(By Tom Cohen, CNN, August 25, 2011)
"A total of 250 clerics in the Boston Archdiocese have been accused of child abuse in recent decades, according to information made public Thursday by Cardinal Sean O'Malley in an attempt to help resolve an issue tearing at the core of Catholicism.
O'Malley said the archdiocese posted online the names of 159 accused clergy members, while there were 91 others who also faced some level of accusation but were not named for various reasons.
An investigation that began after the crisis over sexual abuse of children in the Boston Archdiocese fully emerged in 2002 has pored over records dating back more than 60 years, with subsequent decisions on who to name based on the nature of the accusations and other factors, according to O'Malley.
The disclosure by the Boston Archdiocese represented a shift in policy in a further effort to reach out to victims and their families harmed by the sexual abuse scandal, O'Malley said in a seven-page letter accompanying the announcement."

Now the spirit of iniquity is the same today as it has been for thousands of years and if there are 250 priests in one diocese alone, it is a frightening thought how many priests are involved in child abuse worldwide.
To be able to bring a greater understanding of the many issues involving religion and sexual abuse in the churches, we have listed a number of questions that people should be asking themselves. We have also listed the appropriate articles on our website that will provide answers to these questions.
All of the other pages and articles listed on our website explain how this whole world has been deceived as confirmed by the Word of God in Revelation 12:9. The Bible is true in all things and is the discerner of every thought and the intent of the heart (Hebrews 5:12).
