**"I think we have to do something about it; justice has to be served," said Archbishop Mataeliga, who became leader of the archdiocese last year. "Samoa should not be a place where they send priests like that."**

Sounds like the Archbishop wanted to move on this, but the order overruled him. Not that way in the U. S., as I understand it.

Don't be so sure. Ask Cardinal Rigali about the Jesuits. He was trumped in Rome over a number of things (and Rigali was right on at least one of them, IMO).
