Subject: Please help us find Madeleine.

On behalf of Kate and Gerry McCann and all the family, please help
us find Madeleine. Madeleine, age 3, was abducted from her bed in the family holiday apartment, Praia De Luz , Algarve , Portugal on Thursday, 3rd May.

Police and all of Portugal are trying to find her. The Portuguese people, holiday makers and ex pats have been a great support to the family and
continue their efforts. You, too can help. Please circulate this plea to publicise Madeleine's photo and ask for information, no matter how small to be passed on to the authorities. Whether you are in the UK , Portugal , Europe or beyond, please forward to all your family, friends,colleagues and business associates. Someone out there will have some information that will lead to Maddy's return.
The internet can be a powerful tool in finding Maddy, who is so loved and missed by us all. Let's use it positively. Please pray for Madeleine and all the family at this devastating time. We need your help. We know you won't let Maddy down.

God bless,
Pat Perkins
(Family friend)

One year on and still nowhere nearer.

Still one day, something will happen that proves the parents or friends were involved.

Think you can probably add the local priest, to the above statement, also.
Dont they take a vow of confidentiality?

Nothing a Pope can`t resolve, I doubt the Macanns are that stupid.

The code of Cannon law of 1388 allows the Pope authority to grant the Priest to disclose information to the Apostolic Penitentiary , contents of the penitent`s confession without the Priest being Excommunicated.

If I was the Priest and a child killer confessed to me, I`d burn in Hell for strangling the Bas88rds.

Any Priest who believed in a forgiving God should grow a pair of cojones and at least tell the authorities and then take it up with the All Mighty at the gates and tell the Pope to Beso muy culo.

Child abuse is rife within the Catholic Priest community.
Hey come on, get real.
Catholicism/hipporacy, I think!
Before all you God lovers burn me at the stake. Just remember one thing.
If there is a God, he s watching YOU too!

Not really, and I ain`t a bible basher, me , god and the devil would never get on.

The Catholic church views Priest`s differently because they believe the punishment will come from God, simply excommunicating there arse`s won`t solve or stop them committing there sins.

And the punishment according to the Religion believes a Priest will receive harder treatment in Hell than a guy who got banned.

Its a hard concept to conceive but they do believe that God will sort out the problem and that life as we know it will continue after death, so there not really ignoring the problem, there using a higher force to punish.

Whilst non believers condemn the church, true believers put there faith in god and when there day comes it will be both harsh and painful.

And for the people who suffered untold good will bless them beyond this world.

So there.

Eternity is a long time.
