The amount of abuse that has gone on and the amount of "covering up" has meant terrible harm has been done to the Catholic Church worldwide (I am Catholic and this whole business bothers me immensely). The homosexual and paedophile sub-culture within the priesthood needs to be ruthlessly purged immediately.

Bump!

I am surprised if this is truly settled. Last I heard from a priest who is an expert witness in some cases was that the attorneys had identified millions of dollars in real estate that the Catholic Church had hidden from asset disclosure documents.

The residency alone of Cardinal Law in Boston is valued at a small fortune.

This is why Boston catholics should NOT put their donations in the boston offering plates.

They should independently support local charities; they should send their money to a deserving parish somewhere far away; they should send it to Rome.

But they shouldn't give it to the Boston cardinal and his ragtag band of boy chasers.

10 MILLION DOLLARS of money for God's kingdom getting spent on their lust. Think of some of the poor folk who put hard-earned cash in the plate only to have it used in this manner.

Everyone, except the bishops, seems to realize this. :-(

Now we know in reality that priests are human beings and prone to being just as faulty, diabolical and evil as other human beings.

Ivan, they always were. What has changed is the level of discipline in the seminaries and the ability (or willingness) of rectors to detect and dismiss seminarians who are not suitable, for whatever reason, for the priesthood.

Now that's what i call EASY MONEY.
