According to the news, 75% of all those in prison suffered some form of child abuse. If that's true, perhaps we should reflect a bit on just exactly what it is we use our prison for.

As for the priest, he was 'the engineer hoist on his own petard.'

Agreed. Whatever the numbers, if society (meaning both the state, the church and most important the FAMILY) got back in the habit of teaching children right from wrong in absolutes, then perhaps we wouldn't have so many problems finding and managing the grownup sick freaks.

But I am old school with Spanish blood in the veins. If it were up to me, I'd take pedarist priests, try them in a Star Chamber, then put their head on a spike at the Church entrance for all to learn.
