Lawyers for Boston Archdiocese Subpoena Alleged Victims' Therapists - Boston 1/17/03 - "Lawyers for the Boston Archdiocese, which offered to pay for counseling for people who say they were abused by priests, have begun issuing subpoenas to the therapists to get details about the sessions.The subpoenas issued this week require therapists to answer questions under oath about the counseling, a move that has outraged alleged victims and their lawyers. "As a moral institution, the church has touted how much it wants to take care of the victims," said Roderick MacLeish Jr., an attorney who represents more than 200 alleged victims. "Well, don't be touting your pastoral mission of how you're helping victims and then destroy the key element of treatment, which is confidentiality."" http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,75918,00.html
The Battle for Your Brain by Ronald Bailey 2/03 - "...Last May the Dana Foundation sponsored an entire conference at Stanford on "neuroethics." Conferees deliberated over issues like the moral questions raised by new brain scanning techniques, which some believe will lead to the creation of truly effective lie detectors. Participants noted that scanners might also be able to pinpoint brain abnormalities in those accused of breaking the law, thus changing our perceptions of guilt and innocence. Most nightmarishly, some worried that governments could one day use brain implants to monitor and perhaps even control citizens' behavior." http://www.reason.com/0302/fe.rb.the.shtml
Maltreatment at an early age can have enduring negative effects on a child's brain development and function the Neurobiology of Child Abuse by Martin H. Teicher "More than Three Million Allegations of Childhood Abuse and Neglect are received every year...Our findings dovetailed with a 1978 EEG study of adults who were victims of incest. The study's author, Robert W. Davies of the Yale University School of Medicine, and his team had found that 77 percent exhibited EEG abnormalities and 27 percent experienced seizures. Subsequent work by other investigators using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology has confirmed an association between early maltreatment and reductions in the size of the adult hippocampus. The amygdala may be smaller as well. In 1997 J. Douglas Bremner, then at the Yale University School of Medicine, and his colleagues compared MRI scans of 17 adult survivors of childhood physical or sexual abuse, all of whom had posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with 17 healthy subjects matched for age, sex, race, handedness, years of ed-ucation, and years of alcohol abuse. The left hippocampus of abused patients with PTSD was, on average, 12 percent smaller than the hippocampus of the healthy control subjects, but the right hippocampus was of normal size." http://www.sciamarchive.org/pdfs/1482882.pdf
from L Moss Sharman Algoma Anglicans expected to support settlement Could contribute $725,000 towards $25M fund By Brian Kelly 1/20/03 "Delegates attending a general meeting of the Anglican church's Algoma Diocese in Sault Ste. Marie this week are expected to endorse an Indian residential schools litigation settlement. Part of the agreement, reached in November with the federal government, will see the establishment of a $25-million settlement fund by the Anglican Church of Canada to pay awards to victims of sexual or physical abuse in residential schools....An estimated 90,000-plus aboriginal children, aged six and older, attended live-in schools, such as Shingwauk Indian Residential School in the Sault, from 1930 until the last one closed in Regina in 1996. More than 4,500 lawsuits representing at least 12,000 claimants have been launched since the federal government officially apologized in 1998 for widespread abuse. The Anglican church operated 26 of the 80 schools and has been named by more than 2,100 plaintiffs." http://www.saultstar.com/webapp/sitepages/content.asp?contentid=19997&catname=Local+News
The Real Odessa (US edition) How Peron Brought the Nazi War Criminals to Argentina By Uki Goñi "The Nazi-smuggling operation to Argentina run by Father Dragnovic from his church in Rome lies at the heart of the allegations that there was full Papal cognizance of such a network. The Croatian Confraternity of San Girolamo had a long Papal association....as American intelligence already knew, Dragnovic's work was ‘well known to the Vatican Secretariat of State'." Which saw it in an unfavorable light, but did not close it down. P. 341 - 342 Pub. Granta Books, London - New York - ISBN 1 86207 581 6
