That is the only sensible thing you have ever written on FR. And to do such a thing would make many happy, and would be justice.

Next, let's draw a bead on abortion doctors. Then we could work our way over to active homosexuals.

How about marking a bullet or two for adulterers, or fornicators?

I noticed that Billy Sol Hargis died on Monday. His hellfire-and-brimstone spirit lives in the raddie-traddies of Free Republic.

In a serious vein, the Church has to house these abusers somewhere; they can't be turned loose in society, or the Church is liable. Conservative Bishop Alan Vigneron (who has been praised as a hero on FR) has given his OK.

What is your realistic proposition?

What is your realistic proposition?

How about JAIL?

Or if the statute of limitations for prosecution has run out, how about a far away cloistered monastery where they can do penance for the rest of their days, far away from the faithful, and far away from new seminarians.

That's just 2 off the top of my head.

You did make some good points,the principal one being,what are we to do with offenders? Although certainly they could have alerted the neighborhood. Unfortunately,the Church still does not have a good handle on some major problems that are an outgrowth of the abuse. And even more to the shame of the body of B/bishops,they deny the major problem which they do have a handle on.

Complment time is now over and I would like some source of the pronouncement you made about Vigneron's knowledge of the existence of the abusers at St. Albert's and some evidence that if he does know,he approves and further that he has the authority to order an Order to acquiesce to him.
