"But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea."

                                                            Matthew 18:6
 


The following are excerpts of a few of the articles I have, with links to news sites with the full article if available. They include everything from the Vatican's involvement in bank fraud, insurance fraud, money laundering, and art fraud, to priests raping boys behind altars and in graveyards, child pornography, drug manufacture, and corpse mutilation. 

This section is likely to expand quickly, but it would be impossible to put all the articles up
There are too many.

Dallas Morning News Database of Bishops who covered up pedophile priests
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ep/20020620/en_bpiep/dallas_database_profiles_catholic_cover_ups

After three months of work, the Morning News last week published a searchable database of 111 bishops that have a documented history of protecting accused pedophile priests (about 2/3 of the total). "There were other dioceses where we couldn't nail down the facts with enough specificity to include them," Maples said.

Maples, along with Egerton and another reporter, Reese Dunklin, ran the 178 bishops' names through a series of databases including LexisNexis. When bishops turned up in news stories about sexual abuse, the Morning News worked to build its own documentation of each case by reading through court documents and interviewing lawyers, victims, and church officials. A single accusation against a bishop wasn't enough for inclusion in the database, Maples said. Instead, the newspaper only included bishops who had strong cases built against them.
