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.

The priest in charge of my Catholic elementary school was named Father Hands.
Somehow I doubt he could get away with that name today.

The number of priests guilty of such acts is insignificant compared to the number of teachers guilty of similar or worse acts. Across the country, roughly 2 teachers per day are caught in inappropriate situations with children.. yet the media only focuses on a few priests.
funny how that is...

Great News.
BTW, have you heard anything on the parish in NJ that allowed a politicians who supported abortion to speak at their church.
I can't remember all the details, but I remember that the priest was forced to leave while the politician was speaking.
