Since the release of the report on child abuse and raping of children by Roman Catholic priests by the Pennsylvania authorities, a petition has been created.

Signed it. Wished I could get the ones that abused me, but they are probably dead by now.

I did not sign it. The petition is filled with religious wording that does not reflect my thoughts. The legal system needs to be utilized to convict rapists. We should not have to sign a petition to make that happen.
I opened the grand jury report and looked at one random person:
This priest admitted to raping 2 boys (age 14, 15), and having a "sexual relationship" with 5 more minors. He took nude photos of many more, plied them with alcohol, and kept a collection of child porn he claims to have found in a dumpster. He admitted all of this in a letter to the church, yet was employed by the church for an additional 11 years (he finally quit on his own accord). He blamed his actions on the promiscuity of young boys, and that his actions were in vogue at the time. He says he can't understand why his victim focus their hatred towards him. Because of the church's coverup, he will never face charges for any of this.
This is just one random person from the 99 in the report.

/e: where are the torches and pitchforks? What I mean is, why have the Catholics not descended on this building and torn it apart, brick by brick?
I think not...…
A petition put out by sundry subscribers to the Catholic faith carries little moment in this case..... The Catholic Church is once more shown to be a corrupt and criminal organisation ……. the proper response should be that the full and total weight of the law should be visited upon each and every person implicated in the crimes themselves ,the facilitation and shielding of the malefactors and the subsequent cover ups.
As Nyarl… says "brick by brick"

You stole my line about the torches and pitchforks. I have been working on it ever since the previous entity in the vatican compared women who want to be priests to pedophiles. This is one out of over 1800 organizations I have been complaining to and probably the most effective. I got over 600 reads here.
I've got my own petition and 200 page tirade telling the Church hierarchy EXACTLY what I think of them and picketed the bishop's women's conference.
