Good lord. What is wrong with the Catholic Church. Is there any wonder the devotees are running for the hills?
Oh look its wapo trying to normalize pedophilia.
A pervert on the lose.
This is WRONG!!! But not unexpected. The grown children of their abuse should be allowed to hand out their punishment. They can even administer it if they want to. I know that I would love that! The criminals probably don’t even remember them before using them!
Pedopbilia is in vogue in America.
Imagine if the fury directed at Jeffrey Epstein was directed instead at the Catholic Church and other religious institutions that have abused children for decades.
There has to be a reckoning. Talk about the deep state.
What is it with old white men protecting pedophiles?
A child rapist is still in the White House! Focus on that!
If we just focus on one person at a time, we're never going to get anywhere.
Never in the history of RICO has there been a more ripe prosecution. The Catholic Church has ran a criminal enterprise specializing in the rape of children for centuries.
And now Republicans have made it easier for organized religion to cover up pedophile cases within their organization. Tell me who you are with and I will you who you are.
😡
Yuk! Get rid of him!
Has he been nominated for a cabinet position yet?
I know I’m stating the obvious: NOT a drag queen
When it comes to raping children, the Catholic Church has the same executive immunity trump does.
Oh, so TODAY pedophilia is bad and unacceptable. Not like yesterday.
😡😡😡
IF true this is really sick
Why is this surprising to anyone? The Catholic "church" has been protecting pedophiles for centuries.
😳
Maxwell is next.
One of life's greatest mysteries is how that ancient pedophile death cult hasn't been made extinct by any means necessary.
What? They couldn't find a job for this pedo in the Trump administration? They've given jobs to every other pedo out there.
Well Felon 47 needs help getting children to molest since mel wont touch him
I know you're only joking, but let's not boost the lie that men wouldn't be paedophiles or sexual predators if only their wives would give them enough.
Never said it like that. But in his case, he always wants them very young and vulnerable
Not a drag queen, don't let the costume fool you.
Catholics need to raise Hell! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE ADULTS IN THIS WORLD?
that's pretty F*CK'ed up. How can this be okay?
And an adjudicated sexual assaulter is in the white house. These are the times we live in
This cannot be allowed to continue.
...kinda like Trump
Once a pedophile always a pedophile. And if you're found out they just move you to another Parish cuz the world needs fucking pedophiles. Religion has fucked up so many things. This motherfucker should have been castrated
😡😡😡
Gross. Get rid of this asshole already.
This is why the Christian right isn't outraged by Trump and Epsteins behavior with young girls. So many Republicans and Preist live this lifestyle that their followers and voters don't see nothing wrong with it.
Hitting the nail on the head. Trump enablers have made a deal with the devil. History will reveal them for what they are.
He should still be in prison
We expect the pope to do something about child predators, yet, we elect an adjudicated rapist to be president, who has surrounded himself with sex pests and may soon release a convicted child sex trafficker...
Cut to the chase Trump is a pedo and a sex trafficker partner with Epstein
Oh look.. another perverted sexual predator
This is the kind of sh*t that turned me into a Methodist!
Its in all religions
Jesus
Don't you worry Father Capella , in this administration there should be a position for you. You have all the qualifications to be employed by this President. Since everyone likes having sex with little children and and the others like protecting pedophiles. You'll fit right in.
WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKER WHO SITS IN THE MOST IMPORTANT SEAT IN THE LAND?
😡😡😡
Slightly amusing to see the WaPo reporting on this - horrible as it is - but not reporting on all the similar moral affronts committed by the administration of a convicted rapist. The moral authority of the US is lost.
Maybe he should run for president or as a GOP senator--that seems to be the punishment in USA these days for pedophilia.
He will probably be Trump’s next spiritual leader at the White House.
Like this one. Texas pastor Robert Morris indicted for child sex crimes | The Texas Tribune share.google/kqwXGCBrP02F...
so gross
The pedo prez seems to be surrounded by a bunch of pervs! Birds of a feather. 🤢
Sexually abusing children in Oklahoma since the 80's. If there ever was a child trafficking ring (a la "Pizza Gate"), you're look'in @ it right here... Mega donor & Trump bestie. Pedophilia is a bridge too far even for Melania, that's why she finds him SO DISGUSTING. Spiritual advisor my ass...
DEFROCK and BANNISH him
Tax all churches then shut them all down!
I am now wondering if Pope Leo is in the Epstein files.... 😀
Father Capella, you mean?
Fuckin Pedos are everywhere, who can you trust??
No wonder the GOP loves Catholics and vice versa.
Wow. Get this guy far away from children. No one's God is worth the price children would have to pay.
King of the pedo’s wont do shit
Gotta be AI right? ‘Cause don’t see any flames.
Lolita Express made a trip to Rome in 2003 so maybe the Vatican wanted some of Epstein's blackmail info
Catholics are child molesters or support child molesters... Religion?
OK ENOUGH OF THIS FUCKING SHIT,GET RID OF THIS POS
WTF ??
The Catholic Church apparently hasn’t learned yet to quit defending pedophiles. What kind of work is he doing?
The guy should be hidden in the remotest monastery for life 🤮
Or prison for life
Where do kids now go to ever feel safe ? The president is a pedophile. Priests and ministers are pedophiles. Cops are racist bully pedophiles and half of our country is cool with that.
I think it’s been that way forever. Nothing new.
Priests and cops not our president. Perverts are everywhere, but now it's covered up and normalized for the sake of maintaining power, wealth, and total control.
As always.
Catholic children are in a state of danger.
The process that the Catholic Church enables creates more victims.
Disgusting.
Totally outrageous!
The people have a right to expect that in return for personhood corporations should be required to act in the community with good faith. It surpasses fiduciary responsibility in the order of things.
MAPA
Reposts and likes for trying to turn a horrific crime to political advantage, with a stupid lie, when anyone with the brains God gave a brick knows if there was one bipartisan issue all should get behind; this is it. Banality of evil strikes again.
Another one drinking the koolaid🙌🏼
Another one who is limited to a trite clichés, like a pull string doll, no matter the logic or rationale of a post or topic; unaware that it is they who are unable to think for themselves.
Dan, where is Ghislane Maxwell today? Why was a CONVICTED child sex trafficker/sexual abuser granted a WAIVER to move to a low-security luxury prison in Texas? Why are Republicans Reps/Senators virtually SILENT on this? Why is Maga TV host Greg Kelly asserting Maxwell is innocent? Banality, indeed!
What part of 'on all sides' is difficult, especially since you only have to count to 2 here. This platform has potential and value in its perspective. But you have to up your game, platform too, long posts, groups, stuff you can organize with. Unless the equivalent of a pull string doll is the goal.
When the president is a convicted sex offender. When the president is a pedophile who would like to feck his own daughter. Of course they will support another sex offender.
Exactly
Trump was a convicted sex offender...what did you exoect
Rape is normalized when your afraid to address...the victims.
Hope he gets the Father Ted treatment…
It's all about who you know then? Who you work for? This criminal s**t is getting confusing!
😡
He would be the perfect fit to lead the Republicans in prayer at the Capitol.
The continued aiding and abetting of pedophiles has forever changed my vision of the Catholic Church.
Looks like 2025 is the year of sex offenders… wtf is wrong with people?
How the Hell can he show his face???
Always the religious people......
Same Sick bastard. Keep children away from him and the WH Felon Rapist. Both registered sex offenders. #EpsteinFiles
Nice.
South Park was right again. The Catholic church belongs in the dustbin of history.
jfc
Shameful!
This is easily solved if Pope Leo would just issue bodycams for every priest & bishop with live monitors in the Vatican to call 911 when the grooming starts. Also no ordained priests without passing a plethysmograph. Future victim prevention is more essential than water over the damned.
Must have repented. So he’s good now? Drove the evil thoughts away withHailMarys????
Religion is a scam of maga proportions.
what is up with christians and molesting children!?!?
Freeing sexual predators … The @GOP and the Church have a lot in common
yup, the fix is always in.
The stain of child sexual abuse by clergy within the Catholic Church will never be erased. The Vatican has tried to sweep it under the rug but the stain keeps leaching through.
Easy to remove the words Catholic Church with Republican Party, thr Vatican with Trump.
Ahhhhhh!!!! WTF!!!!!!
WHY THE FUCK CAN'T THESE PEOPLE STOP RAPING CHILDREN!?
The Catholic Church has never had a policy to deal with sex offenders, and maybe still don’t. They don’t report it to authorities, and they just shuffle people around.
They just sued Washington state for new reporting laws for clergy. Like a few weeks ago. 😡🤮
Looks like Trump has a new favorite Reverend
I wonder which cabinet appointment this Reverend will receive?
Minister of Child Protection?
Why, that's almost as horrible as electing a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and probably pedophile president! How terrible!
😡
FFS! How many old dried up nuts, & their younger minions are there??? Pedophiles crawling out from under their rocks, slithering into the light provided by their leader and the tactic apparently mass MAGA & GOP green lighting of pedophilia….seems they are fans, our children sacrifice.
WTAF???you mean to tell me he is even allowed to ENTER the Vatican???
Sounds pretty catholic
This world is really get crazy he was convicted of possessing and porn of children and he back at work in church. Religion has gone to hell. Pedophiles are free.
I'd like Pope Leo to speak out about anything!!😇
Is Rev. Capella a member? Release the #TrumpsteinFiles #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinList
Ew (said with outrage)
wtf is going on.
#TaxTheChurch The Catholic church is a swamp of PDF corruption. Don't give any money to these heathens.
Surprised the Trump Administration didn't hire him
I doubt they'll allow him to be alone with children. The Catholic Church is about repentance and forgiveness after all.
🤬
Wow - that’s a shocker from organized religion. 🤨
This is why there so many ex Catholics.
Trump is just an amateur when it comes to covering up pedophilia. The real master is the Catholic Church, who’s been doing this shit for more than 2,000 years.
Yes, and not just the Catholic or Protestant Church. The patriarchal hierarchy in many organised religions, with the reverence taught for those positions, is ripe for manipulation, abuse, secrecy and reversed guilt. The same tactics are used with the famous, rich and powerful. And it works.
Yes.
Paedophile in the Vatican is not news. Scientists in the Vatican. THAT would be news!
Down with ALL pedophiles. I don’t care if they are left or right, religious or agnostic. If you hide or cover for them, you are just as guilty.
The hell
This is one of the reasons why people don’t have confidence in the church. Think about this man’s victims. FIRST
Growing up I had no idea just how entrenched pedophilia is with patriarchy. It is insane how, as traumatic an experience childhood sexual assault is, we see judges, religious, and civic leaders treating it with leniency. I have lost respect for western leadership and its ego-centric bullshit.
The normalization of right wing child abuse.
Trump's Amerika courtesy of Joe Biden...
The DNC blew it. Joe was a good president but he did not have it in him for the coming fight, he did not sell his policies or engage with the people.
That makes him BY DEFINITION A BAD PRESIDENT My God, can't you Democrats see reality..even when it walks up and kicks you in the ass?
It really doesn't, there is nothing that says presidents need to spend four years running for the second four years which is where Joe utterly failed. He did a great job getting America back on track but he failed to run for the second term. FYI, I have never been a democrat or republican.
I used to be a Democrat...then I took my own advice and wised up...Biden didn't accomplish a damn thing. Everything... EVERYTHING he did was EXPUNGED by the MAGA Nazi Felon he failed to have taken down...and the FASCIST REGIME that was made possible by that failure now is destroying America...
Democrats are too busy, pretending there’s a democracy to defend there isn’t we live under oligarchy. And unless and until we faced that it will continue. Partisan politics is a democratic façade for oligarchy.
I agree with ev up to the last sentence...which really doesn't make any sense...
I would like to differ and attempt to clarify. Partisan politics gives Americans a sense that they have the democracy when they don’t. This is a façade all legitimate government derives from a mandate of the masses. The duopoly provides the appearance of such a man.
If Americans would remove money from elections, this country would straighten out very quickly.
Good point....just a generation too late....
That is an essential step
OK....I get it ...it was your previous sentence structure that confused me...True it's never been a perfect system but it really did work better than most others...UNTIL IT DIDN'T...suggestions?
The CU decision was the fuse that took everything down. The Koch's and the Christian Coalition have been planning this for decades, Trump was the wild card but they won his admin now. Remove the money from elections, the people get their government back in two election cycles.
Do you really believe, with the Oligarchs in control, THAT will ever happen?
But do you really believe that now that these factions have achieved their decades old goal they will relinquish the power they now have UNCONDITIONALLY. Get real. You can forget voting these fuckers out and you can forget legally maneuvering them out....they own the courts and the ballot box.
Hey WP...don't forget that there's a pedophile occupying our WH as well
Carlisle Alberto Capelia is a child predator and the Catholic Church should not allow him to return to work. He may have repented and forgiven, does not mean he can have his old job back.
This is what the Catholic Church has done far too often...sent those known to have committed sex crimes back to work because they were good at their OTHER job. I keep hoping for a change of heart.
This should not be.
The Italian hand gesture 🤌 in that picture is unequivocal
Serving time doesn't magically correct the underlying problem. If I hear one more person say, "Well, he did his time", I'm going to scream. Even louder than I already am.
Our brains reach full development at 25. If an adult is a pedophile, their preference, sexual activity, can't be changed or altered. The sentencing recommendation should always be life w/o the possibility of parole. Consequences have relevance. Behavior of this magnitude conclude future occurrences
Bishop estevez is under the deluded belief that merely apologizing for the sexual harassment of his priest fr McDermott somehow exonerates him. How degrading and insulting.
Why is rev capella not removed from service? What a breach of trust for all Catholics.
This is why they get a bad rap, he cannot work for the Church PERIOD!
Oh HELL NO
No forgiveness for predators.
HUGE red flag there. Leo, do something pronto!
Same as it ever was
Ain't nothing hidden under the son
NO!!!
This should never happen. Spread it!
Religion rots the brain.
Why doesn’t the WP ask Trump why he hires 15 yo girls to work in his adult spa.
Hey
Gross.
PROTECT THE CHILDREN. Not the Molesters, Abusers & Pedophilers!!!!!!! GOP & Catholic Church will answer for their Shameful SINS One day.
Sounds like he could be besties with Miller, he would do great at the Trump White House.
Geez
This. Is. Bad. For. Children.
What the fuck is wrong with the Catholic Church?
No, that shit is no longer acceptable. Make sure he's treated just like the rest if not harder. We expect much more from the religious folk.
Yet another pedo priest who got away with it. Where is Pope Leo on this latest travesty of justice?
White Sox game?
Where is the media, so they can compare him to Epstein and Maxwell.
CATHOLICS SPEAK UP! My view on the Catholic Church greatly changed, for the better during the election when I came across a group called Catholics for Harris which led me to open my heart to the possibility that there is actual Christ like people in there! I like this Pope also! Kick this ‘man’ out!
Well it’s not like getting elected by half the voters😳🖕🏽🤡💩🦧🐘🐑🐏
Church doing church things
Common Sense tells me that being a priest and serving prison time for Distributing c**************** would strip you of your right to be a priest. Then silly me, I also would have thought being a 34 Time Felon would prevent you from being the president of the United States!
Yikes, that sounds serious! But hey, maybe all that chaos means Bitcoin will shine even brighter for us clever raccoons soon!
It's a job prerequisite for the Catholic Church.
I’d include any church.
Outrageous. Have you heard about the United States of America? They elected an insurrectionist convicted felon, who is an adjudicated rapist and has dozens of women accusing him of various levels of SA/misconduct. Someone should write about him and the oligarchs backing his kleptocracy.
PEDO PRIEST!!!
#TaxAllChurches
Hope he shows his leadership. " The eyes of the world are on you, your holiness."
At this point it is safe to say that we are fighting a global pedophile syndicate.
I think the problem is that (almost) all men lean to pedophilia and the ones with the most power can do the worst.
Almost all men? Broad brushstroke, that.
I stand by my statement.. and statistics and personal experience back me up.
Sorry to hear that. I stand by mine as well.
I can’t tell you for sure they’re all formally involved. I can say they’re related by the societal urge to protect men no matter what.
It’s called the church. It’s always been this way. The fact they get to do this and pay no taxes and sway politics is horrifying.
Yes and…I’m saying it’s all bigger than the Church.
I thought the republicans had made that up. But, it seems they were on to something 😏
Their deflection moment (as they tend to do). Many elected one of its key members as President.
Every accusation was an admission. A projection that if they could they would, so why wouldn't their opposition. And here we are.
Yes. Everyday a new Republican is caught and charged with child pornography and or child rape and or child sexual abuse. The Republucans know this subject very very well
They just used projection onto Dems for what THEY were doing. Not drags queens or LGBTQ
💯💯💯💯💯
Their protection of the Epstein files makes them just as shit
It was safe to say decades ago
There’s a theme for our era.
Despicable and unfortunately, not unexpected.
Trump is thinking about nominating him to run the White House spiritual committee. Pedophiles got to stick together.
GRRRRR!!!
And our pedo president isn't worth talking about?
Unbelievable. I still really don’t understand these people. Was Jesus a pedophile too?!
F the WAPO
Seriously???????
How is this even a thing?!?
Sure seems like most of the men at church are pedo-pervs. And when you look at conservative far right lifestyles and job roles… lots of pedo-pervs in that arena too (i.e. Cops)
This was just from the month of June (cases that were caught). Imagine how many aren’t caught. bsky.app/profile/anti...
(Part 2) law enforcement pedo-pervs bsky.app/profile/anti...
How the fuck is this not on every news source? We are trying to figure out how pedophilia became ok as long as she at least 12 in the span of less than a week and THIS is happening BEFORE OUR VERY EYES?
Amongst both groups, only 1 that is definitely not white.
Basically, multiply each one caught by 1,000. I note that child predators are often family, but that non-family predators groom whole *families* to get access to their kids.
Time for excommunication….
You'd think that would be automatic.🤬
Again a main reason I will never go back to the Catholic Church or any so called organized religion. And my 95 year old mother has not entered a Church for Mass since the sick cover ups were uncovered.
Definitely an established pattern. #LockThemAllTheFuckUp #PeDon
People wonder why numbers are dwindling in religion. And retail churches are growing in certain populations. This is why.
The Catholic Church is a criminal organization that's shielding pedophiles
Religion is so fucked up.
Open season on children under this DOJ.
As long as he's not gay, Pope Leo will welcome him with open arms.
Disgusting news
If this country believed in protecting children, a racist convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, wouldn't be sitting in the WH. The lack of accountability with harsh consequence, has been absent for those that need it most. A vile booming industry supported by MONEY and predatory monsters.
Don’t feed the propaganda machine. #UnfollowWaPo and starve the rich
What the actual fuck
Did he get a job in the White House “Faith Office”?
Sorry to say nothing will ever happen to him. He'll just get moved around a lot. I wish the Pope would tackle this as he would get such support from even non Catholics.
He qualifies for the US Supreme Court🙂↔️
wtf?!🤬
🤮🤮🤮 He should not be allowed to return to any duties and be defrocked. He can easily find a new job in the trump regime.
, I’m sending a, and I’m almost sure my end is near. I don’t care about finding shelter after losing the tent that was sheltering my family. The most important thing is not to get food. Double the price of flour. We can’t buy it today. The prices of vegetables and any product have doubled. Drinki
I guess it’s the age of the molester and making it mainstream
Fkg p3d0 protectors! Anyone taking their children to church are endangering them.
You're fucking kidding right?
Def kid fucking sickos
