The time-bombs at the moment are Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Hey, if there have been some really incredible priest scandals in conservative
places like Louisiana (one from about 10-20 years ago was covered on Sixty Minutes II
a couple of months ago) only caused a ripple in the criminal/civil justice system...

how can we expect priests in Los Angeles and San Francisco to get a real smack-down
for bascially acting in accord with mores accepted by too many as "local community standards".

I hope you are right and that most of these stinkers get what they deserve (with full
justice administered).

But the intertwining of the Catholic Church and the one-party Democrat rule here
tells me that District Attorneys, even Republican ones, will pull their punches.
E.g., Steve Cooley, (R), the current district attorney for Los Angeles,
is a faithful attendent at a Catholic Church that Manhoney used as a forum
to issue one of his "apologies".

A few of the worst cases will end up paying for the sins of the many...

THus proving that Mahoney is more politician than man of God. Darn it. I'm still praying for deliverence for the people of Los Angeles from the cardinal.
