A Catholic Church pedophile abuse investigator is serving time in jail after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography on a laptop and camera memory stick.

Christopher Jarvis admitted to "possessing, making and distributing indecent images of children," the BBC reports. Jarvis, who was hired by the church as a child safety coordinator in 2002 in the English diocese, was first arrested in March.

More than 4,000 images of primarily boys between ages 10 and 12 were found on the 49-year-old's camera memory stick and a church laptop. Some of the photos included images of child rape, the Irish Examiner reports. He uploaded some of the photos to Ning, a social networking website.

There is another Catholic church scandal bubbling under in Europe at the moment. It was first drawn to my attention because my wife runs a bookshop, and it was mentioned in the trade papers. It would appear that Weltbild, a large German publisher and media retailer, is wholly owned by the Catholic church. It has recently been revealed that the company has over 2500 'erotic' books, with unmistakably lewd titles, in their catalogue. Full story here.

It's possible that 'nothing new' is the point of the thread. (Same Old Same Old)
