Title: Priestly abuse in the Philippines
Post by: Klaus Weasley on Jan 27, 2016 at 04:11 PM
The Catholic Church is a powerful force in the Philippines. Apart from the occasional "scandal" of a priest impregnating a woman here and there, I hear nothing of a priest molesting a child here. Imposible naman na totally wala. Ang dami-daming simbahan dito. Meron yata yun. I just want to know if you know of anyone who's been molested/raped/abused by a priest but was kept a secret by the Church.

I've heard no news of priests getting arrested for molesting/abusing children in the Philippines. Please do point it out to me if I'm overlooking anything.

yup di naman bago yan. I've heard, watched, and read alot of stories of pedophile priests here. Problem is, no one would dare prosecute a Catholic priest here dahil ang una nilang babanggain diyan ay ang CBCP which is the number one protector of these pedophiles. Magaling silang mag-cover up. I doubt politicians would also dare to go against them. Why? kailangan ng mga politician ang basbas ng CBCP. Tignan niyo na lang si Duterte. Babangga bangga kuno pero tiklop din naman. Secularism here is nothing but ink on paper.

A 2004 report by the non-government group Catholics for Free Choice and Likhaan stated that no priest accused of sexual abuse in the Philippines has been successfully prosecuted.

Most of the clergy accused of sexual abuse settled cases out of court, were acquitted, or moved to other parishes by their bishops. There were also priests with pending court cases who were quietly reinstated to pastoral duties, the report said.

Classic Catholic Church cover up. That's also how they do it on other countries.

The government treats a supposedly civil case as a criminal case (libel) then treats a criminal case as a civil case (Catholic pedophile priests).

Bakit nga ba panay Katolikong simbahan pinupuntirya mo. Lumalabas niyan galit ka eh. Ganun din ibang tao simabahang Katoliko rin laging pinupuntirya. Eh kung ikaw na lang puntiryahin ng ibang tao at kakalkalin mga kalokohan mo palagay ko may makikita kami. Hindi ka na puwedeng magmalinis o hindi kaya hindi ka na puwedeng magsabi ng masamang damo ka kasi baka masamang masamang damo ka talaga.

Pakiusap lang huwag kang pumuntirya ng iba at baka ikaw din mapuntiryahang balang araw. At sa aking palagay hindi mo magugustuhan.

@Klaus, kung wala ka rin magagawang kabutihan mabuti pang manood ka na lang ng sangkatutak na pelikula at sabihin sa amin kung anu ano ang pananaw mo.

Imbes na tumira ka bakit hindi mo bigyang pugay mga ginagawang kabutihan ng Katolikong simbahan. Bakit ba hindi ka marunong magmahal o magbigay ng tulong sa mga nangangailangan? Bakit ba laging tira? May kasabihan nga ng kung sino madalas magsumbong siya rin ang may sala. Samakatuwid ginagawa mo rin ito pero gusto mong ikubli ang ginawa mo sa pagpuntirya ng iba.

The Catholic Church is very powerful organization in the Philippines who takes it upon themselves to impose moral authority over people. OF COURSE, it needs to be criticized and taken down AS MUCH AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE because I do believe they're every bit as corrupt as our government. The fact that they have so much sway in our political system is one of the reasons hindi tayo nakakaunlad as a nation.

Rizal has warned us of Padre Damaso's and Padre Salvi's. We still have not learned that lesson.

(NOTE: Before you say anything else, no, I was never molested by a priest.)

So that would mean the thread really is about the organization.  Why title the thread Priestly abuse then if in the last post.... there was no mention of a case of priestly abuse whatsoever?  Then change the title CATHOLIC CHURCH ABUSES.

I never made it personal. The fact is Klaus always attacks the Catholic Church. Never heard a good thing from him. I clearly stated that in my responses. Why can't things be putting the Catholic Church and the priests who deliver the mass to the people in better light? Why the need to always criticize?

For me he is being very personal so might as well go with the flow.

Yes. I have no doubt that there are priests, rabbis, ministers, imams, etc. who are also pedophiles but I do think what makes the Catholic priest pedophile scandal worse is that the Pope and the Vatican, instead of removing the priest from duty and surrendering him to the authorities, they send him to "counseling", they pay off the kids and parents for their silence and, stupidly believing that he's "cured", move him around parishes, allowing that priest to molest/rape even MORE children.

For the Catholic Church to do that and then turn around and tell people how it's a sin to use a condom, to have premarital sex, to be gay, to masturbate, etc. is complete and utter hypocrisy. Nagmamalinis sila at naghuhusga sila sa sex lives ng iba at sila nagapapayag sila ma-rape ang mga bata. Mga demonyo. They lost any right to a moral high ground in my eyes.

Up until now, marami pa rin nahahalungkat na scandal sa simbahan abroad. Ano kaya mahahalungkat dito sa Pinas? Madami siguro kasi maraming deboto dito. Mahirap pa. Siguro mas maraming mauuto, mababayaran o di kaya tatakutin na pupunta sila sa impiyerno kung hindi nila i-forgive si Father sa pag-rape ng anak nila.

rascal, you are very defensive of the Church. I understand. But you, the devout Catholic, should hold your Church the MOST accountable for these crimes. The Church is still ran by men (oh, there's another issue I have with the Church which would entail a whole new thread), men who can be sinners, men who can be short-sighted, men who can do stupid things and men who can be utter hypocrites.

I am no more devout than the typical Catholic. However, I find it disheartening that you put undue emphasis on the Catholic church. Do you have nothing better to do? If such priests have done sin against then they should be tried in court and proper judgment be rendered. End of story.

The question is why the need to highlight. You are going in circles. You've mentioned this in another thread and here you are again harping. Guess it must be you have nothing better to do.

Parang sinasabi eh naku may pari mangmomolestya ng bata. Sigurado iyun sa hinaharap at sa dahil sa dami ng Katoliko mangyayari at mangyayari iyun.

Kung sa kasalukuyan nangyayari nga ito eh dapat isumbong sa mga pulis para maparusahan mga ito. Pero kung haka haka lang eh buti pa tahimik lang.

Puwede ko rin naman sabihin eh dahil nabubuhay pa si xxx palagay ko gagawa at gagawa ng kalokohan. Sigurado iyun. Masamang tao siya kasi nga tatahakin niya iyun sa hinaharap.

Kultura na natin e.

If you're from a poor family, settle na lang. Easy money. Iligo na lang daw.
If you're from a conservative family, keep quiet na lang. Kasi malalagay sa kahihiyan ang pamilya. Baka mawalan pa ng connections sina Mama at Papa.
And if you're from liberal background, it's an uphill battle. You'll likely be accused of attacking the Church. And we all know what that means.

And if you're from liberal background, it's an uphill battle. You'll likely be accused of attacking the Church. And we all know what that means.

Just like in the Hobbies &  interests section. Different threads about automobiles discussing specific parts of car care but the general idea is how to take care of your car. Ganun din 'tong thread.

You are correct sir in the parallelism but this is a hot topic like opening a can of worms.

Why does KW want to open a can of worms? Ang dating sa akin sir eh parang may pakay sya.

And if you're from liberal background, it's an uphill battle. You'll likely be accused of attacking the Church. And we all know what that means.

This is why I'm interested in finding out about the priest abuse situation in the Philippines. The Catholic Church is powerful. There are lots of devout Catholics here, a lot of them are poor, some of them uneducated (madaling mauto ni Father).

A priest in charge of a poor, provincial parish, if that priest is a sexual predator/pedophile, that would be a real paradise for him. He can practically rape/molest any child or woman he wants to and have them pay off and/or brainwash them to think that they're the ones at fault and not him.

Now, I'm not saying all priests are like that. I'm sure 99% of priests are decent men. But conditions being what they are in the Philippines, you can see how a sexually perverted priest can easily get away what with the power the Catholic Church has over the populace.

The issue was recently raised when Pope Ratzinger stepped down. Abuses by priests were never touched and most cases remain unresolved.

Baka naman fresh pa yung movie "Spotlight" hehe

There were stories our Bishop fathered two women in the province. It's not far fetched.

Abuses happen anytime, anywhere. Most cases were recorded in the US the past few decades. Dito ewan, takot pa rin ang mga tao sa prayle. hehe

I am a loyal Catholic but immorality and crime should be punished including those committed by priests and bishop. I am sure the Pope believes the same. If you follow Rappler, they published a couple of months ago a case similar to what you are asking about.

Kasi RC ang pinakamalaki.

Because RC is the biggest religion here. Mas malaki impact as compared to say, Simbahan ni <insert name>. Again, this isn't an attack on us Catholics, nor our beliefs (although I can think of a dedicated thread for that :) ).

For those wanting to delve deeper into this degrading, inhuman controversy, I have up for sale a PHOTOCOPY volume EARL WILKINSON'S suppressed PEOPLE, PRIEST & PEDOPHILE. I can only sell photocopied duplicates because the book is hopelessly out of print and has been "purged" by the CBCP. Unsold copies, especially those that have not been taken by retailers like Solidaridad Bookstore, was "stockaded" in Wilkinson's home in Manila and he was forced to store it down to his toilet. This is the only exposure that I know who dared tell the molestation and rape atrocities of Catholic priests against helpless children, 99% of the victims being boys. Alice Go #09202-833-970...

For me, it's a problem because they often meddle in politics and try to influence public policy. I would be tolerant of them if they just keep their opinions in the pulpit. Pero hindi eh.  Nakahawak pa rin sila sa bayag ng mga politiko natin.

No religion should meddle in politics. There should be a COMPLETE separation of Church and State. My proposed solution: Any Church that endorses a candidate and backs a political party or party-list (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, BUHAY PARTY-LIST) should lose their tax exempt status and be taxed extensively.

It's their role to tell people how to be moral otherwise sino ang pwedeng magsabi sa tao kung ano ang tama't mali kung ang pakikinggan mo lang ay ang taong walang pagkakamali. Wala naman taong hindi nagkakamali. Kung meron man naging tao na hindi nagkamali, willing ka bang pakinggan siya?

Strangely quiet?  What's so strange about withholding comment until the priest's guilt is conclusively determined?

The article states:

CBCP seals its lips on Butuan priest's pending rape charges but vocal about Duterte's 'Rape Comment
The Church is quick to vocally criticize other people's morality but quiet when their priest are involved

Here's the difference between the two incidents:

(a) The priest denies the accusations against him. Therefore, as of now, we don't know if the accusations are true or not.

(b) In contrast, Duterte's statement was caught on video, the authenticity of which he admits.  Therefore, as of now, the fact that Duterte uttered that statement about the alleged rape-murder victim is undisputedly true.

The CBCP declined to comment about an alleged incident that is denied by the priest, but the CBCP commented about a statement that is admitted by Duterte

There is no parallelism between the two incidents, so the allegation of hypocrisy against the CBCP is without basis.
