German Priest Admits 280 Counts of Child Abuse
A Roman Catholic priest in Germany has admitted to 280 counts of sexually abusing three boys over a several-year period.
The 46-year-old priest, who has been suspended, went on trial Thursday at the state court in Braunschweig. The dapd news agency reported that he showed no remorse.
The man who was not identified was arrested last July after one victim told his mother what had happened. He was charged with abusing three boys aged between 9 and 15.
Hildesheim diocese spokesman Michael Lukas says the defendant's actions were "a catastrophe for the victims and for the Catholic church." The trial continues through Feb. 2.
The priest also faces church disciplinary proceedings.
Germany, Pope Benedict XVI's homeland, was shaken in 2010 by revelations of abuse by clergy going back decades.

Not just Germany. You couldn't open a newspaper here a year or so ago without reading about a ton of stuff like that having happened here too.

Kids used to be transported from Ireland and england to australia by the catholic church. I heard of a wager between two priests to see who could rape one kid 1000 times first.
Seriously, world, you can keep every other religion including fundamentalist Islam and Christianity. Just please wipe Catholicism from existance.
If nothing else, so I can at least consider my parents as equals.
