Lambeth Palace, former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey and the Sussex arm of the Church of England are under pressure this morning to explain why critical documents relating to jailed paedophile Bishop Peter Ball, were not handed over to authorities.
Lord Carey denied the existence of a cover up last year, but in January 2016, the CPS published letters of support for Bishop Ball, which included a communication from Lord Carey.
Equally serious is the allegation that the cover up, which allowed Bishop Ball to continue to work within the church, enabled Ball to silence other victims of sexual abuse who came to him with their complaints. Phil Johnson, who was abused by Bishop Ball as a young man told the BBC that there had been instances of abuse which had been reported to Ball who had then failed to act. As a result of that failure, other boys then went on to be sexually assaulted.
Richard Scorer, a lawyer at Slater and Gordon working with survivors of child sexual abuse:
“It’s an absolute scandal. It is wrong and unacceptable that the Church of England sat on the information and didn’t pass it to the police. There is no question Peter Ball would have been prosecuted, convicted and jailed for child abuse at that time.”
Ball, who is now 84, was jailed last year for sex assaults on 18 teenagers and young men in the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s.
An independent review is now underway.
Many thanks to Phil Johnson for sharing this update with us.

This is the usual pattern. No one ever challenged the men of god until recently.
Victims were blamed for tempting these poor A dam men in dresses.
There was always excuses to cover up. Citing their own Canon laws was also used.
The cover up took place because of this old patriarchal rite/right to do as they pleased with women and children- the chattels to be husbanded by men like animal husbandry.
The ancient texts of all patriarchal religions need to be taken out and everyone needs to read and understand the old beliefs and purge them from our collective consciousness.

Lady Portia, I do not think patriarchy is the problem, any more than guns are to blame for violence, rather than those who fire them. The problem here, clearly, is that laws are not enforced. punishment is not carried out. Is it not? The real problem is prestige and power, or celebrity and power. or wealthy and power. In fact, wealth is the leading cause and most substantial cause of all human abuse and misery. No one ever brings that up. Wealth creates way too much temptation and the means to carry it out.
It can bribe, seduce, cover over, or just about anything else, too. This is a result of industrialization, where mass production can crank out things fast and cheap will charging for the cost to make it be hand without mass production. It throws the scales of balance way our of joint. Sometimes, a deeper analysis is needed.. Our society is very ill and messed up and our leaders are not about to tell you what I just did.

I have researched and been through 60 years of this system.
All the religions claim to originate from some invisible Father “god”.
Adam – dammed – could do no wrong – it was all Eve ill Eve’s fault.
I found the pyramid patriarchal system to be a massive issue.Its the structure.
In matriarchal society- it is a round table- like King Arthur’s round table where all are equal.
In regards to Justice it is a womb-man holding the scales as s/he is whole/holy.
Under Patriarchy both men and women suffer as explained here.
http://thesacredcircle.net/Patriarchy.html
Patriarchy sits at the root of misogyny, codependency,
sexism, racism, homophobia, religious fundamentalism,
various addictions, wars, genocide, greed, pornography,
violence against women and children; obsession with body image;
eating disorders, domestic violence, child abuse, rape, incest,
crimes against humanity & other abuses we see in the world today.”
Males as well as females are gravely affected by Patriarchy because
it defines unrealistic roles for us that are impossible to emulate
without creating conflict and confusion in our basic natures and
in our relationships with one another. Patriarchy teaches males
to BE GOD and females to SERVE GOD, which creates wars
within the self, and when there’s conflict and stress within
there is always discord, dis-ease & dysfunction without. “

Lady Portia, There may be people who have blamed Eve rather than Adam but the Bible was not the one that did that. Adam was blamed as he knew better. Eve was innocently deceived as she was young and new to life. Adam is blamed for death coming to the human race, not Eve. It seems to me that at times, your information is lacking detail and sources, if not accuracy. You have found the “culprit” that you wanted, but that does not mean it is to blame. What you avoid blaming is human accountability and responsibility, one we hall have, whether men or women. Your emphasis seems quite focused on men. That is my impression. I have seen men who blame women for everything, and that is wrong, too. AGain, each person, regardless of sex or race, is accountable to, and responsible for, proper behavior. That is my firm conviction.

Maybe the men of god if there is one wore dress like clothes in readiness to bring change of the sexes and yes the kids being abused did not know if it was a man or women abusing them apart from the voices but then voices change, along with the cutting of f of the penises, boy the sex change is rife.

The men of god wore dresses to show they had taken over totally from the Priestesses- whom they sold as prostitutes, used as breeders because of their DNA etc.

Please don’t pull up the weeds with the flowers. There is a Biblical definition of the different roles of men and women, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers . The Patriarchal model is the correct one but has been horribly distorted by men. Islam is the worst.

The Bible was written by patriarchal men and the old truth distorted.
How many women, men and children were slaughtered during the patriarchal reign?
These Christians travelled Mother Earth and converted through fear and murder.
Plenty of examples to view here.
If you consider this patriarchy the right way, then I am speechless.

Iron Spider
The iron would usually be heated to red-hot and then used to slowly rip the breasts from the body. It would be used for such crimes as heresy, adultery, self-induced abortions, blasphemy and other “hideous” crimes.
Just a few of the tortures that ‘heretics’ went through:
• Skin flayed from head, face and body
• Noses, nipples and breasts pulled off with red hot pinchers
• Fried or boiled alive or roasted on a spit
• Mouth slit back to ears
• Crucified upside down
• Thrown from windows on to spears
• Arms cut off
• Torturous slow burning, soles of feet, then up to ankles, mid-calf, etc.
• Women stripped, hung from trees by their hair and scourged or left hanging by one leg until dead
• Tourniquet placed on head and twisted until eyes came out
• Ears bored out
• Tongue cut out
• Set down (by pulley) into a fire by degrees
• Thrown to dogs
• Hung up by the heels and choked with smoke
• Disembowelled
• Sharp instruments forced under nails and into other body parts
• Racked until their bowels broke out
• Throats cut with butcher knives
• Knocked on the head with axes
etc, etc
That is not taught in schools either

But again, your blaming partiarchy, which is nothing more (or should be) that the man being the head of house. It was how God organized the family unit, which then fits into a community unit, than a tribal unit much like states in a nation.
What you are mentioning are crimes committed and crimes are committed by any number of social systems. Wiccans and witches did plenty of child sacrifices back in the pagan days. They were no patriarchies. This is just crime, not a family unit. In mind control cults, the women as as cruel and vicious at the men. Your blaming a system instead of people and making the system the criminal and letting the individuals off the hook, as I see it.
And where in the Bible or anywhere else does it say that torture is OK for the man of the house? He is forbidden to do any of those things. It seems like you have missed that. I am not sensing objectivity and precision blame. Anyone can be a criminal. You just have to break the rules. Every religion and way of life has criminals among its group.
You correctly identified lots of hideous tortures. and humanity should be ashamed of itself. But the blame needs to be correctly applied. If we treat the wrong source, we can not effect a cure. A broke leg can not heal if we treat the arm instead. Can you see what I mean. We have to identity the real cause, not the mistaken one.

The majority think it is no harm unless rape has taken place. This is logical , but leaves out this. When greater knowledge comes to the child in teen age years, he or she realises the betrayal. As the person goes into adolecence and learns about sex he or she then has to realise there was something in the “Games” or whatever the adult criminal called them, which was not explianed at the time. This betrael is very bad and emortional even in cases where no penetration was involved. I assume thre are no adults who think penetration would not physically injure a child.

Well said and its all so well explained by these professionals.
“Frequently, early sexual abuse can be of such overwhelming intensity that the immature mind buries it beyond awareness, in the deepest recesses of the unconscious. However, this powerful energy cannot be fully sealed off. The mental turmoil within may see her engaging in complex obsessive-compulsive thoughts and rituals — hours scrubbing her body in the shower, frequently washing and changing her clothes, engaging in checking routines and endless mental scrabble, without knowing why. The imposition of order and self-discipline quells her anxiety. She may withhold food through calorie counting and starvation rituals, and engage in self-mutilation practices for release of tension, the pain and the sight of blood reminding her that she’s alive.”

Sexual abuse: eclipse of the soul
The trauma of childhood sexual abuse is almost incomprehensible. Here, Michael Corry and Aine Tubridy explain some of the consequences
I’ve come to realise that sexual assault is an imposed death experience for the victim. That is, the victim experiences her life as having been taken by someone else.

Excellent post. Dr. Janov says that incest is among the most traumatizing things that can happen. It causes the deepest disturbances that take the longest time in therapy to release.
The rape of children is the most used tactic of mind control programming because of its ability to traumatize. As well, a rape can be done in a way that can make it far worse or not as bad, depending on the conduct of the rapist. But to h arm being so small and delicate only speaks of how far gone these freaks from hell are.
