Lawyer: More Suits Against Church By Jennifer Peter - Boston AP - 5/4/02 - Attorneys promised renewed legal action against the Archdiocese of Boston on Saturday after the church backed out of a multimillion-dollar settlement with alleged victims of a pedophile priest. Attorney Mitchell Garabedian, who negotiated the $15 million to $30 million settlement for 86 clients, said he will ask a judge Monday to approve the swift deposition of Cardinal Bernard Law, which was delayed when the settlement was agreed to in March. He said he also would ask the judge to restrain Law from leaving the country....Law had encouraged the Finance Council to endorse the settlement, according to a spokeswoman....The Archdiocese of Detroit has given prosecutors internal records concerning 51 priests, two deacons and a religious brother accused of sexual misconduct in the last 15 years." from AOL Priest kept working after abuse cases - 05/04/02 - By Brooks Egerton - The Dallas Morning News "In the annals of clergy sexual abuse, the Rev. Norman Rogge is a familiar character....What makes the 77-year-old former Dallas priest unusual is that he has been criminally prosecuted twice for child molestation. He pleaded guilty the first time and no contest the second. And – as some Catholic leaders are calling for a "one-strike" abuse policy and priests are being removed from ministry almost daily – Father Rogge remains in good standing, working at a Jesuit retirement home in New Orleans." http://www.dallasnews.com/latestnews/stories/050402dnmetjesuit.10625.html Belgium's X-Files - An Olenka Frenkiel Investigation - 5/2/02 - The case of abduction and murder against Belgium's infamous paedophile Marc Dutroux remains unresolved. He has not been brought to book for these heinous crimes. There appears to be a steel veil drawn over the facts at the highest level and no one is prepared to expose those involved in this blatant cover-up.

By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF If there was a form of government that produced autocrats who sponsored terrorism, stole millions of dollars while impoverishing their citizens, shredded public education and health, permitted child bondage, tortured dissidents and tolerated pogroms against minorities, then we would all condemn it. Except that in South Asia such a system is called democracy. That's what makes this week's election in Pakistan so fascinating. President Bush has winked as Gen. Pervez Musharraf steamrolled over a democratic system so as to maintain the army's hold on power. Mr. Bush's stance is hypocritical and threatens to undermine everything we stand for — except that, frankly, General Musharraf has done better in governing Pakistan than his democratic predecessors have.....a poll last fall found that 82 percent of urban Pakistanis regard Osama bin Laden as a freedom fighter. Pakistan's intelligence agency is responsible for more terrorist killings than Al Qaeda. The country has been on the edge of bankruptcy, 55 percent of adults are illiterate, 10 percent of children die by the age of 5, and there are more drug addicts than college graduates. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
