In 2002, Officials in Rome sentenced Gustafson to a life of prayer and penance. In July of 2006, Gustafson was declared disabled and collects disability checks in addition to the support the Pension for Priests gives him. Gustafson also runs his own ‘Leadership’ consulting firm and the church nudges clients his way.

I regularly post stories about pedophile priests... and the FR Catholic hit squad attacks me. They know the truth. They know that their church is corrupt to the core, and they don't care.

Rape of any kind should be returned to its correct status as a capital offense. Convicted rapists should be subject to the death penalty ESPECIALLY pedophile priests who hide behind the church while they rape children.

I don’t know if I’d go as far to say the the Catholic Church is “corrupt to the core” but it does baffle me why the parents of molested children would only report these crimes to the Church and not the police.

If your kid gets molested by a gas station attendant, would you only report this to Exxon and leave the corporation to handle it?

Any bureaucracy is going to be motivated to protect their own.
