Justice to paedophile priests

By John Gerezani

The brothers are organised, brave and loud. The church has tried to ignore them for the better part of the past decade, but instead of breaking their resolve after attempting to buy their silence in vain, they are growing bigger and bolder, a real pain in the back-side.

SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) has thrown a spanner in the works.

And unless the Pope accedes to their demand that all paedophile priests in the communion are handed over immediately to law enforcement agencies in their respective member countries, this skunk is going to stink all over, including at a church near you real soon.

The air is already fouled by the pungent scandal in the States, Austria, Switzerland, Australia, Netherlands, Ireland and Germany where none other than the Pope’s elder brother is in the cross-hairs for acts of omission.

I am Catholic by faith and I detest the fact that the entire Church is being subjected to ridicule and bankruptcy because of the criminal acts of a few wayward priests.

Feeble apologies

Its not long since I wrote about such masquerades but it seems that even in the altar of expediency, push must come to shove before feeble apologies and bribes to buy silence are given. So who will have the moral authority to talk about corruption if the Holy Joes have their hands in the trough?

The chubby altar boys have a special place in any service, but it seems some of their minders had no qualms about desecrating Holy grounds by sexually molesting them. I am glad that it’s backfired and its payback time. I urge the hypocrites to read Hebrews 10:31, which succinctly states that it’s a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. The Apostle Paul spices it further in Galatians 6:7 that "God is not mocked for whatever a man sows, that’s what he shall reap".

Are our priests squeaky clean on this matter or is it a countdown to embarrassing skeletons starting to fall out of closets?

Let me advise any priest who knows that he has, at any one time or over a period of time taken leave of his moral senses to quietly resign and go into seclusion before the grinding stone falls.

Just in case they may think that this is idle talk, they should be forewarned that victims have smelt blood, they know the type of compensation that their colleagues in the States have been offered and they are about to hit pay day here.

It’s not a secret that there are many ladies with grown up children sired by supposedly celibate priests. I also know that some chaps have sought our neti view on how to petition the Pope to release the contents of the damning dossier on the rot in the Catholic Church in Kenya, a probe that was ordered by his predecessor John Paul II after word reached the Holy See of kiddos who had uncanny resemblance to serving senior priests as well as of over-indulgence in keroro. Over to the Vatican.

A reason to worry

With the local chapter of SNAP about to hit the street, some guys have every reason to worry.

Do not expect lots of exposes about priests who date single women. Neither should you expect more about the type who kept a loaded widow so engaged with the good side of life that she did not notice her cantankerous son fret away the family’s multi-million shilling estate to sly Asian business "associates" during the short-lived FOREX-C money minting scheme in the 90s.

The chap nowadays moonlights as a gun for hire who can go to any extreme to earn the extra buck.

I digress. Gangsters are besides themselves with mirth since for long, you have had issues about gays in neti. Now we have paedophiles on the pulpit – the very chaps you make your confessions to. Did I hear about some financing their girlfie’s termination of some pesky toi’s life before delivery?

I know they hate the "Abortion" term, but whatever the case, I am calling on all victims to come out and shame the nabobs. They belong right here.

Twawangojea, but not for mass.
