The Roman Catholic Church, as part of ongoing lawsuits, will make payments to approximately 700 male and female sexual and psychological abuse, molestation, and rape victims who were living in Alaska Native villages and Indian reservations from Montana to Washington, Idaho and Oregon, and who were “sexually or psychologically abused as children by Jesuit missionaries in those states in the 1940s through the 1990s,” according to a statement by attorneys.

I didn't read anything about jail time for the rapists!

I also didn't read anything about catholics doing anything to hold these rapists accountable.

PBS - FRONTLINE Ran a program on this and you will get your answers. It is only 30 mins long.

You will not be happy.

Thanks for the link, Jack.

I'm not surprised at this because it is still happening today as evident of people not leaving the Catholic Church! Mothers are still putting their children in harm's way because they choose their men over their children. Child molestation will continue as long as these people endorse it.

What's sad is how people devalue the feelings of children and refuse to accept that children don't grow out of or forget the abuses they had to suffered in childhood silence. Thank goodness for Ken Rosa, Esq who took on the catholic church in a class action suit.

The members of the catholic church prefer to live in silence-shame for if they truly believe in God they'd take action, leave the predator church, and demand justice for all the children who are now adults who are still living in pain. After all, can't they find God in other religions?

The members of the catholic church continues to put children, their children, in harms way as long as they support this child predator organization.

I don't believe or accept Bishop Donald Ketter's apology because the damage the catholic church has caused to so many children cannot be undone. I also found Bishop Ketter insensitive when he asked the victims "if there is something you'd like to tell me please do that."

I've never been raped but I know people who have and I see the agony they suffer day after day after day. If the members of the catholic really wanted to help these individuals who were raped as children who are now adults who are suffering, they would help put the catholic church out of business because that is the only I'm sorry I can accept!

Great link and thanks.
