Which in my State would be a crime if they didn't immediately report those allegations to the proper authorities.
The standard here I believe is 'reasonable suspicion' that children are being abused. No one in my State is exempt from this law. Period.
If in fact they aided or abetted in any way those who abused children they need to be prosecuted and harshly. The Catholic Church does itself no favors by 'transferring' them anywhere but into the hands of law enforcement.
This is beating a dead horse. We’ve already been over all this. This is muckraking of the most vile sort by the verminous media and you’re being suckered right in, or else you’re using it as an excuse to Catholic bash. This is roughly the same as accusing His Holiness of being a Hitler Youth, or Pius XII of being a jew hater.
