THE VATICAN CITY Has Disappointed Its Followers And God, Above All


The Vatican City


The Vatican City


In recent years, sexual abuse scandals involving the Catholic Church have been an ugly situation that no apology or remedy could heal the victims who are scarred for life.



Last year, the Catholic Church was under severe pressure over the complaints of victims that allegedly have been sexually abused by the church for several years while services to the church. 

The Vatican City has nothing to cover up the accusations but to apologize. The apology has been made, but new accusations keep appearing every day from many parts of the world.

In Kenya, the authorities are now looking for much evidence to prosecute a retired Dutch Roman Catholic bishop, Cornelius Schilder, for the sexual abuse of an underage boy, eighteen years ago.

The Deetman Commission investigating abuses within the Catholic Church alerted the Dutch authorities to the case. Unfortunately, since the victim did not report the case to the police, the commission is now facing problems in its investigations to prosecute Bishop Schilder.

Bishop Schilder, who is now in the Netherlands, has refused to talk to the press about the case. His lawyer has denied any abuse by the Bishop.

In 2005, the 32 alleged victim, Michael Ole Uka, was treated for the injuries relating to the abuse. He claimed to have been abused by several priests serving the Mill-Hill Missionary, for a very long period, including Bishop Schilder in 1993. 

The missionary paid for his medical treatment but failed to report the case to the Kenyan police, because that type of case, classified as homosexuality, is a crime.

It was, however, reported to the Vatican in Rome, but it took them three years and repeated requests to finally force the Bishop to retire.

As a matter of fact, the Vatican City and all those accused of such crime have totally disappointed God (the Holy Mary) whom they serve, and the followers of the Catholic Church. 

Instead of an apology, they must make sure such a crime shouldn't be repeated. An invisible cloud of shame hangs over the Vatican City now.
