This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sexual abuse of children and teens by rogue priests in the U.S. Catholic Church is a heinous crime, and those who pray for a religious community as its ministers, priests and rabbis should never tolerate those who prey on that community. The legal disputes of recent years have produced many scandalous headlines and fuelled public discussion about the sexual abuse crisis within the clergy, a crisis that has cost the U.S. Catholic Church over $3 billion. In The Clergy Sex Abuse Crisis and the Legal Responses, two eminent experts, James O'Reilly and Margaret Chalmers, draw on the lessons of recent years to discern the interplay between civil damages law and global church-based canon law. In some countries civil and canon law, although autonomous systems of law, both form part of the church's legal duties. In the United States, freedom of religion issues have complicated how the state adjudicates both cases of abuse and who can be held responsible for clerical oversight. This book examines questions of civil and criminal liability, issues of respondeat superior and oversight, issues with statutes of limitations and dealing with allegations that occurred decades ago, and how the Church's internal judicial processes interact or clash with the civil pursuit of these cases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Crimes of the Clergy, or the Pillars of Priest-Craft Shaken: With an Appendix Entitled the Scourge of Ireland; And an Account of the Enormous Rewards Received by the Clergy to Induce Them to Do Their Duty to God and Man With these sentiments we shall take leave of our readers. We have done all that we pledged ourselves to do; exposed the crimes of the vicious part of the clergy, and exalted the reputation of the Established Church. Whether it may have any good effect, time alone can develope. We relinquish the publication of this work at a period when it is called for in every part of the United Kingdoms; and when we have communications that would fill volumes; but we never wielded the scourge in malice, nor has revenge any place in our mind. We have suffered deeply from church oppression; or, rather we might say, from clerical rancour, and our person has been thrown into a dungeon. However, when these gentlemen see that we have the mercy to forgive them, they should know we have also the power to chastise them whenever we please. It was our intention to give a list of Pluralists; the list would occupy too much space, and can give no satisfaction to any of our readers. Suffice it, that there are on the church establishments of England eleven hundred men, who hold above four benefices each; and three thousand, who hold two and more.

Book excerpt: Theft, extortion, embezzlement, mafia ties, drunk driving and even murder - these are the true stories of priests gone bad. It's a dark and windy Easter in Toledo, Ohio when Sister Margaret is found murdered in the chapel, the victim of a Satanic ritual. Twenty years later her murderer is revealed to be the parish priest Father Gerald. Monsignor Skehan and Father Guinan embezzled 8.1 million dollars from their affluent Palm Beach, Florida, church, Guinan fleeing to Ireland and leaving Skehan to face the music. Father Fink of Texas crashed his car into a restaurant while driving drunk, injuring ten people. The civil lawsuits that ensued featured innovative - and shady - defense tactics. Radic dramatically retells these stories and many others, drawing on his personal trials as a pastor convicted of embezzlement, forgery, and fraud.
Download or read book Worship and Sin written by Karel Kurst-Swanger and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worship and Sin: Religion-Related Crime in the United States raises provocative questions about the role of religion in crime and criminal behavior. Arguing that religion-related crime should be classified as a distinct subset of crime worthy of continued investigation by scholars, this book brings together for the first time the disparate scholarly research related to various types of religion-related crime, presents numerous examples, and considers the practical and legal issues facing practitioners of various disciplines. This ground-breaking work takes great care to present a comprehensive overview of the phenomenon and illustrates the complex and multidimensional nature of this crime category. A three-pronged typology is presented as a conceptual framework to distinguish the unique features of different types of religion-related crime and to highlight the dynamic historical, psychological, social, and cultural forces involved in each. The author opens the text with several introductory chapters which serve to define religion-related crime, explore the role of religion in society, and to provide an overview of legal and policy issues. The remaining chapters provide detailed examples of three different types of religion-related crime: theologically-based crimes, which are those which are a result of a particular religious custom, practice, or belief; while reactive/defensive crimes are those which come about more as a result of social or political tensions between the religious member or group and the broader secular community. The third type of religion-related crime identified is the abuse of religious authority. This category explores crimes committed by clergy who have taken advantage of their social, political, and religious status. To further broaden an understanding of religion-related crime, the author provides chapters which explore crimes against women and children, the use of illicit drugs in religious practice or to reach desired states of spiritual awareness, the nature and function of destructive religious groups, violence against reproductive health providers, hate crime, and crimes committed by clergy.
Download or read book Spoils of the Kingdom written by Anson Shupe and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Spoils of the Kingdom, Anson Shupe investigates clergy misconduct as it has recently unfolded across five faith-based groups. Looking at episodes of abuse in the Roman Catholic, Mormon, African American Protestant, white Evangelical Protestant, and First Nations communities, Spoils of the Kingdom tackles hard questions not only about the sexual abuse of women and children, but also about economic frauds perpetrated by church leaders (including embezzlement, mis-represented missions, and outright theft) as well as cases of excessively authoritarian control of members’ health, lifestyles, employment, and politics. Drawing on case evidence, Shupe employs classical and modern social exchange theories to explain the institutional dynamics of clergy misconduct. He argues that there is an implicit contract of reciprocity and compliance between congregants and religious leaders that, when amplified by the charismatic awe often associated with religious authorities, can lead to misconduct.

Download or read book A Corrupt Tree An Encyclopaedia of Crimes committed by the Church of Rome against Humanity and the Human Spirit written by A.S. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 822 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘A Corrupt Tree’ is a unique, extensively researched, four volume exposé of the dark side of the Church of Rome. It reveals that for nearly two thousand years the Church’s fundamental characteristic has been its self-serving abuse of religio-corporate power. A large proportion of this first volume provides a detailed catalogue of the multitude of unholy popes. Included, are those who were immature, capricious, corrupt, lascivious, fanatical, senile, truly mad, megalomanic, tyrannical, murderous, and wholesale killers. It confirms that for many, many centuries the popes were corrupt, cruel, inhumane, and despotic. In an age of savagery they were the leaders in barbarity; in the subsequent age of enlightenment they have persistently resisted the march of progress. Additionally, the popes were wholesale killers who ‘made the principle of assassination a law of the Christian Church.’ Accordingly, the Church ‘has shed more innocent blood than any other institution that has ever existed among mankind.’ Here also are presented the cupidity, corruption, and sexual misconducts of lesser ecclesiastics, including cardinals, bishops, priests, monks and nuns. Pope Honorius III, for example, described his priests as ‘worse than beasts wallowing in their dung.’ The Church’s ruthless stranglehold on knowledge and learning is catalogued in detail. Mathematics, philosophy and science were repressed. Selected, applied theology ruled the world. ‘Everything was explained, but nothing was understood.’ The chapters on censorship reveal that even works of considerable literary or philosophical merit did not escape. A large number of writings which eventually became classics of European culture were condemned and prohibited. The Church also exhibited a vitriolic hatred of those who translated the Bible into the vernacular. Many of these men were annihilated. Holy books were burned in large numbers ‒ particularly the Jewish Talmud. It is clearly demonstrated that the Church held back civilisation for over fifteen hundred years. ‘Century after century passed away, and left the peasantry but little better than the cattle in the fields.’ Finally, the unholy behaviours of the numerous popes, cardinals, and lesser ecclesiastics are shown to establish, unequivocally, that the Church of Rome is neither holy nor apostolic. The ultimate message of these volumes is that to become an exemplary institution, and to play a truly humane role in the world’s future, the Catholic Church must change.

Download or read book Soul Murder God Priest and Me written by Sara Atman and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-03 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'SOUL MURDER God Priest and Me' is a compelling account of adult clergy sex abuse and the denial and cover-up over 4 decades by the Catholic Church et al. Through sheer determination 'Sara' was instrumental in finally bringing about the priest's expulsion. By this time he was 80 yrs old! Clergy sex abuse is more than an abuse of trust; it is more than a crime. It is SOUL MURDER. Soul Murder is a betrayal by God and by clergy - God's representative. This type of abuse challenges faith and forces victims to ask: Does a God of love really exist? Sara's struggles with this profound betrayal weave through the story in the form of 'God Conversations' that take her on a roller-coaster jouney towards healing. The genuine quest for answers and the need to apportion blame are expressed in a powerful way - ironically, hopefully, despairingly and tongue-in-cheek. The book also addresses the issue of enforced celibacy and its consequences: repression, emotonal immaturity etc.
