Even so I can't condone the church for trying to cover up abuse for any reason let alone to save face, and I will keep a look out for the film Rindi.

couple of points I want to make about this post ...

re. the Burqa, anyone who has done any travel to Saudi Arabia will tell you the same story , as soon as the seat belt sign goes out on planes leaving Jeddah and Riyhad there is a procession of 'burqas' into the toilets and 5 minutes later a procession of some of the most beautiful women you will ever see return to their seats, the opposite happens on flights into the Kingdom ....babes into the toilets, Burqas out .........one thing to note ..all these women have male companions , husbands /fathers/brothers etc. who seem to have no problem with the change.
All these folks subscribe to and live by the rules of Wahabi Islam when at home but it goes out of the window when they travel. Hypocrisy or not ... not for me to say. :rolleyes:

Re, the Catholic Church and "abuse" , the numbers being bandied about are just staggering/unrealistic , I'm just curious about a couple of points,
#1 , In cities like Boston , Philidelpia and NYC all cities with high Catholic populations and a high Catholic profile in Law enforcement (Irish cops and DAs) to know why nothing came out earlier since I'm sure lots of cops and DAs are ex alter boys .
Same applies to places like Dublin, sure most of the present day 'Garda' were alter boys at one time :confused:
# 2 (in the US at least) most of the lawyers who have been "Ambulance chasing" the Church for multi million dollar settlements all have names ending in 'stein' 'berg' and 'wietz'. not saying there is a conspricy but something smells :confused: :confused:

you can see where this is leading to, but our political master's just dont get it/dont care, so when the time comes to vote you know who to vote for dont you?

same here..in the 70's ..to my shame I did attend a meeting of the then NF..it soon became clear that repatriation of "non British" was not the only option these people had in mind. "thugs" is a kind description Cashy.
