Anglican Church Really Sorry About All The Kids They Raped

AN INVESTIGATION INTO AUSTRALIA'S ANGLICAN CHURCH HAS
REVEALED MORE THAN 1000 CLAIMS A CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE OVER THE PAST
THREE AND HALF DECADES AND THE NUMBERS HERE ARE VERY SCARY.
THE INTERIM REPORT THAT IT'S JUST BEEN REVEALED SAID
1082 PEOPLE LARGE COMPLAINTS BETWEEN 1980 AND 2015
THAT IDENTIFIED 569
ANGLICAN CLERGY, TEACHERS AND VOLUNTEERS AS ALLEGED ABUSERS.
THERE WERE AN ADDITIONAL 133
ALLEGED ABUSES REPORTED BY PEOPLE WHOSE ROLES WITHIN
THE CHURCH WERE NOT CURRENTLY KNOWN THAT THE AVERAGE AGE
OF THE VICTIMS WAS 11, AND 75% OF THEM ARE BOYS.
AVERAGE IT TOOK 29 YEARS FOR EACH INCIDENT TO BE REPORTED
THAT THAT IS A SORT OF PATTERN THAT WE HAVE SEEN AROUND THE
GLOBE WHEN THESE ABUSES ARE EVENTUALLY UNVEILED THOUGHT
LET'S GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON SOME OF THE PROGRESS WITH SOME
OF THESE ABUSERS.
OF 84 ALLEGED OFFENDERS WERE FORD TO POLICE, FOR HAD
BEEN PROSECUTED WHILE 23 REMAIN UNDER INVESTIGATION.
IN TOTAL ALL BUT ONE OF THE DIOCESE IN AUSTRALIA
RECEIVED AT LEAST ONE COMPLAINT THAT THIS IS NOT JUST A
COUPLE OF HOTBEDS OF ABUSE OVER AND MULTIPLE DECADES, THIS
IS AS PERVASIVE AS IT CAN BE IN AUSTRALIA AND AGAIN MATCHES
THE PATTERN THAT WE HAVE SEEN IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD.
EN ROUTE SPOTS THIS REPORT THE ARCHBISHOP WITHOUT THE
STATEMENT.
WE ARE DEEPLY ASHAMED OF THE MANY WAYS IN WHICH WE HAVE
LETDOWN SURVIVORS, BOTH IN THE WAY WE HAVE ACTED IN THE
WAY WE FAILED TO ACT I WISH TO EXPRESS MY PERSONAL SENSE
OF SHAME IN CHARLOTTE THE WAY SURVIVORS VOICES WERE OFTEN
SILENCED AND APPARENT INTEREST OF THE CHURCH PUT 1ST.
WHICH AGAIN SOUNDS LIKE WHAT LEADERS OF THE CHURCH HAVE
ALWAYS SAID WHEN THESE REVELATIONS HAVE COME OUT
THAT THEY FOUGHT AS LONG AS THEY CAN AND THEN FINALLY THE
TRUTH IS REVEALED AND THEN THERE IS A LOT OF SORRY TO GO AROUND.
IF THAT DOESN'T TELL YOU THAT RELIGION IS EMPTY THEN NOTHING
ELSE WILL BECAUSE ALL THE OTHER RELIGIONS REACT EXACTLY
THING WITH THIS STUFF HAPPENS.
ALL THAT BIBLE READING, ALL THAT JESUS THINKING, WHEN IT COMES
TO IT, THE INSTITUTION THAT CLAIMS TO BELIEVE THAT IS EVIL.
EVIL IN A WAY THAT YOU COULD NEVER IMAGINE.
FOLK RELIGION.
SPIRITUALITY IS PERSONAL AND I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
WHO DISAGREE WITH ME AND THINK RELIGION DOES A LOT OF GOOD
THINGS THAT YOU DON'T NEED IT TO DO GOOD THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO BE GOOD WITH OR WITHOUT RELIGION AND THE SAME WITH BAD.
PEOPLE WHO ARE DRAWN TO POWER WHICH IS WHAT RELIGIOUS
INSTITUTIONS ARE, PEOPLE WHO ARE DRAWN TO THAT POWER OF
MEDIOCRE PEOPLE AND OFTEN PEOPLE WITH NEFARIOUS MEANS.
ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE ON KIDS LIKE THAT AND, KEEP AN EXTRA EYE
ON THEM ESSENTIALLY PEOPLE WHO WEAR THEIR PIETY ON THE SLEEVE.
A KIND OF SEEMS LIKE IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE CHURCH HE WOULD
STILL HAVE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ABUSE CHILDREN BUT YOU WOULDN'T
HAVE ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE HISTORY
OF THE WORLD DEFENDING THOSE PEOPLE IN HIDING THEIR CRIMES.
THEY WOULD BE ON THEIR OWN, EASIER TO TRACK DOWN AND
LESS ABLE TO ABUSE MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT
A JUST WONDER WHICH PEOPLE ARE STILL ALLOWING THEIR
KIDS TO BE IN THE SYSTEM OF BEING LEFT WITH THESE
RANDOM FOLKS AND I DON'T CARE WHICH FOLKS IT IS.
I DON'T CARE WHICH RELIGION OR BREAKDOWN OF RELIGION OR
WHICH CHURCH OR COUNTRY, IT'S ACROSS THE BOARD PRETTY MUCH.
WHICH ONE OF THESE FOLKS IS STILL ALLOWING KIDS TO BE
AROUND, AND I'M NOT JUST SAYING IT'S JUST ALTAR BOYS AND STUFF
LIKE THAT, WE HAD A FIGHT IN A LEGAL BATTLE AND LEGISLATION
WRITTEN UP ABOUT GENDER-NEUTRAL BATHROOMS IN NORTH CAROLINA AND
HOW MUCH THESE DAMN TRANSGENDERED'S COMMENT AND WANT
TO RAPE YOUR DAUGHTERS AND YOUR WIFE AND YOUR GIRLFRIENDS
BECAUSE OF SO MUCH PROOF BEHIND IT BUT THOUGH BELIEVE IT
BECAUSE HE SAID IT ENOUGH TIMES.
THERE IS DECADES OF PROOF BEHIND THIS AND WHEN HE DIDN'T BELIEVE
IT THE FIRST TIME, THE CHURCH OF THE COMMANDMENT ADMITTED.
HAVE YOU STARTED LEAVING A GET?
THIS ACTUAL PROOF.
I'M TRYING THAT OCCURS TODAY.
WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT RESTROOMS BUT WE ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT
THIS TRUE EPIDEMIC OF RAPING KIDS BY A POWER STRUCTURE
THAT IS MADE TO DO JUST THAT.
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO START BELIEVING A?
WILL BELIEVE IT BECAUSE PATRICK ROY SAID SO AND BECAUSE
THERE IS A PERVERSE THINGS WITH THESE TRANSGENDER PEOPLE
WHO ARE JUST TRYING TO LIVE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DEFEND THE CHURCH.
I WAS BROUGHT UP CATHOLIC, 12 YEARS OF CATHOLIC SCHOOL
AND A LOT OF CATHOLIC PEOPLE I KNOW WHEN THEY DEFEND THE
CHURCH WILL SAY INCIDENTS OF ABUSE IS ANY HIGHER THAN IN
THE REST OF THE POPULATION AND I WILL SAY TWO THINGS TO THAT.
A, FANTASTIC.
YOUR RELIGION DOESN'T DO A THING FOR YOU, IT MAKES IT JUST
AS MESSED UP AS EVERYONE ELSE.
NUMBER TWO IT IS NOT THE ABUSE ITSELF IT IS THAT THE CHURCH
THEN COVERS UP FOR IT THAT THE PEOPLE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE
HOLIEST PEOPLE IN CARING ABOUT THEIR FLOCK WHAT THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE THE MOST VULNERABLE BE ABUSED IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE
AND THEN RE-ABUSES PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH
THE CHURCH.
IT IS NOT ABOUT THE INCIDENCE OF THE NUMBER OF
INCIDENCES, IT'S HOW THE CHURCH HANDLES IT AND HOW THEY DO IT?
THEY RE-VICTIMIZED THEM.
THEY USE ALL THEIR POWER NOT TO HELP PEOPLE BUT TO SCREW
PEOPLE OVER ON PURPOSE, THE PEOPLE WE LOOK TO HER
SUPPOSED TO BE HOLY DAIKON, SOMEONE WHO WEARS THEIR
PIETY OR THEIR RELIGION ON THEIR SLEEP AUTOMATICALLY BE
SUSPECT OF THAT PERSON BECAUSE THEY ARE FULL OF IT.
IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE HIGHER-UPS IN ONE OF YOUR
PRIESTS ABUSES SOMEONE, YOU CAN NECESSARILY STOP THAT FROM
HAPPENING THE FIRST TIME BUT THE SECOND YOU TAKE THAT PERSON AND
SAY WE WILL JUST MOVE INTO A DIFFERENT AREA, EVERY OTHER
ACT OF ABUSES ON YOU AT THAT POINT AND THEY WERE WILLING
TO LET IT JUST GO FROM PLACE TO PLACE, DOZENS, HUNDREDS,
THESE ARE, 569 PEOPLE OVER 1000 INCIDENTS, LOSING CASES IN
THE UNITED STATES OR WAS DOZENS AGAINST AN INDIVIDUAL
MEMBER AND LAWSUIT AFTER LAWSUIT BEING SETTLED.
THAT IS THE PROBLEM AS JIMMY POINTED OUT I WANT TO GIVE
YOU LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS INVESTIGATION
THOUGHT IN NOVEMBER GREG THOMPSON, THE ANGLICAN
BISHOP OF NEWCASTLE TOLD THE WORLD COMMISSION THAT
CONDUCTED ANGRY THAT PEOPLE OF POWER PROVIDED PROTECTION
DURING DECADES OF PEOPLE IN THE DIOCESE.
HE ALSO SAID THERE WERE CONSEQUENCES IF HE DID NOT
FOLLOW WITH SOME WITHIN THE DIOCESE WANTED HIM TO DO.
HE EVENTUALLY ENDED UP RESIGNING FROM HIS POSITION BECAUSE
HE FELT TARGETED BECAUSE HE WAS TAKING A MORE SERIOUS APPROACH
TO TRYING TO UNCOVER AND HAVE CONSEQUENCES FOR THE ABUSE.
THAT IS ANGLICAN CHURCH.
ADDITIONALLY LAST MONTH IT WAS TOLD THE AUSTRALIAN
CATHOLIC CHURCH PAID $212
MILLION IN COMPENSATION TO THOUSANDS OF VICTIMS SINCE 1980.
THEY HAD AN INVESTIGATION AND FOUND MORE THAN 4400
PEOPLE CLAIM TO HAVE BEEN ABUSED BY AUSTRALIAN CATHOLIC
CHURCH FIGURES DURING THE SAME 35 YEAR PERIOD.
YOU KNOW THERE'S ONLY 10,000 PEOPLE LIVE IN AUSTRALIA.
AM I WRONG ABOUT THAT?
IT'S CLOSE.
IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED SPOTLIGHT YET, YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT.
BOTH BECAUSE IT SHOWS YOU A REAL INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM
CAN ACCOMPLISH BUT THEN ALSO HOW IT CAN GO, HOW THEY PROTECT
THEM, HOW THEY SETTLED THE COURT CASES, HOW THEY SHUFFLED
THE PRIEST AROUND, WHY IT IS THAT SOME PEOPLE FEEL SO
MUCH PRESSURE NOT TO REVEAL WHAT IS HAPPENED TO THEM.
THEY GO INTO ALL THAT SPOTLIGHT YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY WATCH
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE SITUATION, AND ALSO HOW
WIDESPREAD IT IS THAT'S NOT JUST IN AUSTRALIA AND BOSTON.
THE SPOTLIGHT THEY SHOW WERE SOME OF THE LARGER SCANDALS HAVE
BEEN AND IT IS DOZENS AND DOZENS OF AMERICAN AND INTERNATIONAL
CITIES THAT I WILL BREAK YOUR HEART TO SEE THE LIST.
MY HOMETOWN IS ON THE LIST
