I feel if a person has an illness, whatever it should be, what we should do for these people is pray for them and not criticize them or write stories about them,

We should not criticize child molesters???????? Boy am I ever doomed for hell.

The pope seriously needs to say this is grounds for manditory defrocking, and the defrocking of any bishops who ignore claims without a proper investigation.

I was recently on another forum and this subject came up sometimes in the Religion Forum. Many loyal Catholics became upset and complained to the mods that some posters were being "anti-Catholic". Seems now the mods there have agreed and have greatly circumscribed the parameters of this discussion within more politically correct confines.

Glad to see it discussed here though. It is my understanding that Benedict takes these cases very seriously so there should be a good housecleaning in no time. Could start with Cardinal Bernard Law who still has some perks in the Vatican and even runs his own church over there.

"We should not criticize child molesters???????? Boy am I ever doomed for hell."

Me Too! Can you give us a little background on this story? I remember some of this from the time Stafford was promoted out of Denver, but that story is over 10 years old. I also know that the Denver comPost dislikes Chaput because he is a conservative Catholic and acts it. Since this all happened before Chaput came to Denver it makes me wonder,is this a continuation of the vendetta or has something new happened?
