"This diocese has it's share of problems, that's for sure."
I know this is off topic but I read an article in the Republic the other day that basically said that the Vatican was protecting three priests from the Phx diocese from being sent back to the US to be prosecuted for the sexual molestation of minors. Why would the vatican do that?
From the article:
Paul Pfaffenberger, Arizona leader of the Survivors Network of those Accused by Priests, or SNAP, said the Salvatorian order was "complicit and morally responsible" for the disappearance.
According to the article, the Vatican did no such thing. They were not protecting him, he was under "house arrest" at the Rome Headquarters of his order, awaiting extradition. He got away.
The problem is with the order, for not keeping a better eye on him, not The Vatican.
That said, back to our regularly scheduled topic....
