Criminal priest John Joseph Farrell was protected by church officials: Full story
This Broken Rites article is the most comprehensive account available about how Catholic Church officials kept quiet for THIRTY YEARS about the crimes of the paedophile priest John Joseph Farrell (also known as "Father F"). Eventually, Broken Rites (but not the church officials) advised some of Farrell's victims to speak to the Sex Crime Squad detectives of the New South Wales Police; and, as result, Farrell was finally sentenced in a Sydney court on 2 May 2016 to spend a minimum of 18 years in jail. Now the church officials need to explain why they concealed Farrell's crimes from the police. Concealing a crime can itself be a crime. (By a Broken Rites researcher, article updated 2 May 2016).

Father John Joseph Farrell (and the church's cover-up) damaged us, victims told a court
Father John Joseph Farrell (also known as "Father F") was protected by the Catholic Church while he committed crimes against children, victims told a Sydney court in a pre-sentence hearing in 2016. Victims said their adult lives were damaged by the church's cover-up. Father Farrell targeted numerous children (mostly boys, plus some girls) in northern New South Wales in the 1980s (and later in western Sydney until 1992). On 2 May 2016 he was sentenced to a minimum of 18 years jail for 62 of his crimes, committed against 12 of his victims. A further 17 incidents were taken into account at sentencing, making a total of 79 incidents. And these were not Farrell's only victims — others have not yet spoken to the NSW Police detectives. This Broken Rites article summarises Farrell's court proceedings which continued from 2012 to 2016. (By a Broken Rites researcher, article updated 2 May 2016).

Christian Brother David Standen damaged our lives, victims say in court
Eleven victms, now middle-aged, told a Sydney court on 15 April 2016 how their lives have been damaged by a sexually-abusive Christian Brother, William Peter ("David") Standen, in a Catholic boys' boarding school in south-western New South Wales in 1978-81. At the time of the abuse, these boys were aged 10, 11 or 12, feeling isolated and homesick in their first year away from their rural families. Several of the victims told how Standen's crimes have shaken their religious faith and have led to family break-ups and life-long struggles with drug and alcohol abuse and damaged careers. Meanwhile, Brother Standen's career boomed: he later spent six years as the deputy principal at St Dominic's College, Penrith, in western Sydney; and finally he was the principal of the prestigious St Mary's Cathedral College in inner-Sydney for a decade until 2010.

VIDEO: Christian Brother Chris Rafferty, now in Sydney, is facing a court trial
Christian Brother Christopher Rafferty, now living in Sydney, is scheduled to face a trial in Sydney in late 2016, charged with child-sex offences allegedly committed in the 1980s while he was working at St Patrick's College in Goulburn, in south-western New South Wales. In recent years, until his arrest, Brother Rafferty has been working (and residing) at a Catholic boys' school (St Pius X College) in Chatswood, on Sydney's North Shore. Before joining St Pius X College, Br Rafferty had been deputy headmaster of St Mary’s Cathedral College in central Sydney. (Article by a Broken Rites researcher.)

The church kept quiet about Christian Brother Neil Richards' crimes but now he is in jail
Helped by Broken Rites, some of the victims of Christian Brother Desmond Eric ("Neil") Richards have achieved justice. In November 2014 in the Sydney District Court, Richards was jailed for committing sexual offences against Catholic schoolboys. On 15 April 2016, while still in jail, Richards was brought back to the same court, where he pleaded guilty to offences committed against two more of his former students; and now he is to be sentenced again regarding these two victims. (By a Broken Rites researcher, article updated 15 April 2016.)

Call me naive but I think those who are trusted most, must battle with the most temptation.
These men are not allowed to have wives, or release themselves sexually in any way.
This is probably not a good thing, and arguably should have been changed
or discussed a long time ago.

The nature of a perversion such as pedophilia is that the pedophile draws his pleasure from corruption.
A lot of people get off on being 'bad'. It is a kink.
Who is more 'good' than a priest?
Who would derive most pleasure from this perversion?

These men should not have ever become priests. They are weak, what they've done is disgusting.
Of course it is impossible to know a mans heart.
Perverts and pedophiles are everywhere.
The majority of abuses happen by someone trusted, even an older relative.

The church concealed the crimes of Father Vincent Ryan, thus inflicting him on more children
This Broken Rites article is the most comprehensive account available about how Catholic Church leaders knowingly protected one of Australia's worst child-molester priests, Father Vincent Gerard Ryan. Ryan's superiors (in the Maitland-Newcastle diocese in New South Wales) knew that he was sexually assaulting boys in his parishes. But the church concealed Ryan's crimes from the police and kept him in the ministry for twenty years, giving him access to new victims. On 27 April 2016, Ryan pleaded guilty to more of his offences, and he will be sentenced for these later in 2016. (By a Broken Rites researcher, article updated 27 April 2016.)

Catholic Church has investigated a sex-abuse allegation against George Pell (and there is no mention of exoneration)
In October 2002, the Catholic Church in Australia paid a senior barrister, Mr Alex Southwell QC, to investigate an allegation that, about forty years earlier, a trainee priest named George had sexually abused a twelve-year-old altar boy at a holiday camp for young boys in tents on Phillip Island, south-east of Melbourne. According to Mr Southwell's report, the former altar boy (referred to in this article as "C ", for Complainant) has alleged that, on several occasions, the trainee priest George thrust his hand down the inside of C's pants and got "a good handful" of the boy's penis and testicles; and C also alleged that, on other occasions, George tried to guide C's hand into the front of George's pants. In the year 2000, when C was aged 50, he discovered (from television news footage) that the trainee priest George had risen to become the archbishop of Melbourne. C was shocked — "he did not think it right that someone who had behaved indecently towards children should lead the church," the Southwell report says. So, beginning in 2000, C wanted to alert the church authorities. C emphasised that he was not seeking compensation; he merely wanted the church authorities to note the alleged incidents.  Mr Southwell concluded that C "appeared to speak honestly from an actual recollection", while Archbishop George Pell (who was indeed present at the altar boys' camp) denied the alleged abuse.

The church gave this Sydney paedophile priest a new parish, plus more children
In the early 1970s, a boy (this article will refer to him as "Boy A") complained to the Catholic Church about being sexually abused by a Sydney priest, but the church merely transferred the priest to a new parish, thus giving him easy access to more victims, a Sydney court has been told. Many years later, one of the later victims (we will call him "Dwayne", not his real name) contacted Broken Rites, which advised him to speak to police detectives, not to the church. Police then charged the priest, Father Robert Flaherty, who pleaded guilty in court in 2015 regarding two of his victims (Boy A and Boy B). A jury found Flaherty guilty of assaulting the third boy (Dwayne). In February 2016, Father Flaherty (aged 72) was sentenced to jail regarding these three victims. Meanwhile, the news about Flaherty has prompted more alleged victims of Flaherty to contact the detectives. (By a Broken Rites researcher, article updated 12 March 2016.)

Cardinal George Pell instructed his lawyers to crush this victim — and other victims
Cardinal George Pell is claiming now that he has "helped" the Catholic Church's sex-abuse victims. Therefore, let's look  at how Pell treated one of the church's victims — a former altar boy, John Ellis. Cardinal Pell (as head of the Sydney Catholic archdiocese) instigated the archdiocese's legal battle against John Ellis, according to evidence and documents presented to Australia's child-abuse Royal Commission. Pell's legal victory in 2007 (known as the "Ellis defence") now forces church-victims to accept a discounted in-house "Towards Healing" settlement instead of suing for proper compensation, the Commission was told. And this Broken Rites article demonstrates that John Ellis was not the only victim of his abuser, Sydney priest Father Aidan Duggan. (By a Broken Rites researcher.)

A priest from northern NSW is in court in 2016 on child-sex charges
A Catholic priest in northern New South Wales, John Patrick Casey, 67, is facing criminal court proceedings in 2016, charged with child-sex offences allegedly committed in the 1980s. In July 2015, Casey was placed in custody without bail. A magistrate said the charges are serious and could bring a custodial sentence if there is a conviction. On 8 October 2015, after three months behind bars, Casey was finally granted bail while awaiting his court hearings. In 2016, the matter has moved from the magistrates court to a judge in the Lismore District Court, where the case had a preliminary mention on 23 March 2016. The District Court process will continue soon. (By a Broken Rites researcher, article updated 24 March 2016)

Catholic clergy (including George Pell) looked the other way while Father Ridsdale continued committing more crimes against more children in more parishes
This Broken Rites article is the most comprehensive account available about how the Catholic Church harboured this child-abuse criminal — Father Gerald Francis Ridsdale — for 30 years in western Victoria while his superiors and fellow-priests remained silent to protect the church's public image. In 1982, when Father Ridsdale had been abusing children for 20 years, a clergy committee (of which Father George Pell was a member) noted that Ridsdale was being transferred away from Victoria. Thus, he was inflicted on potential victims in New South Wales. Eventually, in 1993, Victoria Police detectives charged Ridsdale in court. He was accompanied to court by his support person, George Pell, who had become an assistant bishop in Melbourne. However, no bishop accompanied the victims. Encouraged by Broken Rites, more victims later spoke to the detectives. In his four court cases between 1993 and 2014, Ridsdale has been jailed for a minimum of 24 years for assaulting 54 of his victims. Broken Rites is proud of its role in exposing the church's cover-up of this criminal priest. (Background article, by a Broken Rites researcher.)

This criminal priest, Monsignor John Day, was defended by Bishop Mulkearns
Broken Rites has forced the Catholic Church to admit that it protected one of Australia's worst paedophile priests, Monsignor John Day, for many years while he was committing sexual crimes against children. One church leader — Bishop Ronald Mulkearns, of the Ballarat diocese — spoke in defence of Monsignor Day. At one stage, Monsignor Day had another criminal priest, Father Gerald Ridsdale, working under him — two criminal priests in the one parish. And later a eulogy of Monsignor Day was published in the diocese's magazine (about this time, Father George Pell became editor of this magazine). (Article by a Broken Rites researcher)

The church concealed the crimes of Father Paul David Ryan
Broken Rites Australia is doing further research about how the Catholic Church authorities continually harboured a criminal priest, Father Paul David Ryan, thus enabling him to commit more crimes on more children in more parishes. The church authorities continually concealed Ryan's crimes from the police. Under Australian criminal law, this concealment can itself be a crime — and perhaps, some day, certain powerful people in the church could be prosecuted by the police for this cover-up.

many blessings

to relieve one self in self abuse is inviting negative energies and entities to coerce through the ego template around , and an aspect of ,the physical body energetic system ..

this is encouraged in todays society yet

it is a satanic ceremony through pornography and desecration of the divine feminine

one will attain wisdom and much enlightenment

when not viewing pornography and not participating in satanic ceremony of master-baition

yet those that do abuse my beloved children shall endure that which ye hath invoked

and so be it

many blessings unto all hearts

yet the priests are clearly possessed by negative entities / demons

this is a secret society cult indoctrinating priests to rape children

many look the other way rather ,

than save the innocent children upon this world ,

and as such this topic is opened for chat

love and light remains within all hearts

and so be it

Agreed they are likely possessed by what some may call 'demons'. Another word perhaps for their own unclean
perverted desires. However I believe they are of their
own making. The church does not appreciate what they do
how could they? It is a public relations nightmare.
They have nothing to gain from the priests who do this.
It is in my opinion a case of priests being unable to cope in the modern day.
Their position is one of ancient times, unable to be updated as it is written in religious law.
They are more vulnerable than ever to corruption,
with no assistance from wider society.
It is the devil in their ear whispering to renounce what they know is right,
to sell their purity for perverted pleasure, probably built on
fantasies they have conjured in their minds over many years.
