If you read my blog, you know that one basic premise that I hold dear is that most religions are evil - they pretend morality and good will toward fellow humans, but in reality they are naught but businesses set up to make big bucks and screw over everyone but their own. A case in pooint from the Anchorage (Alaska) Daily News...
A group of 43 Alaska Natives who say they were sexually abused by Catholic priests and church volunteers have sued the Jesuit order, alleging that remote Alaska villages became a worldwide dumping ground for clergy with histories of abuse.
The 78-page lawsuit filed this week in Bethel Superior Court is the latest in an Alaska clergy scandal that involves more than 300 victims and about 40 accused perpetrators, according to Patrick Wall, a former monk and priest who works for a California law firm as an advocate for sex abuse victims.
This week's lawsuit is on behalf of 35 men and eight women, and another one is in the works with another 60 or so victims, said Anchorage attorney Ken Roosa, who is one of the lawyers representing the group.
People keep coming forward, he said.
