Yes, priest molesting little boys is BAD, but this is going to bring out all the "victims". I guess communion is going up.

Here is a man who has fought in court the entire way to get out of dealing with this and only when he can’t fight it anymore, he sends his “Oh, I’m so sorry.” Why should we take him seriously? I feel very sorry for all the people who have donated money to the Church to make a difference in the world and help the poor - and have it now go to cover the sins of abusing priests - priests that the church knew about for years and did nothing about! My heart goes out to the victims, which include the innocent churchgoers as well as those abused. What is this world coming to? I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone...

"I have come to understand far more deeply that I ever could the impact of this terrible sin and crime that has affected their lives," said Mahony. $660 million. That's the impact he's talking about.

"Once again, I apologize to anyone who has been offended, who has been abused. It should not have happened, and it will not happen again." Hollow words.

Hitting these bastards in the check book is the only thing that will stop them. Child molesters and the bishops that protect them have a special place in hell.

"terrible sin and crime"An accurate description of Mahony's behavior as a bishop.

Why do I continue to think that big chunks of the RCC are nothing but havens for homosexual child abusers?

The leader of the largest U.S. Roman Catholic archdiocese apologized on Sunday for what he called a "terrible sin and crime" as the church confirmed it would pay a record $660 million to people who were sexually abused by priests. But since the cardinal represents the one true church all is well. < /sarcasm>

660 million!?!
Should have made it 666 million, just for the sybolism.

Here in Dallas we had one of the first 25 million dollar law suits, paid for the sins of a single priest’s homosexual actions. The Bishop declared all the same things as Mahoney and yet last week a new groug of men stepped forward and said that for the last 7 years this Bishop was covering up for a priest. My question is what makes anyone think that the Bishops are not part of the same homosexual problem and happy to hide it from their flock of unsuspecting Cahtolics?

I saw Mahoney on TV this morning. He is utterly pathetic. "I just couldn't figure out what to do..."
Huh?!?
How about getting rid of pedophile priests instead of shuffling them around from one unsuspecting parish to another so they can continue to destroy the next generation and further defile the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

I hope this brings out all the victims, and all the sinful perpetrators, and all those who give a pass to pedophiles and liars and thieves.

I really couldn't believe Mahoney's performance. He was weak and squeamish and almost girlish --
"I just didn't know what to do..."
I'd like to find it on YouTube and replay it.
