This sort of thing is so commonplace it’s hardly considered news at this point…
Church child protection chief caught with 4,000 child porn pictures
A child protection official for the Catholic Church has been caught with 4,000 pictures of child porn.
Father-of-four Christopher Jarvis was arrested after uploading pictures of children being abused to a website.
Married Jarvis, 49, a former social worker, was employed by the church following sex scandals about pervert priests.
His job was to monitor church groups to ensure paedophiles did not gain access to children in the church’s congregations.
But he was caught by police in March with more than 4,000 child porn images on his home computer and his work laptop.
He admitted 12 counts of making, possessing and distributing indecent images when he appeared before magistrates in Plymouth and is likely to face jail when he returns to court for sentencing next month.
Jarvis, who has been sacked from his job as child safeguarding officer, worked the Diocese of Plymouth for nine years.
Church spokesman David Pond said: “Mr Jarvis was suspended from his position as soon as the diocese became aware in March of the police investigation.
“The Bishop took that action and since then the Church has worked closely with the police.”

Understand the mindset.
You can commit all kinds of sins once you are “saved”.
That’s one of the reasons why believers will continue with this kind of aberrant behavior and still feel closeness to God and essentially free from damnation.

Parents – keep your kids away from Catholic priests.
It is still dangerous in 2011, despite how they will lie and tell you otherwise, Take a look at this year’s stories in Philadelphia, KC, Ireland, and dozens of sites where they have been caught. Catholics still defend their pedophile protection program.
You can still save your kids if they haven’t been abused by a priest yet.

What the hell is a matter with the catholic church?
I was raised catholic and eighty percent of the priest and nuns were rotten statistic people who seen to get off on beating children. Now it’s the people they hire. How long is the church going to be allowed to buy their way out of abusing children. Autorities need to start with the damn pope who allows these things to go on unpunished.
