You mean your original question? I have no idea. I know nothing about this pol, and it doesn't matter. Denouncing Muslims isn't a prerequisite for being outraged at covering up child molestation. If you read the story, he was repeating the allegations of an investigation. Unless you have some reason to challenge the findings, the messenger is irrelevant.

The answer is likely a resounding no, and it certainly does matter. It is very de rigueur amongst the left to bash the church. The irony and rank hypocrisy of these same pols is their championing of decadent values and indeed pushing mainstreaming of homosexual behavior are the very values and actions that have led to these problems within the Catholic church. There isn’t a single FReeper here who excuses child molestors, it is the hypocrisy of these certain politicians that should be questioned and their deafening silence on the root causes, nevermind their added silence on other monstrosities that are either at their doorstep or well within their house.
