This community is in my county. The details still aren't all out. What is your gut feeling, do you think it might turn out to be totally innocent, and a mistake of some sort?
How sad, that this church... has NOT DONE ENOUGH to stop this filth... This should not be happening by now.... obviously this priest is a degenerated/Criminal who probably has done this more than ONCE, and I will bet you... that some one IN THE CHURCH knew what was going on... and as usual, looked the other way. That seems to me the modus operandi of the church in these matters, except of course when they are in full PR mode... because they HAVE TO PRETEND they care and do the right thing... but I do not believe them, it is all for show.
I know some people will not like my comments and will jump to defendthe church (how unfair of me /s)... but I know, deep in my heart, there is a lot of CORRUPTION still in that church, still hidden under the surface.
Their SILENCE in certain "cultural" issues... tells clearly where they really belong.
