O'TOOLE GREW UP WITH CATHOLIC CHURCH ABUSE

PETER O'TOOLE has great sympathy for those abused by Catholic priests as children - because he grew up surrounded by twisted clergy. The movie great admits he was raised as a "holy Roman acolyte" in the 1940s, and though he was never targeted or sexually abused by a priest, he knew a lot of young boys who were. The actor says, "Unfortunately there were some wonky priests who tried to touch you up... It was abominable. I was lucky; I wasn't touched. "The hard kids put a needle in their jeans so that when the priest went to touch them they got a nasty shock."

www.bishop-accountability.org/abusetracker for daily verified global coverage on why no Roman Catholic laity should be donating any monies for any reason, until guilty pedophile serial enabling miters and red hats are each removed from office, having cost laity mutiple billions of BPS/Dollars/Euros, with no end in sight, and no correction in child endangerment.

I am sorry to say you are never going to get accountability In the Catholic church, Because to that many people would lose their high powered jobs, And these people believe they are above the law, They have made that obvious by their actions
