Which is exactly why the Catholic church needs to reevaluate its *Once a priest, always a priest* mentality and defrock those who are convicted of abuse or who admit it.

The church's handling of known cases of abuse is inexcusable at the most basic level and their failure to act on it only allowed it to continue.

By defrocking those who are known abusers, especially those who went into the priesthood under false pretenses in order to have access to children, it will eliminate that element from the priesthood.

If a marriage can be annulled because one of the parties went into it with false intent, thereby making it not a legitimate marriage as defined by the church, then how can the ordination of a pedophile who went into the priesthood under false pretenses be valid and how can the sacraments said deceiver administered be valid?

Thank you for proving that you had either poor or no catechesis. I am still praying that Jesus will come into your heart.

So the message can’t be addressed so it’s attack the messenger time again, eh?

Thanks for the confirmation that I was right.
