Jimmy Savile
#91
I don't think you are quite getting it J4CKO, there is every point in 'dwelling on it' because the institution that is the BBC, the institution that we all underpin with our TV licence contributions has actually covered up Saville's wrong doings for years.
This is the same organisation that criminalises us if we don't pay our TV licence.

It always seems hollow when someone who wasnt involved apologises for something, Like Tony Blair apologising for slavery, maybe if someone who did ignore the rumours is still there/alive then perhaps they can do some apologising but it is highly unlikely anyone is going to come forward for that.
A sexually deviant man took advantage of his fame and fortune to indulge his preference for young girls, he got away with it, he died at 84 without having to answer for his crimes which is tragic but no amount of recriminations or compensation will change that, I cant see the point in awarding people compensation from the license payers money, shouldnt they be suing Savilles estate ?

Savile was a devout Catholic, what a surprise
i mean, is it possible to join that religon without being a kiddy fiddler
I suppose in the confessional, when he confessed his sins, the listening priest could have a good old w4nk too
talk about spread the love

I don't believe these allegations against Jimmy Savile. I met him in Leeds General Hospital in the 1980s and he seemed very nice.
Next people will be telling me he wasn't qualified to perform my prostate examination.

Do you think that someone brought up in and who follows Catholic teachings to the letter would carry out such disgraceful actions?

It was tongue in cheek, surely you can see that, no ?

The problem now is that people are wanting to sue the NHS and the BBC.
So all the latest set of victims, it will be difficult to ascertain the truth. If anyone has even been in the same building as him as a teenager they will be thinking that they can get money.
For example, if you want to grope teenage girls, is it common that you would be interested in prepubescent boys? I wouldn't have thought so ...

without going into the absurd traditions and practices of the Catholic Church, such as the confessional, the general culture, which seems to allow this stuff to flourish because you get a weekly forgiving and resetting of your sins, ready to carry on the next week
surely only a fool can deny the sheer extent of child sex abuse in the Catholic Church - and this goes right to Rome is a scandal – and would seek to examine exactly why this is so
just why are so many men and women in the Catholic Church child abusers
My mother in law has never forgiven the Nuns at her convent school, her stories are truly shocking
and my post was in reaction to the pathetic inevitability that someone would systemically betray a position of trust (Like the Catholic Priesthood) and abuse children, would also be a devout Catholic
Sorry, I have 5 children and feel pretty strongly about this

Is there any evidence at all that Savile was more than averagely devout (which these days means barely a tickbox-worthy level of religiousness)? Discounting the celibacy factor already mentioned above, is there really any evidence that Catholics in general are more prone to this sort of thing than other faith groups, or non-believers?

and if I have got it wrong, I posthumously apologise to Mr Savile
it’s one thing being accused of raping children, but I admit, being accused of being a devout catholic is a step to far
