Cardinals Donald Wuerl and Timothy Dolan sought to deceive you, by twisting the abuse statistics

         Covering Up the Long-term Sexual Abuse Scandal
                       by means of distorting the statistics
Bishops who serve mammon (material wealth) distort the image of the church.
A trick of the more unconscionable members of the hierarchy is to make
the sexual abuse of minors look like a common societal occurrence.  The
con game consists in claiming that persons of all industries, professions,
and walks of life sexually abuse youth with a frequency no less than that
of Catholic priests of recent decades.  There is need to clean-up the Vati-
can II church, and not lie to the public about unconscionable manipulat-
ors who decided to use the economic security of the Western church, to
live the life of a criminal.

Dolan:  Quintessential Cover-up Artist of Double-life Priests

Timothy Dolan of New York went as far as claiming that teachers molest
youths ten times more often than do Roman Rite priests.  In fact, he stat-
ed that parents have molested their own children more often than priests
did.  This pair of statements is completely invalid, because there are ex-
cessively more teachers and parents in existence than there are priests.
That is to say, it's the per capita percentage that determines which sec-
tor of society is the one most dominant in scarring the lives of children
and adolescents.

There are, at present, approximately 41,500 Catholic priests in active
ministry throughout the United States.  In contrast, there are 1,729,000
kindergarten and elementary school teachers in the same nation.  In fact,
there are 2,388,500 American teachers when you add middle school,
and there are 3,476,200 school teachers in the U.S. when you add se-
condary school teachers.  In light of this, keep in mind that secondary
school is attended by youth mostly under the age of 18.  Now, com-
pare the number 2,388,500 to the number 41,500.  In fact, look at
the stats again:

 K-8 School Teachers   2,388,500
Active Catholic Priests      41,500   Is your intelligence insulted yet?

K-12 School Teachers  3,476,200   Do you see how Dolan thinks
Active Catholic Priests      41,500   that Americans are gullible?

Now for the Unconscionable Manipulator, Cardinal Donald Wuerl

Wuerl was once a guest writer for the Washington Post.  In his guest
article, he stated that 65,964 youths across the US were sexually abused
in 2009.  He then stated that this was a sobering number, making himself
look like a caring man.  Wuerl also made it look as if there were a pan-
demic of sexual abuse transpiring throughout the United States, as if all
walks of life were regularly engaging in the sexual abuse of youth.  Of
course, Wuerl made it look as if the sexual crimes of  priests were not
disproportionate to those of the rest of the population.

Of course, Wuerl failed to delineate the types of sexual abuse, as well as
the age group distribution thereof, as well as the general demography of
sexual abusers.  Nor did Wuerl state ratios and percentages.  This means
that Wuerl is either a lazy journalist or a deliberate deceiver who wants
the facts to be  hidden from you.  Very simply, Wuerl failed to state that
there were 65,964 youths reported as having been sexually abused in a
nation of 74,500,000 youths under the age of 18.

This means that 0.000885 of America's youths were reported as having
been sexually abused during the Year 2009.   This translates into 1 out 
of every 1,127 youths.  This also translates into an approximate .09%
of the minors in a nation the size of a continent..  Now, this is NOT 9%
of the youth.  Nor is this even .9% of the youth.  Rather, it's  .09%.   
 That is "Point zero nine percent."   Observe:
  
U.S. youths between 0 -17 years of age ................ 74,500,000
     Youths reported as sexually abused in 2009 ........... 65,964
        Youths NOT reported as sexually abused ..... 74,434,036

Visualize this once again:

                       NOT sexually abused: 74.434  
                                 sexually abused: 00.066  ...  1 in 1,127.

According to the John Jay Report, 1 in 25 priests were sexually abus-
ive between 1950 and 2002Then, according to the 2010 Condon In-
vestigation, 1 in 1,095 NYC public school teachers transgressed the
boundaries in varying types of improprieties, from verbal abuse to con-
sensual activities to outright criminal conduct In light of this, compare
(1 in 1,127) to (1 in 1,095) to (1 in 25.)  The rate of modern priest
abuse is much higher.  Donald Wuerl was playing a con game with the
Washington Post article.  Everything about him and from him is a lie.

Finding a sex abuse victim is somewhat like finding a needle in a bail of
hay, as opposed finding it in an entire haystack.  Wuerl made it look as
if there were a young sex abuse victim on every block in every town in
America.  Predators are much easier to encounter, being that they will
hunt for youth, by targeting the places that the young frequent, such as
CATHOLIC CHURCHES.  In as much, Wuerl exaggerated, in using
an unconscionable diversionary tactic.

http://www.childstats.gov/americaschildren/tables/pop1.asp

In his article, Donald Wuerl gave tips on what to do.  However, all the
tips were garden variety and common knowledge.   He contributed no-
thing new.  This is another indication that his intention was to create a
diversionary tactic and not to give rarely known expert knowledge. 

Proof that This Was a Deliberate Diversionary Tactic

The article made the deceptive archbishop look like a caring man who
stepped up to the plate to offer expertise on the subject, even though
he gave only common knowledge in his tips.  Wuerl's ill intent is prov-
en in the fact that he neglected to mention the statistical numbers of ne-
glected youth ... of those left to experience hunger pangs and loneliness
on a regular basis.  So, why did Wuerl mention the sex abuse casualties
and not the casualties of neglect?  Some neglect cases end up as fatal-
ities.  These cases are heart rending, yet Wuerl seems to care not.

The probable answer as to why Wuerl kept silent about the other forms
of abuse is that disclosing their numbers will make sexual abuse look like
much less of an occurrence.   In the process, Wuerl's diversionary tactic
will have less impact when people realize that the sexual abuse of youths
is not the pandemic Wuerl made it out to be.   In as much, here are the
2009 stats on the other forms of child abuse:

Neglect  ...................................  543,035  Wuerl was silent about this.
Physical Abuse  .......................  123,599  Wuerl ignored this one, too.
Other Abuse  ............................    66,487  He never defined what this is.
Sexual Abuse  ..........................    65,964  .09% of total youth in the US.
Psychological Maltreatment  ...    52,532  This is shear terror to a youth.
Medical Neglect .......................   16,837  This is like physical abuse.

Wuerl also IGNORED the millions of youths locked in sweatshop labor,
slave field work, and even military service throughout the world.  This
number is the highest of all forms of abuse.

In his relatively recent Washington Post article, Cardinal Donald Wuerl's
apparent objective, so it seems, was to use the Washington Post as his
dupe, in order to divert attention away from the inordinately high number
of molester priests in the Vatican II and 1950s Church, making it look as
if  "everyone on earth is doing it" when it comes to sexually abusing the
youth of America.  Well, everybody's not doing it.

Firstly, it is a completely unnatural act not common to humanity.  This
means that, in order to do such a thing, a person had to already been per-
verted in his senses.  Therefore, it isn't a common occurrence for youth
to be molested, as Wuerl was making it out to be.  God never gives car-
dinals the grace to lie successfully.  Betrone's debacle, in defaming An-
tonio Socci, is a case in point, as well as Sodano's covering up the worst
molester in the history of the Catholic Church, Marciel Maciel.

There was one more thing that the article had the effect of doing.  It also
served as a diversion to the adult homosexual activity between seminari-
ans, priests, bishops, and lay religious members known as brothers.

The evil of the 20th Century priesthood was prophesied in the church-
approved Marian apparition of Quito, Ecuador.  None the less, Wuerl's
guest article also diverted attention away from the seminarians who
were sexually harassed and even assaulted. 

Another sign that the Tiny Statured Donald Wuerl
Deliberately Performed a Diversionary Tactic

The first paragraph of Wuerl's article comprises three sentences and one
introductory heading.  Yet, Wuerl obsessively posted the same one web
link three times in that one small paragraph.   The redundancy was a bla-
tant give-away, revealing an individual who wanted the reader to go to
that particular site only.   The problem with the web link which Wuerl
provided is that it takes you to the main page, and not to the exact page
were one can view the number 65,964.   Therefore, in his article, Wuerl
puts the reader on a wild goose chase. 

A Manipulation and then a Blatant Folly in the Same Paragraph

Cardinal Wuerl stated that many parents were clueless that their children
are even at risk in their own neighborhoods.   Well, according to the true
statistics, it isn't probable that children are regularly in danger in their own
neighborhoods.  Therefore, Wuerl is marketing fear, thereby diverting at-
tention away from molester priests.  However, it is true that parents and
legal guardians are sometimes the assailants.  Wuerl's article never admits
this.  He makes it sound as if men hiding behind trees are in every neigh-
borhood ready to molest untold numbers of children.  Therefore, Wuerl
presented a propaganda article and not an informative one. 

An Additional Propagandist's Lie Told about Wuerl

It was falsely stated at another site that Wuerl had a strong sexual abuse
policy for 25 years.   Firstly, there was Donald Wuerl's triple cover-up
of Wolk, Pucci, and Zula.   There was the re-admittance into the minis-
try of John Hoehl.  There was also the musical chairs cover-up played
with Edward Huff, between St. Louis and Pittsburgh.

Even at the start of the Year 2002, Wuerl had "several" priests in active
ministry who had credible allegations of sexual abuse attached to them.
He gave those priests free rein until the media exploded with news of
the many cover-ups of Catholic bishops.  Even before the Year 2002,
there was the evidence-based Torquato Retaliation that Wuerl ratified.
Furthermore, recent info gave the Wellinger case more impact.  Plus,
there was the Henry Krawczyk case and the Pitt football player who
died suddenly and drunkenly in a Pittsburgh diocesan church.  Next
on the list is the Vincentian High School allegations.  And who knows
what else is hidden in the trail of the tinsel town narcissist, Wuerl.

The Other Deception in Guest Writer Wuerl's Article

The other deception in the guest article was Wuerl's photograph.  The
angle of the shot was a steep incline.  This means that it looked as if
a photographer of average height photographed a 6'2" person.   Thus,
in his disingenuous sleight of hand article, the 5'4" Donald Wuerl was
trying to make himself look like a giant among men.   Wuerl has ob-
sessed himself with looker much taller in his photos than he is in real
life.  In a very recent photo, for example, the photographer was eith-
er on his knees or sitting on the floor when photographing Wuerl.
This shows that the 71year old Wuerl never grew up and matured.
Incidentally, the Washington Post described Wuerl as "a slight man." 

A Communist under Every Bed Trick

Wuerl, in his guest article, was basically doing what Joseph McCarthy
did in the 1950s.   Things became so ridiculous during the McCarthy
era that the snide slogan was:  "A communist under every bed and 
in every government office."  Wuerl and Dolan were trying to de-
ceive you into thinking that a molester of youth was on every street
corner and in every classroom.

The distrust extended toward priests came from the fact that the sexual-
ly abusive ones broke their vows of chastity in the most violent of ways,
and then smugly got away with their crimes a lot of the times, due to the
various bishops without consciences.  How many priests went through
the ordination process while having zero intent to honor their vows?
Such a thing constitutes fraud.  Actually, it constitutes Lack of Proper
Intent, something that invalidates the ordination process.  Such a per-
son isn't a priest and has zero power to absolve from sin or consecrate
a host.

Back to the Audacity of Archbishop Dolan

In the Year 2008, there were 35.7 million households that had children
living in them under the age of 18.  Therefore, 74.5 million youths live in
one of 35.7 million homes.  There are approximately 53.5 million youth
under 14 years of age estimated to be living in approximately 27.7 mil-
lion households.   Therefore, at least 27.7 million American adults are in
close proximity to youths under the age of 14, serving in the capacity of
parent or guardian.  At this point compare the ratio of teachers, parents,
and guardians to Catholic priests.    In light of the fact that some of these
teachers are also parents, we subtract the number of teachers, for the
sake of obtaining a general ball park figure.

Parents or Guardians of Children under 14:  at least 27,700,000
MINUS K-8 School Teachers as of 2008:                2,388,500
                                                   TOTAL:  at least  25,312,500
                                                                                          vs
                   Active Catholic Priests today:                      41,500

  Parents or Guardians of Children under 18 at least 35,700,000
MINUS K-12 School Teachers as of 2008:                   3,476,200
                                                      TOTAL:   at least   32,233,800
                                                                                                vs
                                                                                            41,500

In approximate figures, there were at least 32 million people in proxim-
ity to youths under 18 years of age, on a daily basis.  In 2009, approx-
imately 66,000 minors were reported as having been sexually abused.
This means that, at the very most, 1 in 484 teachers, parents, and 
legal guardians were reported as having sexually abused youths un-
der the age of 18, in the Year 2009.  However, a number of house-
holds have both parents in them, making the actual probability of
teacher/parent sexual abuse much lower, such as 1 in 600 or 750.
Keep in mind that in 2010, the NYC public school teacher ratio
was 1 in 1,095.

In contrast, the unsubstantiated & uncertified John Jay report set forth
statistics that amount to 1 in 25 priests having sexually abused youths
from 1950 to 2002.  This concerns the United States only.  Of course,
in stating that the John Jay report was uncertified as to its data's accur-
acy, there was conjecture that some of the reported abusers were not
counted, meaning that the true ratio might be 1 in 24 or even more con-
centrated.   At the least, we have a ballpark figure, even if the bishops
were dishonest in supplying the statistical data.

In the deceivers Dolan and Wuerl we once again see the truth in John
Chrysostom stating that the Road to Hell is paved with the skulls of
bishops.  This includes 5'4" effeminate bishops known for retaliatory
conduct and who obsessively spent decades deceiving humanity into
thinking that they are tall, intimidating, & aesthetic Rocks of Gibraltar.

Incidentally, it was revealed by a Pittsburgh diocesan proof reader that
the most expected complaint to hear from Pittsburgh diocesan priests,
against Donald Wuerl, was, "Why did he get to be a bishop, and not 
any one of us?"   The answer is that you other priests were not the per-
sonal secretary of the notorious John Cardinal Wright, the alleged homo-
sexual who had personal testimony narrated about his him so detailed
that it will destroy your appetite for the rest of the day or night.

Wuerl is connected directly to Wright, meaning that, if it were not for
Wright, Wuerl would never has risen through the ranks of the church
during one of the most disgraceful times for the hierarchy in Catholic
Church.  They rival or exceeded the evils of Sergius III, John XII, and
Benedict IX of the Tenth and Eleventh Centuries.  This very difficult to
achieve.  None the less, when it came to  accomplishing evil, today's
generation of bishops excelled.  After all, they protected Maciel for
years.

================================================

A continuation on how Wuerl and Dolan sought to deceive America:

The Catholic Church needs a housecleaning ... not diversionary tactics.
Archbishop Timothy Dolan, in his unequivocal arrogance, claimed that
teachers molested minors ten times more than did priests.  When asked
for his bibliographical source in his bold assertion, a spokesperson said
that it was a NYS Special Commissioner of Investigation report that 
substantiated 78 abuse cases by teachers in 2009, and 73 such cases 
last year.  The source was the Richard J. Condon Investigation for the
NYC School District whose 2010 issue is found at:

http://www.nycsci.org/public/01-11%20Statistics%202010.pdf

Now observe The New York City School District has 1,700 schools
that educate over 1,100,000 students.  The Catholic Church in the New
York archdiocese has 279 Catholic schools that educate approximately
83,000 students.  The New York City School District has approximate-
ly 80,000 active teachers.  The NYC archdiocese, on the other hand,
has 1,783 priests operating throughout it, in active ministry.  This means
that, for every one priest operating in the New York archdiocese, there
are 44 teachers employed by the NYC School District.  That's a ratio
of 44 to1.

Moreover, the 73 substantiated cases included consensual relations be-
tween teachers and students who have reached the age of consent.  It
also included verbal sexual harassment, and perhaps even showing in-
appropriate movies to youth.  Dolan deceived the public into instantan-
eously assuming that there existed 73 cases of physically invasive and
non-consensual contact with matriculated minors in the NYC school
district.

Now, a part of the 73 cases did involve criminal acts with underage stu-
dents, including consensual relationships with students under the age of
consent.   But, Dolan did not make any qualifying statement in relation
to this fact.  He made zero differentiation.  He exaggerated.

Visually observe the statistical ratio of 2010 NYC teacher impropriety
cases versus the entire student body population of the New York City
School District.  Keep in mind that there are 279 Catholic schools in
the ten countywide Archdiocese of New York versus the NYCSD's
1,700 schools, and that there are 44 secular New York area teachers
for every priest operating throughout the NYC archdiocese.

Total Number of NYC School District Students in 2010:   1,100,000
Total Number of substantial sexual impropriety cases:                   73

Students enrolled at Archdiocese of NY Schools in 2010:       83,000

Number of NYC School District TEACHERS in 2010:           80,000
Number of substantial sexual impropriety cases in 2010:                73

Ladies and gentlemen, in the Year 2010, only 1 out of 1,095  NYC
school teachers were substantially found to have gone out of bounds,
in varying degrees sexual abuse, ranging from verbal abuse to conduct
recognized as criminal activity in the State of New York.  This means
that some of the teachers' actions were equivalent to a Tropical Storm,
while the conduct of other ones was equivalent to a Category 4 Hur-
ricane.  In addition, keep in mind that there are almost as many NYC
area public school TEACHERS as there as Archdiocese of New York
Catholic School STUDENTS.  Now compare the long-term statistics
of American priest sexual abuse to New York City school teachers'
sexual impropriety in the Year 2010.

American priest sexual abusers between 1950 and 2002:    1 in .... 25.
NYC teachers transgressing in varying degrees in 2010    1 in 1,095.

                                               Number of NYCSD schools:       1,700.
          Approximate Number of Archdiocese of NY schools:       280. 

                             Number of Archdiocese of NY parishes:         370.

                                             Number of NYCSD teachers:      80,000.
                    Number of active priests in NYC archdiocese:       1,783.

           http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/diocese/dnewy.html

When you make an allegation as brazen as did Timothy Dolan, you are
obligated to produce concise statistics.  He needed to produce the num-
ber of teachers employed by the NYC School District between 1950 to
2002, along with the number of school students who suffered substanti-
ated sexual abuse in the specific degrees of intensity they suffered them.

With the statistics made available, it is ascertained that Dolan lied.  Such
a lie constitutes the Invasion of Privacy in a False Light, as well as Defa-
mation against the NYC School District and its teachers.   False Light,
incidentally, consists in taking a photograph or a set of statistics out of
context.  Dolan did no less than incite animosity and even a McCarthy-
type witch hunt against New York City teachers.

A tree is known by its fruits.  Dolan denied that he deliberately removed
$130,000,000 from Archdiocese of Milwaukee bank accounts, in only
two sets of transfers, shortly after two pivotal court rulings were entered
into law.  He said it was a coincidence.

If this is new to you, know that Timothy Dolan was once the archbishop
of Milwaukee, where he played Abra Kadabra and Alakazam with over
a hundred million of dollars when the Milwaukee archdiocese was met
with lawsuits.  He claimed that the financial repositioning was coinciden-
tal.  However, there is no such thing as coincidences, when more than
two intersecting events occur.  In the Milwaukee case, there was the in-
tersecting of four events ... two court adjudications and two large money
transfers.  The American dollar should no longer have George Washing-
ton's picture on it, stating "In God We Trust."  Rather, it would be more
fitting to have Harry Houdini's picture on it, with the caption, "Now you 
see it.  Now you don't  ... especially when Timothy Dolan gets his 
hands on it."  It has been a pea & shell game.
