TSgt is muddying the waters.
The settlement that was agreed to involved redaction.
The complainants had one interpretation of the settlement's redaction provisions, and the diocese had another.
The complainants sued to enforce their redaction interpretation and the diocese has appealed.
That legal process is ongoing.
TSgt apparently believes that the diocese of LA, alone among all entities in the US, should not have the right to appeal judgments.
WRONG!
The files the church released are incomplete and many are unaccounted for. In addition, on many documents the names of church supervisors informed of abuse allegations were redacted by the archdiocese, in violation of a judge’s order.
This isn’t due process, this is bait and switch and coverup.
The court ordered that the documents be released without redactions.
The Archdiocese of Los Angeles fought for six years all the way to the State Supreme Court to block the release of the documents. Early in January, Judge Emilie H. Elias overturned a previous decision, and ordered the archdiocese to lift the redactions of the names of certain kinds of officials: archbishops and bishops, vicars for clergy members and directors of treatment facilities, as well as pastors, “church agents” or employees who had supervisory responsibility over an accused priest and were made aware of complaints or suspicions about him.
The names of supervisors, like pastors in parishes or the supervisors of religious orders, are missing from the released documents.
Rule One: "Rome" is the locus of all evil in the Universe.
Rule Two: In case of doubt, see Rule One.
Conclusion: "Rome" must be destroyed. All else is irrelevant.
I am not a mind reader; I do not and cannot know what other folks are thinking, or how they are motivated, unless they explicitly tell me.
I find, however, that I can predict the actions and statements of some folks accurately if I assume that they are motivated by and act according to "The Rules" above.
Again, I make no claims as to their actual beliefs or state of mind. I merely point out a useful tool for predicting behaviour.
