Аннотация
SINS OF THE PRESS blows the lid off the Boston Globe's 2002 Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting about sex abuse and the Catholic Church.<br><br>While the Globe would want you believe that its paper's reporting was a carefully impartial chronicle of abuse and cover-ups by Church officials, this fast-paced, eye-opening, and meticulously researched book uncovers something entirely different.<br><br>Using actual images of headlines, photos, and editorial cartoons from the Globe archives, Sins of the Press exposes:<br>* How the Globe has routinely celebrated child molesters in its pages over the years;<br>* How the Globe frequently promoted an author who supported incest between fathers and daughters;<br>* Extensive and undeniable proof that the Globe's reporting was the culmination of a relentless, decades-long attack against the Catholic Church;<br>* How the Globe has deliberately dismissed and mitigated vile abuse and cover-ups in other institutions;<br>* How the Globe flagrantly misled its readers about the Church's response to abuse complaints;<br>* How the Globe was flat-out erroneous in its reporting;<br>* How the Globe facilitated the foundation of the notorious pedophile group NAMBLA;<br>and much more.<br><br>Sins of the Press will obliterate everything you thought about the Boston Globe and its reporting about Catholic sex abuse.
Аннотация
We must continue to demand justice and compassion for victims of Catholic clergy abuse. This is not optional.<br><br>Time and time again in recent years, Catholics and non-Catholics alike have been horrified by hideous stories of wretched abuse and betrayal.<br><br>However, there is a side of the Catholic Church abuse narrative that is not getting the attention it warrants. Countless priests in the United States have been falsely accused of committing horrendous child abuse.<br><br>Topics in this book include:<br>… how the most recent figures indicate that one third of accused priests have been accused falsely;<br>… the stunning court declaration with the opinion from a retired FBI investigator that "one half" of all accusations are "entirely false" or "greatly exaggerated";<br>… the American cardinal who has been the target of two bogus abuse charges;<br>… how accusers have retained huge monetary settlements even though their allegations later proved to be false;<br>… the father of an accuser who appeared at the funeral of an accused priest and apologized for the false allegation that his son leveled;<br>… the Catholic archbishop who tells of being spat upon by a member of SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests);<br>… the monsignor who waited five years to be exonerated of abuse charges even though his alleged victims denied that they were molested;<br>plus much more.
