The Historic
BLACK MUSEUM OF PRIESTLY ABUSE
TRUE CASES OF
CHRISTIAN RITUALISED CHILD ABUSE
THEY
DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE.
The following extensive research was exclusively complied
by the S.A.F.F. to provide incontrovertible proof of the existence of repetitive
child abuse within the Christian Church and evidence the fact that it is
often covered up both by the churches themselves AND the charities who are
supposed to protect children from abuse. Although Priestly Abuse is now acknowledged as
a reality this document was the FIRST public expose
of this terrible problem which all the other child welfare authorities and the media
had for decades swept under
the carpet.
At the time we first printed The Black Museum of Priestly Abuse it caused outrage. We were accused of
being reactionary liars with a sectarian axe to grind, but over the years as our findings
were confirmed time and time again the public's attitude changed until it now
begrudingly admits the true awfulness of a society which would sooner stand by whilst little
children were consistently abused by members of the clergy than challenge sanctified
people about their crimes. The presentation of the Black Museum of Priestly Abuse below reflects the
stridency which was necessary to overcome disbelief and shock people out of their complacency
at the time it was first published.
Children are at risk from Priests and nobody in authority will dare to address the problem.
This pamphlet and its following statistical analysis is of supreme importance
to Social Workers, child care professionals and Government. Private
individuals should NOT read this pamphlet any further if they are easily
shocked or of a sensitive disposition.

Report Ends:
NOTES & CONCLUSIONS:
This list finalised July 1991. Every case has
been thoroughly researched and can be fully supported with documented evidence
of dates, places, court records, sources, times and names. It is highly
abbreviated here for practical purposes but we can say that the details of
the abuses are exceedingly horrible and many exhibit virtually identical
abuses to those alleged to take place in so-called Satanic Ritualised Abuse.
We invite further correspondence and offer free research facilities on all
our data to any serious enquirer.
FREQUENCY OF CHRISTIAN RITUAL ABUSE: The S.A.F.F. only
began collecting, collating and analysing Sexual Abuse linked with ecclesiastics
during 1989 hence the sample of cases grew as our scope and ability to source
them increased. The early years are therefore sparse but this reflects the
lack of attention so far applied to them. Since 1978 we have logged over
ONE HUNDRED convictions of Christian Ritualised Abuse. Compare these DEFINITE
cases with the six uncorroborated cases promoters of Satanic Ritualised Abuse
have unearthed over the same period and the true nature of both is immediately
apparent. The average yearly level of abuse going by our 1989/90 & 91
figures can be considered representational at two dozen cases per year, a
shocking figure. We did not collate cases prior to 1989 and we must remember
that not all cases are detected and brought to court but applying the average
from the firm statistics we do have we come up with the terrible result that
whilst Time Tate and his pro-SRAMists have been occupying the nation with
sensationalism about six cases of Satanic Ritual Abuse, more than TWO HUNDRED
cases of Christian Ritual Abuse are likely to have occurred. The tragedy
of the suffering of innocent children in this situation is too miserable
to contemplate.
COVERAGE: Please note that we have NOT included ALL
the cases we have on file. There are many further cases which we have researched
which confirm the overall picture but which are insignificantly unique and
which we have therefore left out. These are open to scrutiny if needed. We
also have a large pile of quite serious and shocking Christian Ritual Abuse
cases which were reported mid-trial and which look likely to have ended in
convictions but which we have not yet sourced the verdicts for.
STATISTICAL COMPARISONS: The data from our research
is now large enough to form predictions of the yearly frequency of what can
now be seen to be a very serious problem of Christian Ritual Abuse. We are
not here looking at a sporadic and unusual manifestation of Christian Ritual
Abuse caused by a handful of rogue Vicars. The shocking facts are that statistics
show a definite and continuing proportion of the clergy who are pre-disposed
to commit terrible crimes against children in their care. This phenomenon
carries across all age levels and is represented in novitiates as well as
established ecclesiastics - it is not a passing node which will eventually
dissipate itself given time. Action must be called for from government to
deal with this problem. Additionally it has to be said that a not insignificant
portion of these Christian Ritual Abusers re-offend when allowed to continue
in their work.
CONCLUSIONS AND CONTINGENCIES: We want to know what
our social services and the Department of Health are doing about this crisis
and why they haven't identified it as a problem? Why was it left to us to
highlight? Additionally we would like to know why there has been such an
immense amount of professional time and resources squandered over the past
three years upon the Wild Goose chase of so-called Satanic Ritualised Abuse,
when its leading promoter , journalist Tim Tate, has only been able to cobble
together six possible cases in the past eight years? (an average of 1.3 cases
per year)Even if we leave aside the argument over validation of these cases;
even if we avoid the controversy over whether Satanic Abuse actually exists
(and our research shows that it does not) then we are still left with the
statistical certainty that more than 100 children WILL be abused by Christian
Sexual Abusers EVERY year yet Social Workers have 'turned a blind eye' to
this DEFINITE sickening threat to the well-being of our nation's children
in favour of chasing the Devil. This certainly isn't through ignorance of
Christian Sexual Abuse for the profession is well aware of the problem but
seems to avoid addressing it as a public issue whenever it can. Ray Wyre,
head of the Gracewell Clinic for male sexual abusers, one of the countries
foremost experts in child-abuse re-offenders, and an advisor to many local
social services departments. He has admitted that Christian Ritualised Abuse
is a well-known phenomenon within social work. He is on record as
saying:
"I have worked with more vicars who have abused
than ever Satan Worshippers"
(Interview with the Northern Echo, August 24 1990)
Additionally as early as 1987, Dianne Core of the
CHILDWATCH group acknowledged the problem with Christian Ritualised Abuse
by personally travelling to London to present a confidential 'dossier' to
the Archbishop of Canterbury which involved data on 10 Christian Ritual Abuse
cases under Childwatch surveillance, five of which were then unresolved.
No specific action was taken by Lambeth Palace on this issue in response
to the dossier and a year later Ms Core took an entirely different tack and
became one of the major players in promoting the idea of Satanic Ritual
Abuse.
Had Ms Core forgotten about Christian Ritualised Abuse?
Did Ms Core's surveillance of the child abuse scene fail to catch the HUNDREDS
of cases of Christian Ritual Abuse which occurred during the next few years?
And what about her parliamentary representative Geoffrey Dickens? During
1987 he was claiming that
"There had been a significant increase in homosexual
clergymen leading to an increase in abuse of young boys"
Yet by 1988 he had joined forces with Ms Core to become
a major player in the promotion of the idea of Satanic Ritualised Abuse and
has not made mention of Christian Ritualised Abuse since. Additionally, why
is it that, in his scouring of court records on child-abuse to obtain data
for his recent book "Children for the Devil - Ritual Abuse and Satanic Crime
" in which he attempts, and fails, to prove a connection, the journalist
Tim Tate never stumbled across or became alerted to the significant frequency
of cases of Christian Ritualised Abuse? So if those at the leading edge of
social work, child-care and the treatment of sexual abuse offenders are aware
of the risk, why have they spent so much time, like Mr Tate, flogging the
dead horse of Satanic Ritual Abuse and ignoring Christian Ritual Abuse? Our
data shows that sentences for NON-clerics who abuse are very much stronger
than for clerics whose crimes tend to be looked upon as 'abnormalities' of
behaviour. Yet our research shows that their crimes are anything but. They
are predictable, repetitive and, unfortunately, far from 'abnormal' in the
general way of things.
SEE BLACK MUSEUM II
Methods and contacts put in place to research the
groundbreaking Black Museum of Priestly Abuse continued to net further cases
as expected. Wider coverage (including information sent to the SAFF by people
who had read BM1] resulted in the publication of a much larger dossier of
evil paedophile acts by priests and clergymen in the SAFF's BLACK MUSEUM
II. which was published several years later. The S.A.F.F.s dogged research
for BMII confirmed the resuls of BM1 but the increased bandwidth UPPED the
statistical incidence of child abuse by priests to THREE per week. Our research
categorically proves that Clergymen are a MAJOR factor in the abuse of children
accounting for at least 150 cases PER YEAR and EVERY YEAR, yet the self-righteous
'advocates of children' who have become obsessed with Satan Hunting turned
a blind eye. That suits the churches very well of course. Those hollier-than-thou
people who have pursued the 'smokescreen' of Satanic Ritual Abuse have aided
and abetted the abuse of children, NOT alleviated it. Copies of BM2 can be see here.
