That is because the majority of cases of child rape by priests outlived the statute of limitations in many states so prosecutors can’t bring cases.

However, in this case there is evidence of collusion among the child rapist priests and church leadership to cover up their deeds.

These gay priests are destroying the church and pretending that it does not exist in face of daily revelations is like burying your head in the sand.

An example from the 2011 Grand Jury Report:



Father John Connor

"Rev. John P. Connor, who had been arrested and placed on probation for sexually abusing a 14-year-old student in his home diocese of Camden, New Jersey, served from 1988 until 1993 as assistant pastor of Saint Matthew Parish in Conshohocken with Cardinal Bevilacqua’s blessing.



Cardinal Bevilacqua - Child Molestor Enabler

When Archbishop Bevilacqua knowingly assigned this admitted child molester to duties at Saint Matthew Church, it was with the directive to “educate youth.”

A year after Father Connor returned to Camden, a priest and a teacher from Saint Matthew warned Msgr. Lynn that Father Connor was continuing a suspiciously close “relationship” he had developed with an eighth-grade boy at the Conshohocken parish.

Upon receiving these reports, Msgr. Lynn acted in his predictable way. He notified the Archdiocese’s attorney, but not the boy’s mother who – unlike Msgr. Lynn – had no way of knowing the priest she trusted with her son was an admitted sex offender."

A Philadelphia grand jury said Bevilacqua had been "untruthful" when he claimed a lack of knowledge about Connor's past.

After learning that a lawsuit was in the works, the grand jury said, Bevilacqua shipped Connor back to the Camden Diocese in 1993.
