Only one course is acceptable:
1. Turn priests who have been accused, are suspected or are knowingly guilty of pedophilia over to civil authorities, AND

2. Cast out all those who have harbored and protected them. Do both of these immediately!

Love the picture! Didn't like the article. I am sick and tired of the word "pedophilia" - this article used the word exclusively and never used the word "homosexual" which is what the problem is.

I went to a "listening session" at my church last night. One of the priests got up to speak, he has been a priest for 55 years. He said one of the evils that we will always suffer due to the actions of a few sick priests is that the trust between the priests and the children is no longer there. He used to play baseball with the boys and take children for ice cream in his younger days and it was a great pleasure for him to do that. He broke down during speaking - and quite a few of us did as well. I remember those days as well - we had a family friend who was a missionary priest and he used to visit my family and take my brother and sister and I all kinds of places, we always had a lot of fun and got to see a different side of priests - it is a tragedy that kids today will not experience those things.

Pray for the victims!

Is this the view from the key-hole of the Knights of Malta on the Aventine?
