A Dutch current affairs programme has uncovered evidence that in 1958 the Netherlands’ Catholic Church hierarchy was told that children were being physically and sexually abused in its institutions.
The evidence is contained in a letter found in the archives of the Catholic child protection services. The letter was written by a judge who warned the board of the child protection services that clerics were sexually abusing children.
The board took action and sent various letters to the boards of institutions to warn them. The confidential letters mentioned a black list of abusers. But the church hierarchy failed to take steps to stop the abuse.

It is becoming more and more evident that several Popes and all of the Hierarchy of the Catholic Church, regardless of nation, knew about perverted, Pedophile Priests, who were abusing, raping and sodomizing children and teenagers of BOTH sexes. Their number one goal was to silence the abusers thru threats of excommunication and being ostracized in their communities for "Bringing SCANDAL against the Church. To this aim, in 1982, the Pope, John Paul II sent out a letter called, "Crimen Sollicitationis," to ALL bishops of the world, instructing them on how they should handle cases of abuse! This letter can be found in several languages on the Internet. Please read it and spread it around, as it shows exactly what the Church knew from the Vatican on down thru the Hierarchy. Don't let the Church fool you. Everyone knew!
