Anglican archbishop, once a Catholic priest, tells of abuse as seminarian

This is a scam! I was severely bullied - never abused -, in my Christian background, during my early teens. I was week, but at 15 I promised myself to face the bullys: when I went to a private school, all new pupils were subjected to a initation practice: being thrown to a pound. I've promised to myself: never again. And I stood in the yard,looking into the eyes of the eldest: I looked so hard, that they gave up. It was just a question of justice. Let me doubt that someone who had so much to loose, and had always lost so much, didn't have the guts to say just: No, not anymore! I'm no Superman, on the contrary, and I could do that. Why didn't he do the same? Say no, is a part of everibody's growing, even the weakest.

Let's hear from the 'he made it up and he is out for the money' apologists.

My condolences to Archbishop Hepworth for his suffering caused by this ongoing enablement of sexual and psychological abuses by former pope JPII and Pope B16's condonement of Roman Catholic clerical evil behaviors and power abuses. Nothing has changed or really been reformed and the abuses still continue by clerics to seminarians, youths, children and women.

The conditions for Roman Catholic sexual clerical abuses still are happening. New recruits are abused by Roman Catholic clerics, and children are still abused by current clerics, like the recent 2010 case where the recently ordained priest abused children and Bishop Finn allowed it to happen and then covered it up in 2010 and 2011.

It is unhealthy and not in communion with humanity's community to allow B16 to continue his abuses of power, of children, seminarians, theologians, clerics and women laity.

B16 has contempt for much of the world, has contempt for women and children and condones the sexual abuse of youths, seminarians and children by his clergy. B16 approves of RC clergy using condoms during homosexual sex, as only the life of the RC cleric is worthy of saving against AIDS to B16. B16 is cynical and hypocritical, and contemptous of so many people.

I understand Hepworth's continuous love for the Catholic Church and his sense of loss. He was betrayed by the RC clergy, including the popes who issued written directives to world-wide dioceses to silence victims and to hide predatory RC clergy and keep circulating these criminals who re-abused with more victims.

The Anglican church is equally valid and far more respectful of the humanity of the world. Hepworth also has a wife and children of his own. Jesus approves of married apostles. Junia/Joanna (wife of Chuza) and St Peter were definately married. Anglicans are really Catholics too, and are valid church.

Sadly the RCC popes have been responsible for this continued clerical betrayal and abuses. RCC has become a shameful shell of itself and has become rotten top down from the evil perpetrated by the popes JPII and B16.
