While that too is abhorrent, image posting doesn’t betray the devout
trust (miss)placed in the self-righteous clergy.
Do you have some study that suggests that clergy are more likely to be
scum than school teachers, police officers, day care providers or
anyone else in a highly trusted position? Amoung greats you will often
find a few that seem to exist to suck perfectly good O2 that the rest
of us could be breathing. I’m not sure there is a specific profession
more highly represented.

Like jarring aftershocks from a mighty earthquake, Boston’s clergy
sexual abuse scandal has registered around the world, provoking what
some scholars have called the worst crisis in the Catholic Church in
500 years.
Within weeks of Globe reports in January about the Archdiocese of
Boston’s secret settlement of child molestation claims against at
least 70 priests, dioceses around the country were forced to confront
the consequences of their own policies about sexually abusive
clergymen.
What they found opened a chasm between many faithful Catholics and
those they had trusted to lead their church.
The clerical sex abuse scandal swiftly reached from New Hampshire to
California, from Arizona to Pennsylvania. It resonated in Ireland and
Mexico and Poland, the homeland of Pope John Paul II, who was forced
to make it the focus of his attention.
By March, Bishop Anthony J. O’Connell of Palm Beach, Fla., had
resigned in disgrace after he acknowledged sexually abusing a teenage
seminarian more than 25 years before when the student had sought his
counseling.
Polls showed a growing majority of Catholics were critical of the way
their church was handling the crisis and demanded that the problem get
immediate attention.
Confidentiality deals to settle lawsuits, designed to contain the
church’s scandal and maintain privacy for embarrassed victims, began
to evaporate as those who had been attacked became irate to learn that
those who had assaulted them had been put in positions where they
could attack others.
By April, dozens of priests from 17 US dioceses had been ousted or
suspended in cases of sexual abuse.
By summer, the nation’s bishops had pledged to remove every abusive
priest from ministry and promised a policy of openness that they
struggled to deliver.
By the end of the year, at least 325 of the country’s 46,000 priests
had resigned or been stripped of their ministry, according to a survey
by the Associated Press.
Earlier this week, the Diocese of New Hampshire became the first in
the nation to admit it may have violated criminal law by failing to
protect children from sexually abusive priests. Faced with the
likelihood that the diocese would be indicted on multiple counts of
violating New Hampshire’s child endangerment statute, Bishop John B.
McCormack signed a legal agreement acknowledging that law enforcement
officials had enough evidence to win a conviction.
The scandal has forced out bishops in New York, Wisconsin, Kentucky,
and Florida. Those bishops, unlike Law, resigned after personally
being accused of sexual misconduct.
And now it has claimed the archbishop of Boston, Cardinal Bernard F.
Law – the man who had come to personify the scandal.
”This has jolted the foundations of the church in the United States
and the shock waves will ripple out for years to come,” said author
Jason Berry, whose reporting helped expose the abuse of children by
priests in Louisiana as early as 1985. ”We’ve seen a crisis in the
Catholic Church which rivals the Reformation centuries ago.”
Almost immediately after the Boston scandal broke, one of Law’s former
top lieutenants, Bishop Thomas V. Daily, was confronted with fresh
complaints that he had brushed aside sexual abuse allegations against
one of Daily’s pastors in Brooklyn, N.Y., where Daily now leads the
nation’s fifth-largest diocese.
Reports in Boston portrayed Daily as one of the principal architects
of the coverup of pedophile priest John J. Geoghan’s assaults on
children. And in the early days of this year’s crisis, Daily resisted
demands from law enforcement agencies that he deliver the names of
priests accused of sexual abuse going back 20 years.
By mid-April, Daily, a native of Belmont, had relented, promising full
cooperation. By September, Daily had reached retirement age and had
submitted his letter of resignation to the pope. A month later, 42
people filed a child sexual abuse lawsuit against his diocese.
Daily is among the former Boston bishops to receive grand jury
subpoenas as part of the investigation that is examining possible
criminal violations by church leaders who supervised sexually abusive
priests.
In city after city, as officials reviewed personnel files and rewrote
policies regarding sexual abuse by clergy, more priests stood accused
and more damning documents were uncovered.
The Rev. Thomas P. Doyle, a victims’ advocate who cowrote a study of
clergy sexual abuse for the US Conference of Catholic Bishops in 1985,
said those documents have distinguished the clergy abuse scandal from
those of the early 1980s and 1990s.
”For the first time, people saw the damn documents right in their
face,” said Doyle. ”That started a process that I thought I would
never live to see, which was the rather quick awakening of the laity
and the rapid shattering of the wall of denial that had existed in the
church. Law will not be the last one to go because there has to be a
whole new way of doing business.”
In February, when the Archdiocese of Philadelphia – the seventh
largest in the nation with 1.4 million Catholics – found credible
evidence that 35 priests sexually abused about 50 children, several
still in their church jobs were dismissed. Church leaders scoured
personnel records dating to 1950, and Philadelphia Cardinal Anthony J.
Bevilacqua apologized and established a commission on clergy sexual
abuse.
In April, when the Rev. Donald Rooney was called by his superiors at
the Archdiocese of Cleveland to discuss allegations that he had
sexually abused a young girl in 1980, he never showed up for the
meeting. Instead, authorities said the 48-year-old priest drove to a
drugstore parking lot and shot himself in the head. Rooney left behind
a one-sentence note, instructing those who found his body about how to
locate his sister.
In August, two Connecticut pastors in the Bridgeport diocese were
ordered by Bishop William E. Lori to perform ”public penance” after
they failed to report the location of another priest sought on charges
of child sexual abuse.
In September, the Society of Jesus in California reached a $7.5
million settlement with two mentally

Interesting that the same press the pilots so roundly criticize anytime
they report anything regarding aviation, particularly GA, now becomes an
authoritative source.
Did it ever occur that to you that the same type of
exagerrations/sensationalizing may be occuring in the reporting of this
scandal?
Here is the same authoritative source (Boston Globe), reporting on GA noise
issues:
Neighbors, pilots feud over noise in the skies
By Kathleen Burge, Globe Staff | June 27, 2004
AYER — The view from David McCoy’s porch is spectacular, stretching from
farmland that has sifted through generations of his wife’s family to the
blue hills across the Nashoba Valley.
But some days, McCoy abandons the wide expanse of porch for a tiny,
windowless room in the basement of his log cabin. In this subterranean
refuge, furnished with a desk and a single chair, the walls are packed
with concrete.
McCoy says he is driven to the sparse space by the noise of small planes
hovering over his house, stunt pilots spiraling beneath the clouds or new
pilots practicing their turns.
"It’s not the most extravagant room," he said of the sanctuary he built
for about $3,000. "But it’s a place to get away to."
The newest battle lines over the noise of airplane engines are drawn far
from the runways of Logan International Airport. In towns like Ayer,
Groton, and Chelmsford, the friction has escalated into a bitter feud over
rights, pitting neighbors who complain they can no longer enjoy their homes
against pilots who argue that they are legally in the skies above their
heads.
McCoy and his wife, Amy, along with several of their Ayer neighbors, are
suing four pilots and two aviation companies that they say have flown
repeatedly and noisily above their homes. Another group of residents in
the area angered by the noise has filed repeated complaints and petitions
with the Federal Aviation Administration, mostly without success.
The residents say they’re not targeting commercial airlines that carry
passengers and supplies, or military flights. Until the Army base at Fort
Devens closed in 1995, the area was home to Moore Airfield. But the
neighbors argue that they shouldn’t have to suffer the noisy burden of
recreational flyers who practice every day the weather is nice, often
starting by 8 a.m., by flying over their houses again and again.
"They’re not providing any vital national resources," said Bill Burgoyne
of Townsend, president of Stop the Noise, a group created to fight the
airplane noise. "These guys are going out there, tearing up the sky, and,
as they call it, punching holes in clouds."
Burgoyne argues that pilots performing acrobatic stunts and flight
training should be required to get permission from landowners below before
they fly.
That argument deeply alarms the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association,
the world’s largest aviation group, which has been tracking the lawsuits
and the efforts of Burgoyne’s group. Jeff Myers, the group’s executive
vice president of communications, argues that the pilots are legally
flying above residents’ homes, at least 1,500 feet from the ground.
The lawsuit is the first he has seen, he said, in which neighbors are
suing individual pilots. The neighbors’ complaints are unreasonable, he
argues, and if the lawsuit succeeds, the precedent would damage not only
aviation rights but make it easier to file lawsuits to quell any
neighborhood noise.
"We all live next door to a neighbor where there’s a crying baby or a lawn
mower or a leaf blower," Myers said. "All these things would be at risk if
somebody could simply say, ‘Hey, you’re too noisy. I’m going after you.’
"
Myers said his group encourages pilots to "fly friendly," and show
sensitivity to the residents who live below. In Florida, for instance, the
group urges pilots not to practice landing their seaplanes repeatedly on
the same lakes. But he doesn’t hide his disdain for the lawsuit.
"It’s really just a matter of some cranky people with too much time and
money on their hands," Myers said. His group is helping defend the pilots
who have been sued.
The fractious relations among some pilots and landowners have spawned a
new group that hopes to find some common ground. Pilot Peter Schmidt
founded the Sudbury-based American Free Skies Association after he
realized that landowners frustrated with the noise didn’t have a forum to
voice their concerns.
While defending pilots’ freedom to fly, the group also hopes to find
solutions to appease some of the landowners. Schmidt sees the group’s
first task as working to improve communication among residents and
pilots.
He is worried that the dispute has become dangerously polarized, with some
on both sides staking out unreasonable positions, such as banning
recreational flying altogether or ignoring landowners’ complaints
entirely.
Schmidt hopes his group can create a model for resolving airplane noise
disputes around the country. "This concern with noise is one that is not
only local to the 495 area around Boston but is something that is emerging
around the country," he said.
In Ayer, Groton, and other nearby towns, the problems began after Fort
Devens shut down and Moore Airfield closed, opening up airspace above
nearby homes. In areas that were largely residential or rural, "now people
had set up basically industrial activity overhead," Burgoyne said.
His group recently filed an unsuccessful petition with the FAA to increase
the size of identification numbers on planes, so residents below can more
easily identify the pilots above. The identifying numbers allow them to
complain to the FAA about specific pilots they believe are flying too
low.
Since the Ayer residents filed their lawsuit last year, they say, many of
the stunt pilots no longer fly above their homes. But the flight training
continues, they say, with dozens of planes circling seven days a week when
the weather is clear. They don’t object to the pilots flying over their
homes, traveling a direct path the way commercial planes fly. What they
don’t like are student flyers and pilots who circle their neighborhood,
practicing aerobatic stunts or maneuvers.
"We’re going to start going away for the weekends, just to get away from
the noise a little bit," David McCoy said.
Robert F. Casey Jr., McCoy’s neighbor and the lawyer who filed the
lawsuit, first bought earplugs to block out the noise of the planes. When
that didn’t work, he also built a soundproof room in his house. But even
once inside, he can still hear the planes.
"The lawsuit claims that residents should be entitled to some peace and
quiet," he said. "There are some good-hearted [pilots] in that group that
do understand. [But] there’s a core that says, ‘The heck with you.’ "
You failed to list the cases against teachers, firefighters, policy
officers. I don’t think you’ve established that this is something more
common with clergy. I’m not sure if it is or not.

Maybe not.
It’s just funny that the same media outlet (in this case The Boston Globe)
that had some pilots fuming (because of a reporter’s lack of knowledge on
some technical item concerning GA) now becomes an accurate and valid
source of info on this highly charged issue.
It kinda reminds me of AOPA logic. For example, user fees: they argue
simultaneously that (1) GA uses very few FAA services and therefore user
fees are not necessary and (2) user fees would impose a ruinous financial
burden on the GA industry and reduce safety (because pilots might be less
inclined to use ATC, flight following, etc.) This is weird and
disingenous reasoning.
The stupid TV commercials scheduled to run on the weather channel will
have no influence on the public’s opinion of GA, and is just another waste
of member dues.
>>>because of a reporter’s lack of knowledge on some technical item concerning GA<<<
It happens all the time.
>>>GA uses very few FAA services and therefore user fees are not necessary<<<
That’s not just BS it’s true for the most part. VFR aircraft use
few(er) services. GA already pays fees based on fuel taxes. The more
you fly the more you pay. What part of that don’t you understand? If GA
disappeared tomorrow the FAA would still have to support the system for
the airlines (the reason the system exists in the first place)
>>>This is weird and disingenous reasoning.<<<
Please explain this.
>>>The stupid TV commercials scheduled to run on the weather channel will have no influence on the public’s opinion of GA, and is just another waste of member dues<<<
Strictly your opinion here, although I’m sure Phil Boyer appreciates
your concern : )
Belfort Instrument Company DigiWx AWOS – Have any been commissioned by
the FAA – And if so, for how long will that last?
I was browsing the locations of DigiWx weather systems from Belfort’s
homepage and wondered how many were actually commissioned by the FAA as
AWOS units. So I started at the beginning of the alphabet and then
started contacting the listed airports and it wasn’t until I got to
letter "G" for Greenville airport that I finally found a DigiWx AWOS.
But as it turns out, there was a wicked twist.The first 9 listed
DigiWx’s (A thru F) are not even AWOS units at all. Imagine that! Then
the next riveting revelation was that Belfort installed a DigiWx AWOS
at Greenville but the FAA has not yet commissioned the system. It seems
that Belfort has not yet gotten their in-house tech support manager
licensed by the FCC. I asked Greenville what happens if the tech
support manager loses his license or quits and moves on. They didn’t
know. One would have to guess the AWOS would then fall out of
commission! Greenville told me that Lake in the Hills airport is in the
same boat. So I called them and inquired. Lake in the Hills has had
their DigiWx AWOS since May 2005 and it has never been commissioned by
the FAA either! How can this be? Belfort Instrument Company claims to
have their DigiWx AWOS system FAA Approved yet there are none
commissioned by the FAA in the field (after I proceeded on down the
alphabet to end with William T. Piper Memorial airport). Isn’t FAA
Approval and FAA commissioning the same thing? Why would anyone want
one of these non-commissioned systems sitting around on their airport
gathering dust?
And then there is the matter of which DigiWx locations are actually
online. On the Belfort homepage, they list hyperlinks for 10 of their
weather stations:
Baltimore Marine Center (BALTM), Baltimore, Maryland
Belen Alexander Airport (E80), Belen, New Mexico
Buckeye Airport (BXK), Buckeye, Arizona
Coral Creek Airport (FA54), Placida, FL (live web cam)
Greenville Airport (GRE), Greenville, Illinois
Moriarty Airport (0E0), Moriarty, New Mexico
Ocean City Airport (26N), Ocean City, New Jersey
Sandia Airpark (1N1), Edgewood, New Mexico (live web cam)
University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center (HMIEM), Baltimore, Maryland
William T. Piper Memorial Airport (LHV), Lock Haven, Pennsylvania
Try clicking one of the hyperlinks because fully half of the hyperlinks
display "Current Data NOT available" How reliable is that? Do you want
want at your airport? One has to wonder who has been "pulling the wool"
over the eyes of those at the listed airports? At this rate, Belfort
won’t celebate a 110 year anniversary or a 130 year anniversary
depending upon whom you believe when Belfort claims their company was
founded in 1876 even though Julian Friez never made it to Baltimore
until at least 1890 to set up shop! If you haven’t read that thread
yet, just follow this hyperlink:

We were considering a DigiWx AWOS and a SuperAWOS. I was sold on DigiWx
AWOS until I started talking with DigiWx users who had the DigiWx VOICE
option including Huntington UT, Annapolis MD, Monticello UT and Ocan
City, NJ after I saw the comparison at
http://www.superawos.com/feature_comparison.htm. SuperAWOS told me I
wouldn’t find any happy users and I didn’t!
All four airports report DigiWx VOICE as not working greater than 90%
of the time. I did hear one user say that DigiWx had mic clicks
available. But SuperAWOS say DigiWx mic clicks is not automatically
adaptive — only manually adaptive which means there has to be
somebody available to alter the message length on an Automated Unicom
transmission.
Considering all the other things I have been hearing about DigiWx and
the Belfort Instrument Company, I believe we will be pursuing the
SuperAWOS product instead even though it costs more. But like someone
already said, buy SHIT and you’ll have SHIT! We don’t want any DigiWx
turds around on our airport!

Subject: Scrooge: Christmas at Belfort Instruments
With everything that I have heard about Belfort, I would think people
should wonder who owns this company. Personally, I thought it was
SCROOGE. A search at http://www.nasdaq.com revealed "No matches found"
for Belfort Instrument Inc. So the company must be privately-held.
A search at
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=Belfort+Instrument+Inc+owner…
revealed:
Reissue Applications Notice – OG Date: 26 February 200226, 2001, Cl.
340/601, PORTABLE METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM, Bruce R. Robinson,
Owner of Record: Belfort Instrument, Inc., Baltimore, MD, …
http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/sol/og/2002/week09/patreis.htm
Then, a search at
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=Bruce+R.+Robinson&btnG=Search
showed:
UtiliPoint International, Inc.

It makes one wonder if he reads his own books! If he had, he’d know
that Belfort Instruments is in the fast lane to nowhere!

Subject: What is REALLY going on at Belfort Instument? Maybe this
information sheds some light on it!
When one does some researching on topics such as Belfort Instrument,
some interesting things are found! Thus, please take a look for
yourself, and see what you think! Sometimes things are different than
they would expect to appear!
Bruce R. Robinson http://www.utilipoint.com/team/robinson.asp says he
"co-owns two electronic instrument companies in addition to his
investment in UtiliPoint."
Nicholas C. Kaufman http://www.quickstrategy.com/advisors.jsp says he
"is co-owner of two small manufacturing companies."
Are Bruce R. Robinson and Nicholas C. Kaufman co-owners of the same two
companies?
http://www.belfortinstrument.com/aboutbelfort.html lists:
http://www.advancedretro.com/
http://www.udtinstruments.com/
http://www.digiwx.com
and
http://www.gamma-sci.com/
Are the Belfort Instrument Company and Gamma Scientific the two
companies that Bruce R. Robinson and Nicholas C. Kaufman co-own
together?
Did Nick read the books that Bruce authored?
And then Guest Columnist Bruce R. Robinson writes:
"Ten wrong turns to avoid on the road to success"
http://www.bizjournals.com/albuquerque/stories/2004/04/12/smallb3.html
So how many wrong turns has Belfort Instrument Company and Gamma
Scientific taken?

In case you’re new to these rec.aviation.* newsgroups, here are some
facts:
Mark Kukucka has been posting this anti-Belfort garbage for years.
Mark Kukucka was sued in Baltimore County Circuit Court for posting
these anti-Belfort rants.
(See the article in The Baltimore Record for more details.
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4183/is_20051128/ai_n15872662/)
Briefly, the suit said,
"A Baltimore manufacturer of weather instruments is suing a fired
employee it claims is on an anonymous Internet rampage.Belfort
Instrument says Mark A. Kukucka has been harassing current Belfort
employees via e-mail, calling the company’s customers and partners
alleging unethical business practices, and posting trade secrets on
the Internet.Defendant Kukucka has an alarming history of engaging in
such ‘anonymous’ Internet attacks against those who he believes may
have slighted him (including past employers), and, absent a TRO, will
continue his historical pattern of making outrageous and harmful
attacks against the material business interests of Belfort Instrument,
reads Belfort’s complaint, filed earlier this month in Baltimore
County Circuit Court."
It is safe to ignore all these anti-Belfort, anti-Shimadzu,
anti-Ryland, even anti-Baltimore Convention Center rants.
They aren’t even entertaining any more … they are just noise.
