Amen to that! I serve on the Pastoral Council of a parish whose pastor was just removed for sexual child abuse (the same day the bishops voted for the new policy). Despite the archdiocese's claim to openness, we were never told of the fact that he had an adopted teenage "son" living with him in the rectory of one of his previous parishes. Sounds like a red flag to me, and something we would certainly would have wanted to know while he was pastor. Yet the archdiocese still has not acknowledged this! I found out from a former parishoner who knew him at the time. And the archdiocese of Baltimore still claims that this was the first allegation against him.

There needs to be a thorough house cleaning. I really think the Pope needs to remove EVERY bishop in the U.S. and replace them with people he has personally interviewed.

No pun intended but from the looks of the Pope he better get started!
