The Report also revealed that the Irish Catholic Church had a nonchalant attitude toward the sexual abuse of children under their care – considering this abhorrent behaviour to be both ‘normal’ and ‘endemic’. Abusers, if they were ever questioned about their illegal behaviour, were dealt with through a secret form – a procedure that did nothing to fundamentally address the issue or prevent further abuse. Victims that grew up in Church institutions, later disclosed their experiences, but many high-ranking Church officials were of the opinion that their claims were exaggerated and not real. Church officials thought that the most important thing (for the Church) was to prevent the scandal, rather than help the victims of the child sexual abuse, who had suffered untold mental and physical injuries.

China has clearly and carefully presented this case to CNN – but CNN has made matters worse by supporting Cafferty and applying a blanket silence.
Crystal Palace and the Concrete Dinosaurs – the Original Jurrasic Park!
Knowledge of dinosaurs was in its infancy – but at the time no models had ever been made before for the general public to study. The dinosaur models are big and were placed in and around man-made lakes amongst various foliage. This may be considered a crucial step forward for the development of human science and the freeing of the human-mind from the ignorance of superstition and theistic religion.
