Alright infidels. It’s time to test how well you can detect forthcoming irony. I give you the following fact:

A Catholic Church child safety co-ordinator who was in charge of investigating sexual abuse allegations was jailed for 12 months today…

Who was this man?

Christopher Jarvis, 49, a married father-of-four, investigated historic claims of child abuse, interviewing the victims when they were adults. He also, as a member of the Devon and Cornwall Multi-Agency Safeguarding Team, had access to police and social services information about victims of child abuse.

Why was he tossed in jail? Think hard (harder than a priest at a daycare) and click below the fold to find out!

He was arrested after uploading images of pre-pubescent boys on to the Ning social networking website. Police officers who traced him to his home in Plymouth, Devon, found more than 4,000 child porn images, mainly of boys aged 10 to 12, on his church-supplied computer and a memory stick when they raided the house in Penrose Road. The court heard that 4,389 images were found on the laptop and memory stick. The majority, 3,721, were at Level One, the lowest level for abusive images. But there were 120 at Level Four, which includes scenes of child rape, and 12 at Level Five, which can include scenes of torture and sadism. Jarvis, who the court heard claimed he was abused as a child, was sentenced at the city’s crown court after admitted 12 counts of making, possessing and distributing indecent images at a previous magistrates’ court hearing.

I’m guessing most of you got an A on this test. I wonder how Catholics would score. If they scored the same, I wonder how they continue to be Catholics when these people, predators of children, occupy the seats of authority in the faith – at least without considering themselves enablers of evil. I hear that even hardened criminals serving life in prison have a low estimation of people who abuse children. What does that say of those who condone it through tithes to pedophilia’s enablers?
