"Once the priest had been laicized, John Paul II, as pope, had no more authority over him than he had over Frank Sinatra or Madonna Louise Ciccone or a prior pope had over Martin Luther, or a near infinite number of other cases. The pope had far less power over this miscreant than did his parole board, namely none."

If the Pope didn't have any power over this individual, how was it possible for him to to recommend that this person be moved to a new location? Obviously he had enough power to have that done.

And? That particular actions fits a pattern exhibited by the Church at large concerning this very issue. After all, the way in which they've dealt with this problem in the past is exactly the same way in which the Pope himself chose to deal with the particular person. The pattern is well established at this point.

I don't want to see any more harm come to the Church, but this this is bad news indeed.

The answer to your post is that I hereby direct the Arkansas Antichrist and Mrs. Antichrist to be banished to a deep cave, never to be heard from again or to communicate to any other human being again. Of course, they don't listen to me, which is one of their major problems, but, for the record, that is what they should do. There, that's better?
