Chicago is ground zero for the Communist infiltration of the Catholic Church in America.

I’m not clicking that source to find out what source they’re using to come up with this.

The only effective way to deal with predatory, criminal, homosexual priests is to arrest, prosecute and imprison them. Doubt in states like Democratic Illinois the LBGT power structure is allowing police and prosecutors from doing what is necessary. The law is not being enforced or more would already be in jail. Where are the prosecutions?

I believe in innocent until proven guilty.

...the bad part is that things have fallen so far that all or the majority of them being guilty is actually plausible.

People should read the article before jumping to conclusions.

This is not a government report; it's written by (IIRC) a law firm which has made good money chasing after clerical abusers.

Not all of the allegations are credible or substantiated.

Not all of the alleged perps are still alive.

Some of them served in Illinois only briefly or incidentally -- most of their career was elsewhere, IOW -- and the accusations of abuse did not necessarily happen while they were serving in Illinois. (This means that they could be counted as "sexually abusive priests" multiple times in different states.)

It appears to include abusers who were removed from the priesthood on account of their abuse.

It's bad, but it's played up to be even worse than what it is.

I'm still waiting for these law firms to start putting out lists of public school teachers that have been accused.

[Yeah, that'll happen.]

There needs to be a Vatican III Conference and allow the priests to get married.
