These bishops just don't get it. This one in Arizona waited *5* months to report a priest looking at child pornography. And he has given one of the most half assed apologies I've ever read. The judge has given him two years probation. The maximum sentence would've been a year in jail - if I were judge, I'd have given it to him.
Apparently, we need to make examples of these people so that the rest of them will fall into line. I'm sorry these priests and bishops need our corrupt civil society to teach them basic decency.
to report a priest looking at child pornography.

yes.
“ make examples of these people so that the rest of them will fall into line.”
...i’m ok with that. zero tolerance.

...but how about starting with the school teachers,
who are actually abusing children,
instead of going after 1 priest,
for failing to report another, for looking at photos...
that’s like Obama cutting the budget, by not painting those National Park vehicles.

and many studies show, that other churches have a HIGHER rate of abuse. but they are simply better at covering it up.
...and the government, specifically exempts schools from abuse lawsuits. ...when they have 100 times the rate!
