I was age five when the bishop stood over me and said, "Stop babbling about what the priest did to you." Then, forty years later... I started babbling.

Oh, Come On, Levada! Vatican Knew in 1950s It Had a Pedophile Priest Problem. Read Proof in Documents Here

On Alternet now:

“I didn’t known about it,” said Cardinal William Levada on PBS last night and then the interviewer let him rehash talking points Church leaders have repeated in interviews for years about the handling of pedophiles: There’s predators in public schools too, they say, besides, it was the 1960s and free love invaded the Church. And my favorite excuse: American news media is biased against Catholics. When in reality corporate news outlets shiver in fear of offending Catholics and in many cities news media took part in the cover-up by agreeing not to report the crimes, as the scandal first began to break.
Truth is Servants of the Paracletes in New Mexico started dealing with pedophile priests in the 1950s. Bishops and monsignors all the way to the Pope corresponded about the problem, as documents linked below show.
Truth is the pattern of crime was the same in every archdiocese in the country and, now we are finding out, all over the world. Pedophile Catholic priests preyed on parish children while monsignors and bishops looked the other way. Yet every news outlet reports it as truth when every bishop gives the same answer, “I had no idea pedophilia was going on.”
Information we link below shows that as far back as the 1950s, the Church knew, all the way to the Pope, that it had a pedophile problem.
The documents about Servants of the Paracletes been available at City of Angels since June 2008. \
