In many cases, the bishop ("bp") or archbishop ("abp") used "competent" psychiatric-medical authority advice before putting these men back out onto an assignment. Given that a doctor said the priests were in conrol of their impulses, they were re-assigned. Who is at fault in such cases?
Interestingly, MOST of these cases were not men seducing children who had not yet reached puberty. In most cases, these were men seducing male teenagers. This fact does not lessen the betrayal factor: but in many European countries the age of consent is 16 and what was done here would not even be a crime! The fact is that these were homosexual seductions, not pedophilia.
Why didn't he media report that aspect of the scandal?
I wonder.
