Great news, I'm glad to see Benedict stepping up the housecleaning.

this is great and I'm glad that the Church is doing this but why aren't these guys in jail/facing criminal charges?
To: 50sDad
Without the new Pope, don't think you would even have six. Looks like he is cleaning house.

.. Let's see...this brings the total of priests punished by the Vatican for homosexual behavior to...what, six? .. Fair enough question. But suppose this is just the beginning; i.e., "new Pope, new policy"? If the Vatican is lowering the boom on this stuff, every Diocese in the country can expect losses. Why would they single out New Jersey?
It looks to me like Benedict is taking this issue a lot more seriously than his predecessor.

He admitted to plying the youngster with vodka before abusing him in his church rectory.Defrocking these perverts doesn't seem to go far enough.
Caning (ala Singapore) would seem more appropriate for what these, and others, have not only done to youngsters but for the damage they've done to Christ's Church on earth.
About 100 strokes of the rattan cane that has been dipped in salt brine would seem appropriate prior to giving them castration and 50 years at hard labor.
These weasels wouldn't survive the caning.

Good for Pope Benedict!
Prune the dead wood. It dosn't matter how much it takes. Prune it back to healthy green wood again. The dead wood will burn. The green wood will yield healthy growth.
God bless our new Pope!

This is disgusting! What's worse is I went to college with one of these guys. I stood as godfather to another friend's son while this guy performed the Baptism.

Sure, justice takes a long time, and probably some of these crimes were covered up in earlier years when they should have been dealt with.
But now they need to take the time to investigate these cases and do it right. There has sometimes been a problem with false accusations and greedy lawyers.
