The inability of a child to thrive in a Constitutionally protected God based perpetual threat and rape culture is not a fault of the child; however it does become their odious responsibility upon reaching adulthood. The Christian religion at its core is a toxic mechanism whereby intergenerational trauma is kept alive, active, and deeply embedded in each new generation, as it has done over the past 2,000+ years.

A rundown on the 2024 Criminal and Human Rights abuses by the Roman Catholic Church in New Zealand.
PUBLISHED: June 3, 2024 12:06:20 PM UPDATED: no update
Abusive institutions in New Zealand, particularly those with religious affiliations, may utilize various legal, social, and bureaucratic mechanisms to delay, defer, and deny justice to victims of sexual and psychological abuse. Here are several ways in which these institutions may operate to protect paedophiles and shield themselves from accountability:
Use of Time Limits: Many jurisdictions have statutes of limitations that set deadlines for filing lawsuits. Institutions may argue that the time for bringing a case has expired, preventing victims from seeking justice.
Deliberate Delays: Legal representatives may intentionally drag out legal proceedings, knowing that the emotional and financial strain on the victim may lead them to abandon their pursuit of justice.
Defamation Lawsuits: Intimidation through Litigation: Institutions may threaten or file defamation lawsuits against victims or advocates who speak out publicly, aiming to intimidate and silence them.
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): Settlements often include NDAs, preventing victims from discussing their abuse or the terms of the settlement, thus keeping the extent of the abuse hidden and protecting the institution’s reputation.
Technicalities and Loopholes: Skilled legal teams exploit technicalities and legal loopholes to dismiss cases or reduce liability.
Clericalism: Within religious institutions, a culture of clericalism can create an environment where clergy are considered above reproach, and questioning their actions is discouraged.
Character Assassination: Efforts to discredit victims’ credibility by highlighting any past indiscretions, mental health issues, or inconsistencies in their stories.
Blame and Shame: Shifting blame onto the victims, suggesting they are complicit or responsible for the abuse.
In-House Handling: Institutions may conduct their own internal investigations rather than involving law enforcement, allowing them to control the outcome and minimize consequences.
Lack of Transparency: Findings of internal investigations are often kept confidential, and any disciplinary actions are not made public.
Resource Disparity: Religious institutions often have substantial financial resources to hire top-tier legal representation, whereas victims may lack the funds to sustain long legal battles.
Charitable Status: The charitable status of many religious institutions can shield them from certain types of scrutiny and provide tax benefits that bolster their financial position.
Lobbying and Influence: Religious institutions may use their political connections to influence legislation or governmental actions in their favor.
Sympathetic Allies: Placement of sympathetic individuals in key legal, political, or social positions who can act to protect the institution.
Law Enforcement and Judicial Bias: Instances where local law enforcement or judicial officials may be biased in favor of the institution, leading to a lack of rigorous investigation or prosecution.
Regulatory Capture: Situations where regulatory bodies are dominated by individuals with close ties to the religious institutions they are supposed to oversee.
Minimizing Abuse: Convincing victims that the abuse was not severe or that it was a misunderstanding. Manipulating Memories: Encouraging victims to doubt their own recollections of events.
Spiritual Manipulation: Using religious doctrines or beliefs to manipulate victims into forgiveness and silence, suggesting that speaking out is against the faith.
Document Destruction: Historical instances where evidence of abuse has been deliberately destroyed to prevent it from being used in legal proceedings.
Reassignment of Offenders: Moving offending individuals to different locations rather than removing them from positions of power or reporting them to authorities.
Public Denials: Official statements denying the extent or existence of abuse within the institution, casting doubt on victims’ claims.
Understanding these tactics highlights the complex and multi-faceted nature of institutional abuse and the barriers to justice faced by survivors. Addressing these issues requires comprehensive legal reforms, greater transparency, and unwavering support for victims in their pursuit of justice.
2023 Findings in Spain found that 0.6% of the population of Spain had been sexually abused by Roman Catholic priests and laity. Up to 50 million alive on any day who have been raped or abused by Catholic clergy &/or Catholic laity
Current world population is 8 billion - 0.6% = 48 million alive today who are likely to have been raped by Catholics globally.
The church protected the perpetrators, not the victims
"This is a matter for the church and I respect the internal judgements of the church. I don't stand outside the church and provide them with public lectures in terms of how they should behave. I've noted carefully what his Holiness has said in the United States. Obviously that was a source of great comfort and healing in the United States. I'm like all Australians very much looking forward to what the Pope has to say here in Australia as well, as I am to my own conversation with the Pope later this morning." Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister of Australia, 17 July 2008. more

absolute precision in every aspect; however time and the evidence will show that I am closer to the truth than

The Commissioner informs us that the clergy sexual abuse issue was all over and that it had only been a
