Who is protecting criminals? It isn't the Vatican... Vatican Laicizes Archbishop Josef Wesolowski for Sex Abuse of Minors. It's nearly every government around the world--including our own. The Vatican is one state that takes things seriously.
Apparently, the RC Church is evil, because they’re putting the trial and verdict before the sentencing. Perhaps some people have mistaken the Pope for the Queen of Hearts ...
Perhaps James Carroll isn’t an honest broker ... and the Boston Glob is part of Leftist Big Media, and should be given the same credibility as the New York Slimes, the Washington Pest, and the Communist News Network.
Naaaaahhhhh ...
I agree it is widespread. I still feel shame for how JP2 brought Cardinal Law to the Vatican when the Boston abuses where pointing toward his ineptitude in handling of the cases. The Cardinal should have had to answer for his handling of Boston.
