I did. They went back to the town in Italy where this priest came from and found filed allegations of abuse by the priest with minors along with sharing drugs with them. The L.A. Archdiocese apparently didn't lift a finger to find out who this priest was and basically let him start serving from off the street. The priest spoke two or more languages and that's what was needed so they let him in with practically no questions asked. IIRC, another Archdiocese in CA even tried to warn them of this guy after he tried to get a job with them, but nothing was done.
In any case, if any part of this HDNet report is bogus I would expect to see a response/defense in the media sometime very soon.
Disgusting. I have no idea what Cardinal Mahoney's final Judgement will be, but I sure would like to influence it. Even if this is not true, he has a lot of other things to answer for. The Orthodox say that the floor of hell is lined with the skulls of bishops; I have had public issues with the current bishop of my diocese (which has pissed off some of the clergy) and also with the last one. The public issues get me recognized in the diocesan publications (!!!) normally in a negative fashion. Tough. I have six kids. They are going to grow up with a Catholic education - a real Catholic education and not the ersatz pablum that the liberals want to push on us.
