A UN human rights committee has denounced the Vatican for adopting policies that allowed priests to rape and molest tens of thousands of children, and urged it to open its files on the paedophiles and the churchmen who concealed their crimes.
In a devastating report on Wednesday, the UN committee also severely criticised the Holy See for its attitudes toward homosexuality, contraception and abortion and demanded that the Vatican “immediately remove” all clergy who are known or suspected child abusers and turn them over to civil authorities.
The report added, “And give us all ponies–pretty, pretty ponies, with rainbow ribbons in their hair–because that’s about as likely as you child fuckers cleaning up your act.”
