Has Mr. Keating backed down a bit?

[Polycarp]

he will seek neither criminal prosecution nor Vatican action against bishops who cover up sexual abuse of minors by priests. Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, a Catholic, says the new national review board he heads will rely on public outrage to force change in the church.

Then why do we need Keating?!? We already have public outrage!

Keating - "The tough-talking former prosecutor....says he will seek neither criminal prosecution nor Vatican action against bishops who cover up sexual abuse of minors by priests."

The cover-up continues. Message to Keating: Don't be part of the problem. The acts were illegal. The cover-ups were illegal. Prosecute 'em. What would you decide if it had been YOUR teenage son?

President Clinton's former defense lawyer Robert Bennett

I'm sorry any panel with Robert Bennet on it has zero credibility with me. And yes I know he was doing what he was supposed to do in an advocacy role...but time and time again, despite the evidence, he took the side of the perp.

Bennett has sold his sole to the devil and the whole barrel is rotten to the core due to one spoiled apple! (ewwww...nice mixing of metaphors)

What we must all remember is that first and foremost is that they are all men, subject to th same fault and defects as the rest of mankind.

They are not, again not, little tin Gods.

There is nothing that excuses them for their evil acts any more than the rest of us common people.

I do not understand why there is any debate about the crime that was commited and the punishment that we all are subject to by the law.

The crime was commited, it was denied, coveredup, paid off,lied about,and ignored.

TIME TO REMOVE THE TRASH, NOW!
