One simple question: What corrupt deranged moron ordains and protects men like "Satan" and for what specific reason?

"We would prefer to settle any claims like this out of court,"

Luckily, it's not up to you. Sun light sends the roaches fleeing for safety and the Church seeks to continue to protect them.

The fact that he's abused at least one 13 year old girl makes me wonder if the charges by these guys might be bogus.

he functioned as a charismatic leader who gave kids alcohol and drugs, the suit alleges.

Gee, charismatic is not what we called someone with a reputation for handing out booze and dope when I was a kid.

If I recall correctly, the popular term was "pervert".

Guess what we called kids that hung around with perverts.

The headline from the newspaper is incorrect. There is no such thing as an "ex-priest". According to the catholic (and not just Roman Catholic) theology of the Sacrament of Ordination, when a man is validly, canonically, and apostolically ordained by a bishop - that ordination confers upon him "indelible character".

That priest (or deacon or bishop) can be suspended, deposed, and excommunicated. But he can NEVER be ordained again. He can be RESTORED to the ministry. Ordination to holy orders is eternal - forever.

To make this clear to the laity, the Sacrament of Baptism is a good example. If you were once properly baptized with water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- that baptism is eternal. It can be repeated a million times but not one more iota of grace will be conveyed. It's a once-done deal.
