I worry that the analogy will be made with pro-abortion priests; they're able to stay on, and cause even more harm. Why then not the odd NAMBLA man? Tolerance of dissent makes a hospitable environment for even more egregious dissent and even illegal forms of advocacy.
Check out this "gem" from Notre Dame's McBrien:
The Rev. Richard McBrien, a prominent theologian from Notre Dame University, raised the issue recently in comments about the sex abuse scandal. "One of the good things that will come out of this crisis is that the Catholic Church, at least at the official level, will no longer be able to speak out on sexuality. The church's concern with sexuality has been obsessive," he said. (source)This crisis is the one area where obsession with sexuality is justified, and here we have theologians still trying to push their stinking agenda of "liberation" and "liberalization."
You can't defend the indefensible! Law needs to resign for the good of the Church! So much damage has been done because of their(Law, Medeiros and Chancery Officials) silence that only new blood will be able to rectify the problems. Law knew too much and was way too silent.
