humanitarian projects and feel good about themselves, unaware they fund lobbying efforts and support for the satanic United Nations. The NCC has a resolution which states that the United States will soon have to subordinate its will to that of the UN and that all American citizens must be prepared to accept it. God is never mentioned in the UN Charter and their meetings are never opened with prayer.

If your church is a member of the NCC, you are now currently funding and supporting its agenda of gun control and immigration reform. [Those supposed fake tweets from the president to rally support for gun control probably were NCC generated… keep reading.] The NCC was instrumental in the actual creation of the satanic United Nations, which forbids any allegiance to God, and is part of the New World Order, which works toward one government and one religion. The creators of the UN stipulated in advance that there should be no mention of God or Jesus Christ in the UN Charter, or in its headquarters. Well, these communists don’t want religion like you may think. In their interdenominational approach to unification of world religions, they plan to put Christ to death once and for all. That’s their plan. God has a different plan as outlined in the Bible. It might be best to read the King of kings’ version, instead of the versions owned by the NCC.

By taking out child molesters are these inmate acting out God's Perfect LAW??? Think about it.

Genesis 18:20-33 And the "I AM" said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
18:21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto Me; and if not, I will know.
18:22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the "I AM".
18:23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt Thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
18:24 Perhaps there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt Thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that [are] therein?
18:25 That be far from Thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from Thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
18:26 And the "I AM" said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
18:27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which [am but] dust and ashes:
18:28 Perhaps there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt Thou destroy all the city for [lack of] five? And He said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy [it].
18:29 And he spoke unto Him yet again, and said, Perhaps there shall be forty found there. And He said, I will not do [it] for forty's sake.
18:30 And he said [unto Him], Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Perhaps there shall thirty be found there. And He said, I will not do [it], if I find thirty there.
18:31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Perhaps there shall be twenty found there. And He said, I will not destroy [it] for twenty's sake.
18:32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Perhaps ten shall be found there. And He said, I will not destroy [it] for ten's sake.
18:33 And the "I AM" went His way, as soon as He had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

Mathew 18:1-6 BAt the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in The Kingdom of heaven?
18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and [then] become as little children, ye shall NOT enter into The Kingdom of heaven.
18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in The Kingdom of heaven.
18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Galatians 5:16[This] I say then, Walk as the Spirit (Being), and fulfill not the lust of the flesh (human).
5:17 For the flesh (human) lusteth against the Spirit (Being), and the Spirit (Being) against the flesh (human): and these are opposed the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

1 John 2:16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not from the Father, but is of the world.

Hebrews 13:4 Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

2 Peter 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

Titus 2:11 For the Grace of God that bringeth salvation to all men, hath appeared,
2:12 Teaching us that, denying unGodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and Godly, in this present world;

Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the Earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil lust, and covetousness, which (covetousness) is idolatry:

Ephesians 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

1 Corinthians 6:9-13 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit The Kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind (sodomites/homosexuals),
6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit The Kingdom of God.
6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
6:13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

1 Corinthians 7:1-2 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.
7:2 Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

Romans 6:12-13 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
6:13 Neither yield ye your members [as] instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness unto God.

Judges 19:22 [Now] as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, [and] beat at the door, and spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him (sexually).
19:23 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, [nay], I pray you, do not [so] wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.

Solomon 10:13-14 When the righteous (Joseph) was sold, she forsook him not, but delivered him from sin: she went down with him into the pit (Sura 12),
10:14. And left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she showed them to be liars, and gave him perpetual glory.

All Glory be to God in the Highest and to His Son Christ Jesus forever more!

Spain's report on Catholic Church sex abuse estimates victims could number in hundreds of thousands

image

The survey was part of a damning report by the office of Spain's ombudsman, or "defensor del pueblo," following an 18-month independent investigation of 487 cases involving alleged victims who spoke with the ombudsman’s team.

Ombudsman Ángel Gabilondo criticized the church's response to sex abuse scandals, saying it had often been to minimize if not deny the problem. He presented the nearly 800-page report to the speaker of the Spanish parliament’s lower house Oct. 27 and then to reporters.

Rev. 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT of her, MY people, that ye take not part in her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues (punishment).
