You are aware that in many cases, putting him under house arrest and assigning him to a different diocese is more rather than less lenient than what he would receive from the courts?

Sure it's more lenient. That's the problem. That's why there were serial molesting priests.

Anyone who molests children deserves to be in jail. Indefinitely. No questions asked.

No keeping him out. No way, no how.

Blah.

It’s stricter. Most molesters are out in 2 years if they are successfully charged. The reason there are serial priest abusers is because of the bishops.

Well, talk to the courts. Most are out in 2 years.
