Catholic archbishop’s computer contained over 100,000 child porn images

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/09/arrested-catholic-archbishops-computer-contained-over-100000-images-of-children/ target=_blank>This is absolutely disgusting.

Vatican detectives analyzing a computer used a by an archbishop arrested earlier this week discovered over 86,000 pornographic photos and 160 sexually explicit video files of children, reports the International Business Times.

According to investigators, another 45,000 pictures had been deleted.

Former Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski, 66, was arrested at the Vatican earlier this week on charges that he paid to have sex with minors when he was a papal ambassador in the Dominican Republic from 2008 to 2012.

Wesolowski is the first Vatican official to be arrested within the city state on charges of pedophilia.

The former archbishop was recalled to Rome by the Vatican last year while still a diplomat in Santo Domingo and relieved of his duties following accusations from Dominican media that he was paying for underaged sex partners.

While I’m glad the Vatican City is holding former Archbishop Wesolowski responsible for the crimes he is alleged to have committed, there are far too many other perpetrators within the Catholic Church who’ve either never been held accountable or for whom accountability was too long in coming.

  1. Where there is opportunity for the greatest good, there is also opportunity for the greatest evil.

    So far in all this–and I’m sort of afraid to even mention this fact–despite the great harm to the credibility, reputation, influence and income ot the Catholic Church these disclosures afford, there have been no deaths or physical injury reported among the thousands of alleged victims.

    1. Well, just as you excused the Irish pedophilia apologist featured here for his ironic calling out of Israel a couple of months ago, here you are with the “at least the kids ain’t dead” defense of this creature. And of course you don’t know at all that these kids are alive and apparently care even less about the terror and hopelessness of their lives but that’s almost beside the point. For if your religion is even slightly worth saving, I would think you’d want the baseline set somewhat higher than murder.

  2. Throw the book at the creep and by all means get him out of the Catholic Church. That said, I can’t imagine this thread on Blogging Blue if the perp was a Muslim. Am I wrong?

      1. Hey, it seems we agree on something EmmaR. Don’t tell notquitethinking as he likes to try to enforce ideological purity on this site.

        1. You couldn’t come up with a slightly plausible straw argument in your first comment, with your insinuation and accusatory false equivalency over a pretend religious issue and non-event, aimed solely to discredit the blog. You return with nothing again other than attempted abuse of another commenter and apparently you don’t have the balls to respond directly to person who called you out on your previous bullshit attack on BB’s authors, commentators and owner.

          EmmaR was in no way agreeing with you over your lame suppositions, highlighting unmistakably, your reading comprehension deficit. Straw arguments, obvious contempt, abusiveness is all you have. If I was you, I’d start weighing the balance between free speech and disruptive trolling. The later is not a right guaranteed under the Constitution.

  3. I’m excusing nothing or no one, EmmaR. Just pointing out an anomaly for sexual abuse victims who are, by and large, injured and/or killed by their perpetrators. Keep your pedal to the metal if it makes you feel better.
