More Child Abuse Scandals Within The Catholic Church

The Catholic Church likes to pride itself on being the protector of children, though we all know they seem more concerned with protecting child-raping priests, their image, and their all-important bank account.

But recently, the Church hired  what they dubbed a "child protection official" to monitor church groups to ensure pedophiles did not gain access to children in the church’s congregations. Notice, though, he wasn't monitoring the Church, just church groups; the Catholic Church is still protecting pedophile priests.


At any rate, that "child protection "official", Christopher Jarvis, a married father of four, has been caught uploading pictures of children being abused to a website, and of having over 4,000 pictures of child pornography on his home computers.

This is who the Church put their faith in to protect children. Just more of the same.
Jarvis has admitted to 12 counts of making, ­possessing and distributing indecent ­images  and is likely to face jail when he returns to court for sentencing next month.

Church spokesman ­David Pond said: “Mr Jarvis was suspended from his position as soon as the diocese became aware in March of the police investigation. The Bishop took that action and since then the Church has worked closely with the police.”

Nice to see a church official stand up and do what's right to these pedophiles, but, one has to wonder, would the Bishop have turned the man in, called the police, and worked with authorities, if the possessor of that child porn was a priest?
