I don’t deny it. I deny that the church, the dogmas, or the teachings of the church condone or protect pedophiles. Corrupt individuals in positions of power do that.
The teachings of the Roman Catholic Church are not Biblical but rather are based on traditions. It just so happens many of those traditions are pagan traditions which were rebranded as Christianity by changing the terminology.
Pedophilia is also a tradition of the Roman Catholic Church, sadly. Hell, they used to castrate their favorite altar boys so their voices would never change.
Fred, an altar boy, said that one Sunday in 1983, he soiled his pants. After Mass, Bongiorno took him to the presbytery and showered him. He said Bongiorno then touched the boy's genitals on the bed and performed oral sex on the boy. Fred said he was upset and struggling; he tried to phone his mother to get her to collect him but Bongiorno hung up the phone. Fred did not tell his mother about the assault because he was too ashamed. Fred said Bongiorno repeated the assault on later occasions in 1983-7 and tried to get Fred to perform oral sex on the priest. Fred said Bongiorno used to give him money.
The court was told that both Rex and Fred had immigrant parents and both were having trouble with the parents. This made the boys vulnerable to Bongiorno.
An old Spanish custom
Three witnesses (Andrew, Anne and Greg) said they had heard Bongiorno referring (approvingly), on several occasions, to "the old Spanish custom where the altar boy sleeps with the parish priest".
On one of these occasions, Bongiorno was sitting in a chair with Fred on his knee.
While Bongiorno was in the witness box, the prosecution asked him: "Well, is it really an old Spanish custom?"
Bongiorno replied "Yes".
In response to Judge Crossley, Bongiorno said: "The Catholic Church in Spain, Italy and the Philippines is quite different from in Australia. As students for the priesthood we were often amazed at these differences and we often used to refer to this or that old Spanish custom."
I don’t deny it. I deny that the church, the dogmas, or the teachings of the church condone or protect pedophiles. Corrupt individuals in positions of power do that.
So basically, you take the position of Pope Benedict, who protected the pedophiles.

You are too illogical to converse with. Your entire reply is a non sequitur.
