Terrible. That was the procedure before 2002. The priest would confess to his transgressions and promise not to do it anymore. He’d go to a spiritual retreat where he’d be rehabilitated and sent on his way. Who are the Bishops to judge if a fellow priest swears it won’t happen again and mental health professionals sign off on them?

We see the same thing happening in our current society when judges let criminals go if they plead guilty and say they won’t do it again. BTW I’d love to see the comparable stats regarding other religious clergy because I can guarantee it happens in other faiths too.

I see that you are the pope of the Church of Anti-Catholicism. Get a life.

Pedophile priests were sent to Alaska as “punishment”. It was like turning kids loose in a candy store. These pedophile priests proceeded to rape their way across Alaska in village after village. Their horrific atrocities came to light when Alaska’s largest newspaper published an expose in the 90s. Ever since then I’ve viewed the catholic church with utter disgust and contempt. It is nothing more than a corrupt evil organization run by and for sexual deviants.

The film shows the longtime Philadelphia DA, Lynne Abraham, speaking about her ground-breaking courage in going up against the bishops in a city whose population was more than half Catholic, and Democrat by a sizeable majority. She is one of the most skilled, courageous, tough-on-crime and respectable attorneys I have ever known—the opposite of Philly today. Even as a Democrat (it’s virtually impossible to get elected in Philly as a Republican), she did a fantastic job, as her 15-year tenure attests. But during the Obie admin, she lost to (and was opposed at every turn by) the A-A political machine. They didn’t want no death-penalty DA.

How well did the Canadian witch hunt against Catholic schools go a few short years ago? I expect this new ignominious crusade to end just as poorly.
