There is not enough details in the story to know the full truth. Sadly, the worse may be true but if it is then the blame goes to the local church, not Rome. I was responding to the headline and the implication of the article that “the future pope stalled pedophile case.” If any one is at fault here it is Bishop Cummins. He had all the tools he needed; he did not act. A church of 1 billion members cannot be micromanaged from Rome. If a local bishop is to blame, hold him accountable. Rather we are seeing a blatant attempt to use the scandal to bring down the pope, and through him the entire Church.

My problem with what you are saying is this....if our Pres. can call a police officer who supposedl called another a bad name, to the white house for a chit chat, and he is in charge of an entire country, then there is no reason why the vatican leadership could not have handled this ASP..and to have known of this within the church he presides over.
