Catholic League: Satan Molested All Those Kids in Pennsylvania
By Hemant Mehta
August 31, 2018
The Catholic Leagues Bill Donohue has been on a tear lately trying to discredit the Pennsylvania grand jurys report documenting hundreds of examples of Catholic Church leaders sexually abusing children.
Hes argued a lot of it shouldnt even count since some victims werent penetrated and many werent even pre-pubescent. Hes said sexual abuse occurs elsewhere, so the Churchs scandals arent really that big a deal. He said most of the abuses didnt occur in the past few years, so everyone needs to lay off. He said Church leaders deserve credit for all the children who werent molested.
And since none of that is working, hes trying once again. This time, hes blaming Satan for making the pedophile priests do all those horrible things.

"
I sing this song to honour all the forgotten Innocents. I grew up and into a society that was riddled with the concept of sin and shame.We hung our heads in silence, ignorant in our adherence to the corrupt church that wielded such fearful power over us. I was terrified of them for a while.
That Joni Mitchell could write such a beautiful song about such tragedy and cruelty is, in itself,truly a wonder."
Magdalene Launderies
Joni Mitchell
Joanie was an unmarried girl just turned twenty-seven
when they sent her to the sisters because of the way men looked at her.
Branded as a jezebel she knew she was not bound for heaven,
she had been cast in shame into the Magdalen launderies.
Most girls went there pregnant some by their own fathers.
Bridget got her belly from the Parish Priest.
Theyre trying to wash things as white as snow,all of those woe-begotten daughters
in the steaming stains of the Magdalen launderies.
Prostitutes and destitutes and temptresses like Joanie.
Fallen women sentenced into dreamless drudgery.
Why do the call this place Our Lady Of Charity?
Of Charity?
These bloodless brides of Jesus if they could just once glimpse their groom.
Theyd drop the stones concealed behind their rosaries.
They wilt the grass they walk upon they leech the light out of a room.
Theyd like to wash those girls down the drains of The Magdalene Launderies.
Peg OConnell died today.She was a cheeky girl,they stuffed her in a hole.
Surely to God youd think at least some bells should ring.
Joanie thinks shell die there too and that theyll tramp her in the dirt,
like some lame bulb that never will bloom when the springtime comes.
when the springtime comes.
