Curious how the NY Daily News can publish the scandal but not the follow-up!
Please ping your lists. Thanks.
A more SEDATE environment????
ANY priest found guilty of this sort of crime should have the book thrown at them.
They have betrayed a sacred trust and severely let down God and His Church.
They are scum!
Touching here is not right, same for groping young boys and girls, but rape is far far more serious. Penetration must be severely punished, death is not too harsh especially for a multiple offender
The state isn't prosecuting?
As a Catholic of 70 years I am disgusted that these louts in the Hierarchy still intend to have their "Trials " in Secret.
These guys continue to maintain their "Mafia Style of Secret Justice" in spite of their reckless damage to the Church over the last 5 or 6 decades.
They are not capable of reforming the church from within.
I live right near this parish and the Msgr. has a lot of support from his parishoners. For over a year they had signs outside the school in support of him. In this neighborhood to have that kind of support with these charges tends to make you believe this guy is a great guy.
I hope he gets a fair trial at least.
"MSgt?" Wouldn't a court martial be more appropriate?
:-D

Check this. Someone is out to get him...
Kavanagh's accuser also believes he has not received due process.
>>Daniel Donohue, 40, who grew up in Peekskill and now lives on the West Coast, said yesterday he has heard little from the archdiocese since he appeared before its review board in February 2003.
"The secrecy, the closed-doorness of it, continues to mar the whole process," he said. "People want due process for Charlie? What about due process for me?"
Donohue was a 14-year-old freshman at Cathedral Preparatory Seminary, a high school for prospective priests that was then in Manhattan when, he says, Kavanagh began an intense, six-year relationship with him with romantic and sexual overtones.
Donohue insists that Kavanagh, the head of the school, hugged him inappropriately, lay on top of him on a couch and finally got in bed with him during a trip. Donohue eventually dropped out of an undergraduate seminary and says he tried to put his experience with Kavanagh behind him.<<
Nothing sexual. Sexual Overtones???
