600 children sexually abused by 150 Catholic church priests over 80 years in Maryland (USA) !

All these years, Church covered up these incidents !

A report by Attorney General Brian Frosh 

Maryland (USA) – More than 600 children were sexually abused in the Catholic church in the US State of Maryland since 1940. About 150 church priests were among the exploiters, according to the 463-page report prepared in this regard. This report was prepared following 4 years of investigation. After almost 80 years, this thing came to light. All these years, these incidents were covered up by the church.

1. The identity of the accused priests has been disclosed in this report. In the year 2019, Attorney General Brian Frosh launched an investigation into these incidents. He prepared this report after talking to hundreds of victims and reviewing over 1 lakh pages of documents. The report was made public after obtaining judicial permission.

2. The children who were exploited belonged to low-income families. They were also threatened not to talk about this to anyone.

3. Following the release of the report, William Lori, the Archbishop (a bishop of higher rank or office) of Baltimore, has apologised to the child victims. “This is the most tragic event in the history of the Catholic Churches, which cannot be ignored or forgotten. Those who commit such acts will be punished by a higher authority in the church,” Lori said. (What’s the use of just asking for forgiveness ? The lustful priests who are responsible must be punished ! – Editor)

4. Earlier in the US State of Illinois, almost 700 church priests were accused of sexually abusing children. The Attorney-General of Illinois mentioned these incidents in his report.

Editorial Viewpoints

  • Please note that not a single lustful priest has been booked in such incidents ! It is precisely because of the church’s law that lustful priests can save themselves from punishment. They are abusing this law. Hence, there is a need to modify this law !
  • Atheists, progressives, Women’s Organisations, Human Rights activists never talk about such incidents in India.
