As stated before, when at Catholic University, I met such wonderful priests. It is so sad that some degenerates have pervaded the Church, but they are a minority.

The grand jury probe is necessary because the Church did nothing to cure the problem. I still find it absolutely unbelievable that Cardinal Law still within standing in the Catholic Church. Edmund Burke has spoken the best words, ever. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for the good men to do nothing." -- Edmund Burke

They did not want the incident exposed then and I am sure that the victims would not want the incidnet exposed now.
