More than 80 clergy members are facing allegations of sexual assault in a new civil lawsuit launched against the Quebec archdiocese.

Posted: Aug 16, 2022 10:54 AM ET | Last Updated: 13 minutes ago

The class action represents more than 100 victims who were allegedly sexually assaulted, most of them as minors, by priests and other staff working for the diocese since 1940. The diocese covers a region that includes the greater Quebec City area and neighbouring Chaudière-Appalaches, Charlevoix and Beauce regions.

Wow. And the Harper regime signed a secret deal with the Catholic church to relieve this organization of the need to pay $25 million in restitution to survivors of its kidnap/incarcerate/rape hell holes.

Abuse survivors coming together to support each other is healing. Shame on those that used Gods name to sexually abuse children.

Pile of bs it will be dropped like a hot potatoe bunch of liars

Rotten to the core.

Not a fan of the church or any religion but a cardinal accused of making a woman feel uncomfortable by hugging her 17 years ago seems a stretch.

Pile of bs

Glory be to God...Now bow your heads and LET US PREY. Is there any end in sight to this?

How many times do they get a free pass? DefundChurch

This is why I have little interest in region especially the catholic faith!

About Damn time

What continues to shock me is the number of people who still flock to these churches Says a lot about their morality.

Wow, who is behind this lawsuit now? Can they really find and prove that all these priests did something wrong and if so why haven't they brought charges against them instead of a lawsuit to make money?

They will hide these priests and won’t deal with it! The Vatican and all it represents needs to be abolished! They have caused more harm then good and protect these guys as if they have done no wrong!

À se faire rebattre les oreilles par ces désaxés sexuels et faire planer au-dessus de nos têtes depuis toujours le spectre de l'enfer ? L'humanité depuis la Chute, c'est-à-dire la désobéissance d'Adam et Ève,le sexe étant marqué du sceau du péché.

It is about time the clergy are exposed for the scum they truly are.

..they will all just retire at the vatican.

...this is not news..it's been happening for decades and everyone knows...

This is human behavior, why addressing it as if it was the church's fault. Besides,what's the reason behind this concentrated campaign on the catholic church?!!Do u believe that the clergy of other religions did not commit the same crime?why not talking about them

Duh. That’s what they do.

Geez another money grab from some 50’s crap. We so just ban churches altogether and move on.

Prime Minister Trudeau was also accused of sexual assault…the specific allegations are almost identical and arguably more aggressive.

The timing of this story makes me question if it was being suppressed until the after the pope’s visit.

abolishreligion

Christianity a Death Cult which perform genital mutilations on it's children. What more needs to be said There were no White People in the bible. They should all have to pay for their crimes against all peoples.

It’s almost like something is terribly wrong with this institution.

Shocking...lol NEWSFLASH!: They've been a bunch of pedos all along.

Wonder if they will end up selling churches there like in Newfoundland to pay any judgements that could be awarded.

What a great cult… can’t imagine wanting to have anything to do with these people!

This is where the groomers are

No surprise here

Am I the only one a little surprised its only 88 clergy members accused of sexual assault?

If accusations are proven beyond a reasonable doubt he should be defrocked immediately, & let the courts & justice system take over. The Catholic Church needs to finally step up & clean house, open up the windows let the air in & the sunshine of the Holy Spirit shine back in!!!

There seems to be no shortage of rotten apples in the catholic church.

Another member of Jorge's Junta - aka Pope Francis Cardinals - bites the dust! GOD will not be mocked by these EVIL Judas Priests!

I'm so dumb, I was always under the impression that those people that wore those special outfits in church were actually those who read the word of God to others on Sunday. Guess not.

Religion is evil

The church sucks! So much abuse- they make me sick.

What does it take for Catholics to leave this church behind?

Doesn't surprise me at all!

CGriwkowsky Time to get the big guy back for another apology.

These predators protect themselves with sanctimony knowing there are always crowds who embrace it.

Trudeau will protect them

Nothing new here ! And we continue to support catholic education in Ontario !

Trudeau got off easy..he’s lucky…

FoolePeter I have said it before, I will say it again... There is no God. If the church really believed there was, they wouldn't do things like this, and it wouldn't be about money and power.

Not enough God in schools? Clearly there's not enough God in churches

When does the world finally admit that the Catholic Church is nothing more than a giant pedophile ring? Where is the God in that. Frauds...all of them.

Good! Never to late...

Pontifex If IF you were a Moral leader (debatable) 🤔you would throw in Jail ALL Church leaders who aided abetted & harboured Those who are still alive who worked in IRS where Children were Murdered Do it & You need 2 REVOKE & or BURN these 4 Papal Bulls

Wow, I'm flabbergasted! Who knew this shit goes on. FFS, do something about these fucking predators!

No one is surprised. FreedomFromReligion

canteach Charge the Church, the Priests, the Nuns. Set a new precedence. Jail Time, not a quiet Transfer and a NDA Tax the Church. Still harming Children while the Pope comes and basically gaslights Canadians. Even if it is in the name of God, it is still illegal to rape children.

Pick up all evil bastards and put them in jail and throw away the key?

This is not at all shocking! I went to school in eastern Ontario. It was well known that Montreal paedophiles would hunt for children in Cornwall. I personally knew a girl who was raped by a priest when she was 12. It was invested by the local OPP, who were told cease and desist.

Tarnjitkparmar No surprise here.

They smell money!

Time to shut the churches down. If you believe in god he can hear you from anywhere, and you dont need to hand over your hard earned money to do that.

Did someone mention a worldwide pedophile ring?

Jail them! So they can feel in it in prison

So let me get this straight. The Catholic Faith condemns and regularly talks down about LGBTQ+ people, but yet houses the some of the most sick and vile creatures on the planet.

Parents sacrifice their kids to these wicked men and the industry does not pay tax.

I knew something was up when the Catholic Church signed with Nike

Qu'elle Surprise...

When is the world going to stop these CULTS! Because that is all the Catholic Church is, ONE HUGE CULT, who have gotten away with it for way too long. Time to close them down🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪‼️🤪🤪🤪🙄

Catholic Church is the most evil organization in the world. The organization should be charged in the Hague. They are allowed to continue to harm children globally despite their centuries of child abuse.

You can’t find god at the church anymore.

churches should be shut down

And people still follow religion blindly

Revoke tax free status. Charge individuals & their religiou$ organizations with criminal conspiracy, aiding & abetting, attempts to cover up crime, negligence, & fraud.

Something I always find hilarious to repeat is that, in New England, the Catholic Church spent millions lobbying politicians to prevent updates to the local statutes of limitations. The Catholic Church is not afraid to butt-chug every type of evil, seemingly for the fun of it.

Shocked 😲 Not

Worst of humanity are people hiding behind a Church veil raping children, disgusting not sure how anyone can support these pedophiles

Hey look we found 80 more bad apples. It's totally not the orchard though.

just tell us how many are not facing allegations?
