Fil-Am priest arrested for molesting teen


A Filipino Catholic priest in New Jersey is facing sex abuse charges after his arrest earlier this month for molesting a teenage boy.

According to a report by Catholic News Asia, the Diocese of Trenton received the news about 67-year-old Fr. Romannilo "Nilo" Apura with heavy hearts.

Apura, who is originally from Borongan City in Eastern Samar, is accused of molesting a 16-year-old at the boy’s family home in Trenton, New Jersey earlier this year.

Another encounter reportedly happened in June when Apura allegedly tried to remove the same boy’s pants.

Can't help but wonder how many priests HERE get away with it since the Catholic Church has far more influence and power over here than in the U.S. Lots I bet!

Tama. Kaya hindi ako tumuloy sa pag pari.. Sabi father ko by the time pari na ako,baka pwede na pakasal ang pari. Buti hindi ako na convince. Only two activities lang mag secrete ng serotonin yung body, which was designed for survival of the race. Eating and sex.

I do believe that the vow of chastity among priests was started because at one point priests were starting to give lands and properties of the Church to their children and families. That's why the Church decided, no more doing that.

Or it can the other way around. Kung walang chastity vow ang mga pari, baka lesser ang incidents ng sex abuse.

Yehey!

Pope Francis Demotes Outspoken Conservative Cardinal



Pope Francis has demoted a conservative American cardinal who has criticized his leadership of the Catholic Church.

The pontiff removed Cardinal Raymond Burke as the leader of the Vatican’s highest court and appointed him to a ceremonial position as chaplain of the Knights of Malta, a charity group, according to a press bulletin issued Saturday.

That is a significant demotion, according to the National Catholic Reporter. “The position of Patron of the the Order of Malta is usually given to a retired cardinal, or as a second task to an active cardinal,” Michael Sean Winters writes. “It has almost no responsibilities.”

The move was not a surprise, as Burke, the Vatican’s highest ranking American, had said last month that he was going to have a new post.

The outspoken, conservative bishop — who pushed for the Vatican to revise and water-down its recent, tentative step toward greater acceptance of LGBT people — has butted heads with the pope since the Argentine was elected last year. Last month, he compared Pope Francis’ leadership to “a ship without a rudder” during an interview with a Spanish magazine.

If that were reported locally the community would pressure the family to not pursue the case. Thank God for a society that is more plural. No one group dictates what's what.

My guess is a lot based on this article from a former associate justice of the Court of Appeals.

U.N. Report: Vatican Policies Allowed Priests To Rape Children

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/u-n-report-vatican-policies-allowed-priests-rape-children-n22531

Ang tagal pala ng report sa UN. Yun unang report daw, late by 14 years!

It criticized the institution for submitting its last report 14 years late.

Then:

Its recommendations are non-binding and the U.N. has given the Vatican until 2017 to report back.

So hantay tayo till 2017.

yun nga. 14 years?! bakit inabot ng ganung katagal? hinintay ba muna nila mamatay at mawala yung mga matatandang manyak priests para mabawasan?

Quote
In response, the Vatican said in a statement published on its website that some points made in the report were an "attempt to interfere with Catholic Church teaching."

unahin pa muna nila teachings nila kaysa buhay ng mga bata? kalokohan. >:(

The more educated a populous are the less they depend on religion. See how the Europeans are doing with their empty Churches.

It's why our local Catholic Church is relatively tolerant of corrupt politicians. As long as the population remains poor and uneducated, the more powerful they are.

Ano kamo? Di ka proud 2b pinoy? :)

For religions to survive they have to be above the law. If they arent then they become mere myths like those of the ancient Greek, Egyption and Vikings.
