NY Bishop Claims Age of Consent Should be 7 Years Old

NY Bishop Claims Age of Consent Should be 7 Years Old
A New York Catholic bishop has claimed that pedophile priests shouldn’t be held responsible if they rape children aged 7 and over as he believes that young boys are “culpable” for their own actions.
By Jay Greenberg
Bishop Robert Cunningham of the diocese of Syracuse, NY stated that priests have been wrongly accused of sexual abuse against young boys for centuries saying that “at 7-years-old, children know what they’re doing, so it isn’t rape”.
Bishop Cunningham made the shocking statements in his testimony, that was recently released, during a deposition in a federal lawsuit for mass child abuse by pedophile priests.
Counter Current News reports: Charles Bailey, a survivor of a priest’s abuse, asked then-Bishop James Moynihan whether the church held children victims partly responsible for sexual abuse by priests.
“(Bishop) Moynihan said that right to my face – ‘The age of reason is 7, so if you’re at least 7 you’re culpable for your actions.’ That kind of floored me,” said Bailey.
Obviously, the sentiment isn’t something one Bishop believes, but a broader excuse used to cover the guilt of sexual predators.
The “age of reason” may be seven years old, but that in no way makes it the “age it’s the kid’s fault he was raped.”
According to church doctrine, seven is the age a child should understand the difference between right and wrong.
It’s also the age a child is eligible for communion.
A spokesman for the diocese has been trying to defend the bishop, saying that his statements in a deposition don’t mean he believes children are responsible for being raped and that it was “unfair to use the deposition to characterize his position otherwise.”
“Unfair” may not quite cut it where this man is concerned.
When pressed on the issue, he said it wasn’t his place to know how much guilt was on the victim’s hands.
The simple answer, “none,” became another distorted version of reality that somehow makes it at least partially a child’s fault when a priest abuses him.
“Well, I mean, without knowing the circumstances completely, did the boy encourage, go along with (it) in any way?” Cunningham asked.
The lawyer asked Cunningham if he could imagine any circumstance in which a 14 or 15-year-old boy could be held responsible in the eyes of the church when a priest asks him to engage in sex.
“Obviously, what the priest did was wrong,” Cunningham said. “You’re asking me if the young man had any culpability, and I can’t judge that.”
Actually, you can judge that. Anyone can judge that.
What happened is priests used their influence and position as “messengers of God” to force children to comply with their perverted sexual desires.
In the very least they were forced to make adult decisions they didn’t have the capacity to make.
This bishop and all the priests he defended with this mindless argument betrayed the trust of the parishioners and especially the children of the Diocese of Syracuse.
Charles Bailey has circulated a petition he intends to present to Pope Francis in Philadelphia during his visit to remove Bishop Cunningham as the head of the church there.

E. Michael Jones on why the Pope should resign; Brian Ruhe continues the conversation on religion and sexuality
August 31, 2018 Kevin Barrett
https://kevinbarrett.heresycentral.c...8-26-thumb.png
First hour: E. Michael Jones, editor of Culture Wars magazine, argues that Pope Francis ought to become the second pope in a little over five years to resign. Such calls for the Pope’s resignation have followed the release of a letter by Archbishop Vigano accusing Francis of removing papal sanctions imposed by his predecessor, Benedict, against credibly-accused sexual predator and ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick—despite knowing about McCarrick’s wide-ranging depradations. (Vigano says he forcefully told Francis about McCarrick’s history of wide-ranging sexual abuse, and even handed Francis a detailed dossier…and yet Francis essentially rehabilitated McCarrick!)

Mike Jones and I met in Tehran, where Mike seemingly “predicted” Pope Benedict’s resignation just hours before it was reported. Was Francis elevated to the Papacy to front for a cabal of “sexual freemasons“? I first heard that rumor even before Francis was elected Pope. As I wrote in “Pope Benedict Fired by the Knights of Malta?“: “Here’s the hot rumor going around Italy, passed to me by journalist Roberto Quaglia: Pope Benedict was fired in order to pave the way for a new Pope who will sanction homosexual marriage, non-celibate priests, and other projects aimed at sexualizing and de-sacralizing the Church. According to this analysis, the judeo-freemasonic secret societies responsible for Vatican II have been pushing Benedict to allow gay marriage and a sex-lovin’ priesthood – but Benedict’s eternal response is ‘not on my watch!’ So, goeth the rumor, they ended Benedict’s watch.”
Will Catholics who don’t want the Church to turn into a gigantic freemasonic gay bar succeed in taking back the Vatican?

Brian Ruhe Second hour: Ellen Brown was planning to discuss her latest article “Banks Are Becoming Obsolete in China—Could the U.S. Be Next?” We were also planning to discuss the coming annihilation of the US dollar which is being led by Russia and China. Will the end of dollar hegemony crash the US economy? Is it just a coincidence that just hours after Russia declared all-out war on the US dollar, the Russian Central Bank suddenly and mysteriously went up in flames?
Unfortunately I was unable to connect with Ellen. So that show will have to wait. Instead, I wound up bringing on Buddhist Studies teacher Brian Ruhe to continue the first hour discussion of religion and sexuality.

The good news she gets it in the end
Revelation 18:8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

His funeral is still going, being flown back to DC on Air Force 2 as I type. It's almost like a mini series for a traitor...

The pope and the catholic church represent christ/st peter's legacy. Opposing them, you've got the talimudic jews who represent the pharisees which killed christ.
We saw several things just go down:
1) The central bank of Italy declined all electronic payments from the vatican, due to "failure to comply with EU safeguards against money laundering".
2) The secretary of the vatican (vatican bank head) released incriminating evidence to the authorities, triggering an investigation.
3) Of the new pope candidate waiting in the wings, "In October 2011 Cardinal Peter Turkson called for the establishment of a “global public authority” and a “central world bank” to rule over financial institutions"
What we're whitnessing is the talimudic zionist jews, after 2000 years, finally consuming the catholic church.
The last pope is dead. This is how he was forced to resign almost 10 years ago…
