As much as I want to be elated over this incident, that's not the way it works for me.

May God have mercy on Mr. Geoghan and may the healing of his victims begin anew.

As I hope I have pointed out on other threads many people have experienced and grown from the types of abuse some of these priests have committed.Most teen agers, especially girls that haven't had someone "cop a feel" must have been extremely well protected or have other problems which I am not going to go into.Let's get real,it is not a lifetime sentence,even though it is far worse when a priest takes advantage of anyone.

Many people are getting way over dramatic about some of this. It is important for the bishops to release factual information with respect to the types of abuse,the sexual proclivity of the abusers and the numbers. People pushing for the acceptance of homosexual behavior want to keep everything muddy ONLY to get people off on a million other tracks so they won't notice what's pulling into the station.

Do not,under any circumstances,take this to mean that I am denying certain abuses are unconscionable,crimianl and deserving of severe penalties both as crimes and sins. I am just saying that there are degrees and there are numbers of occurances and they should be scrutinized. When you see a bishop who is squirelly about releasing information you have a bishop who is gay or being blackmailed. Mahoney,Pilarchzyk,Pilla and about 22 more ought to be ashamed of themselves and their dioceses should be demanding they release information or step down. But most won't because they like the agenda.

They would be riding around the country on a cattle car,naked for all to see and ridicule and chastize if I had my way.
