Even named. The only church to separate from the bible and father patrick sat right behind him and theres no possible way that he could forget who i was based on the number of interactions i had with him the only thing that would make sense to me is if you know if i was just another kid that he touched and it was like you know one in the same. Faceless nameless you know that was his way of justifying it blocking it out thats the only thing i can think of just another kid that he touched yeah it seems to be quite a number of us you know. Patricks accusers had reported their abuse to Family Friends and therapist years ago. But for a long time these men didnt File Lawsuits or seek prosecutions against the priest. Thats because new yorks restrictive statute of limitations law made it nearly impossible for them to do so the legal system should be geared to the needs of the victim not the needs of the perpetrator or the institutions that caused it and essentially were opening the door of the courthouse so when the victims ready they come forward for 17 years legal scholar marcy hamilton has fought for laws that give victims of child sex abuse more time to file claims. And in state capitals across the country the Catholic Church has been her adversary theres a sense of entitlement that they deserve respect and they deserve deference but nobody is going to get respect or deference it so long as they endanger children and thats what theyre doing so long as they lobby against the victims in the state legislatures theyre on the side of the pedophiles. This year 1000 states and the district of columbia brought in the statute of limitations for child sex crimes in new yorks law went into effect in august to save and hundreds of survivors filed lawsuits against the archdiocese of new york i didnt think i would be able to do this i didnt think i would be able to tell anyone but when i found out that after now 8 of us have come forward and hes still in ministry in manhattan. Its something further had to be done jews have became the 2nd man this year to go public against father patrick. But his attorneys pointed to an even earlier claim back in 2012 another survivor just like mr kara manuel came forward he came forward he reported to the archdiocese the actions of monsignor product he reported to the District Attorney the actions of monsignor paddock i was with him during that report those years ago this is your proof of claim when what does it say here 62712 in 20122012 this man who well call hector filed that initial report here rico who committed the acts of sexual abuse or other wrongful conduct by the john and paddock hector was a 17 year old student at Cardinal Hayes high school in the bronx thats when he went to father patrick for help dealing with the sexual abuse hed faced as a child somebody is close to the family. A child a child unless when i was 5 years old. And im blogging me so the school. Talk about it and get it out and move on. But i said its a wrong person. I mean just the defendants a fellow has. Just gone towards my private parts. Comfortable when i try to back again he grabbed both of the handles like to stop when he was holding the handles on the chair what do you think he was trying to say with that style moving to stop moving. And i love out the room i went to the baffle just to my head and my knowledge is crying because i just thought something was wrong with me. The archdiocese investigated hectors claim and cleared patrick of wrongdoing the archdiocese has known about the allegations against monsignor katic for years more than 6 years. Those allegations have been kept quiet by the archdiocese they chose to believe the offender who had been accused and who had no doubt deny it and then silently and quietly continue that offender in ministry from that day to this thats what they chose to do when we met father patrick at church he agreed to an on camera interview the next day he changed his mind and we ended up on the phone with him. They all have sort of strikingly similar stories and thats where you know it starts to get a little hard on telling us. Theres. Something wrong with them what. Would you pull them close to you is that would that be sort of a traditional way that you would counsel them as i point them close to you. Or i dont know so. Im ok would your knees ever be touching theirs. Ok would your knee ever would you ever have your knee inside their leg or anything like that certainly not consciously in your consolation process would you ever see yourself like rubbing on their on their leg are on their thought oh. Never ok did you ever remove any students close any student or alter always clothing or any reason. So did you ever examined them medically examined them no you never did you never examined them. With a stethoscope. Oh ok. Ok all right yeah thats one of the claims and then a few of them made was that you could was. There was patrick for years it appeared that products parishioners were not aware of the claims against their priest and heres patrick in 2015 presiding over a confirmation mass through it all it seemed that father patrick could rely on the support of the archbishop and here is a picture of colonel go and raising a glass with his buddy father paddy. Like theyre pretty close friends. As a Cardinal Dolan is among a select group of the vaticans most powerful men. For a time there was even talk of him becoming the next pope. To promise respect and obedience to me and my successors to god to speak of this good work you know bring it just so. We wanted to know how long Cardinal Dolan would take father paddocks word over that of his accusers. Once again we found ourselves in church looking for a chance to greet the man who catholics refer to as his eminence. As dolan greeted parishioners he appeared to be in good spirits. That began to change once we asked him about father patrick the archdiocese and now suspects these things against father patrick for 7 years now and i was wondering why is he still in active ministry or losing their security doing research on doing this but theres a moral obligation are you willing youre willing to take the free speech those who prescribe for sure there are genuine shooters in multiple allegations or are you going to ask our prophet are you. Are you willing to her arms away are you willing to her in harms way and one last. Place for calling everybody a distance runner and welfare before us and. What messed up your familys will im going to bring him up well you know based on that hes 14 years old theres a lot of what you will you know we dont have stop. And thank you in a question later hear a voice about the welfare of children in need to carry the worries there are many sure that is thanks to things bennett will you know about it for 7 years later who are financing since they sensed a few child. Its stones policy to suspend a priest while the church investigates allegations of abuse against him. But when we spoke to patrick on the phone he seemed confident the dolan would keep him in ministry and whats the message to the public that a priest thats been accused of sexually abusing children gets to remain in their job as a priest still working with children. Like. The archdiocese has a 0 tolerance 7 policy. Which are substantiated. On its own. And i dont want to go on a week after our encounter with Cardinal Dolan we got an update on paddocks case. The priest had sent this letter to his congregation after consultation with our no golan and for the good of you the parish and the church i have decided to step away from my role as pastor here and there to gone to step in way. We still had questions. Where would patrick be during the investigation and where was he now and he could be anywhere. In the boats in the park or the beach. You know he still is listed on the parish website as pastor. His letter to the parishioners basically said ill be back when this all blows over. Bad is the story of the Catholic Church abuse scandal is that a perpetrator is identified and they either then disappear into another parish or they disappear into another state or they just evaporates they are gone. Archdiocese officials declined to answer our list of written questions. However they revealed that father patrick hadnt just stepped away hed been suspended. The rectory where father attic lives its right up here its right next to the church he stepped away from the church a few weeks ago but he didnt say where he was going or what he would be could be doing while this investigation takes place. When we returned to the parish weeks later patrick was still there inside the church compound. Father patrick. Nice to see you to meet you again yes we were wondering if you might have a few seconds to chat. You can do that. But i know that theres been a lot thats happened in the last few weeks and we were just wondering where how youre feeling now and whats basically you know here if youre not in active ministry anymore are you going to stay here in the. Where youre going to go during this time. You cant disclose where youre going to be are you going to be in ministry at all. Because you can tell us. Well now we know where father patrick is hes still here in the rectory but he couldnt tell us where hes going to be. During this investigation or even if hes going to be in ministry which is interesting. In september a review commissioned by Cardinal Dolan concluded that there were no active priests under his watch facing substantiated abuse claims. Meanwhile the archdiocese faced 2 new lawsuits accusing priests of abusing minors at least one of them is an active ministry lissas left all of our people you bewildered frustrated and angry our good and faithful priest demoralized and us bishops somber and contrite. I have also heard this chilling comment more than once Cardinal Dolan weve been so let down that were beginning to lose trust in you bishops. That stings without your trust i dont have a lot left. So i would ask him. She lost my trust. What do you expect to do about that. I know you dont want this out there i know you doubt but have you asked for forgiveness so is your holy priest. And why the being there what he thats what. I what i say is because i know and he knows i wouldnt just.

Bolivias opposition candidate says he wont accept the final president ial vote results and calls for peaceful demonstrations.

Well theres been another significant shift in the United States military position in syria its now planning to be fought thats presence in the countrys north east to protect oil fields from falling into the hands of eisel faces crystal scattered through the region its the clearest sign yet that the u.

President donald trump has been striving to fulfill his promise to leave syria completely saying its not americas fight Christensen Amy has the latest from washington d. C. President trump justified his decision to bring u. S. Troops home and allow Turkish Forces into northeastern syria to attack kurdish allies in the region by saying it was time to bring u. S. Troops home but he faced an immediate backlash in the United States not just from democrats but from some of his staunchest republican allies including people like senator Lindsey Graham who has stood by the president through thick and thin there was a lot of worry about a resurgence of i saw in the region and about the appearance of abandoning allies in the region but earlier on thursday senator graham and some other republicans got a high level briefing at the pentagon and after that senator graham came out and he said he was reassured by plans that the pentagon was making to secure syria particularly the oil details of this plan have not been formally announced but reportedly it involves sending tanks to the region to guard this Precious Resource and the goal is to stop groups like eisel any other destabilizing forces from getting access to that oil. Well russia is sending more military police and heavy equipment to patrol parts of the tackiest syria border as part of its agreement with attack Us Government under that deal cut us forces are also pulling back from the frontier but as they do so the bloodshed hasnt stopped completely a sum a bunch of aid reports from near the turkish syrian border.

Moving on now and lebanons president has offered to meet protest as to help save the country from collapse after more than a week of massive antigovernment demonstrations michel aoun also suggested or was possible but added that the government should not be toppled from the streets so how to reports on how people responded and by every. Day 8 in the almost paralysis of daily life continues protesters are still on the streets of the lebanese capital beirut and other cities across the country the country is at this standstill as the protest movement enters its 2nd week schools universities and banks remain closed they are keeping up the pressure on the government to resign the president michel aoun who the protesters also want removed from office addressed the nation for the 1st time since the crisis began he presented his solution by promising to fight corruption and invited the protesters to engage in dialogue. With the regime cannot be toppled from the streets the regime must be changed through conditional tools now we have economic models to bring jobs we also have concerns about the economy i am willing to listen to your demands i am waiting for you his invitation was swiftly rejected Civil Society activists say that people have heard promises like these before the president s speech did not address the promises that he will address corruption and try to return some of the stolen money but thats just promises that there is no confidence. With the people that they will actually that the government will follow through and recover the stolen money they say they want radical change they want new faces in power who are not affiliated with the governing parties and theyre promising to keep lebanon on lockdown until that happens blocking the roads is very essential because we have to keep the country as paralyzed this possible of course everything related to food water transport and main the people who cant afford maybe. We need to eat we need to drink the governing Coalition Says the protesters only worsening the economic crisis theyre also accusing opposition politicians of riding the wave of popular anger to push their own political agenda the governing coalition is refusing to resign ignoring calls for early elections their messages change can only happen at the ballot box they are going to time both sides are not budging the stalemate is dangerous in a deeply divided society. So far the army has taken the side it hasnt used Excessive Force to open roads it hasnt emptied squares it has kept the antigovernment demonstrators and loyalists apart there have been counter protest by supporters of Political Parties in power so far theyve been spontaneous and limited in numbers that can change that of their favor. Well the iraqi Prime Minister is also trying to appease public anger he says hell pull his cabinet and introduce sweeping reforms there have been more antigovernment protests in baghdad they started earlier this month and now more than 150 people have been killed since amid allegations of Excessive Force by authorities protesters say the governments failed to deliver on its promises of more jobs and training. The police to be at the net we plan to reduce the salaries of officials in the president ial offices and ministries as well as members of parliament and executive managers of National Public entities the funds to ride from the reduction of salaries along with contributions from the state will be used to establish a social welfare fund that ensures that no iraqi lives below the poverty line and that any iraqi without income will receive a monthly grants of no less than 110. 00 u. S. Dollars the council of ministers will submit the draft law to the house of representatives for approval. On the final count. Board has given president evo morales an out. Victory meaning he went have to face a 2nd round but runner up callousness that is refusing to accept that result and International Pressure is growing for another vote John Houghton reports from the pas. There was a huge march snaked through the center of the powers on thursday almost certainly the biggest since discontent began over bolivias elections that im not going there and were protesting because they dont respect our vote or democracy. The anger numbers on the streets appear to increase after president ever morale is said that he was the outright winner of the bolivian elections. We won the 1st round electoral authorities later confirmed his win but there is doubt over that vote and not just from these protesters the European Union and the organization of american states also voiced concerns especially about an almost 24 hour freezing of the rapid vote count just when it indicated that this was going to a 2nd round. When the count came back online rallies was suddenly heading for an outright 1st round win on thursday a usually fragmented opposition united around Carlos Messer the leading challenger to moralise as well but he made the coordination in defense of democracy resolves to 1st call for a 2nd election round administered in a peaceful and impartial way 2nd to call on citizens social organizations and institutions to continue to hold peaceful rallies until the voters respect and. Many still support president morales he was the favorite going into the election partly thanks to well distribution programs that have almost hall of poverty he called this a coup and chided the organization of american states for questioning the process look at these you know i dont want to think that the u. S. Mission is already taking part in a coup detat i dont know if they understood me yesterday. Oh yes as a whole should evaluate themselves and the mission it sent as well president morales has really addressed the main criticism here that almost 24 hour gap between results in state hes hit back accusing kind of a cohost message of being a criminal and saying that the young people protesting against him ive been paid with money over with better grades was was we put that to students on the march was enough i thought it was because its disrespectful to say that to the universities and the students hes trying to minimize our vote they havent paid us or given us grades this is actually affecting us because this week we had exams. With protests strikes opening of public buildings and many of the levy is departments the crisis is if anything deepening john home
