PLYMOUTH, UK -- A child protection official for the Catholic Church has been caught with 4,000 pictures of child porn.
Father-of-four Christopher Jarvis was arrested after uploading pictures of children being abused to a website.
Married Jarvis, 49, a former social worker, was employed by the church following sex scandals about pervert priests. His job was to monitor church groups to ensure paedophiles did not gain access to children in the church’s congregations. But he was caught by police in March with more than 4,000 child porn images on his home computer and his work laptop.
He admitted 12 counts of making, possessing and distributing indecent images when he appeared before magistrates in Plymouth and is likely to face jail when he returns to court for sentencing next month.
Jarvis, who has been sacked from his job as child safeguarding officer, worked the Diocese of Plymouth for nine years.
Church spokesman David Pond said: “Mr Jarvis was suspended from his position as soon as the diocese became aware in March of the police investigation.
“The Bishop took that action and since then the Church has worked closely with the police.”

Not at all surprised. The surprise is that the idiot thought he'd not be caught.

And now we take you to Canada, where I am sure the Catholic Church is very sorry they ever gave this man a job. Perhaps he has an English connection as well?

Good Lord!
I did have to smile at the bit that said, 'prelates who sexually abused minors can be defrocked'. They take their dresses off them? They should've kept them on in the first place!
The Catholic Church is not the only organisation where this goes on, but they've obviously got a huge problem and it's the same all over the world. It's a sick culture but what else would you expect when you've got an outfit run by weird old unmarried men in dresses?
They're totally out of touch with real life. They recruit men only, usually from a very young age, and subject them to a very strange lifestyle, forbidden to marry and expected to remain celibate for life which is totally un-natural. Then they provide them with the ideal conditions and give them unsupervised access to vulnerable children. Of course it's going to attract paedophiles - it's their version of Heaven on earth, but it's Hell for the kids.
The whole bloody shebang should be shut down and outlawed forever.
