Do you REALLY not understand that the REAL scandal here is NOT that a few priests were "bad apples," but that the hierarchy continued to cover for them, move them from one assignment to another without dealing with them as they should have, and attempted to cover everything up and deny everything. Dang! We shoulda asked your opinion in the beginning! You nailed the problem! Thanks!
Unfortunately, this thread is about a priest being smeared by a journalist and has nothing to do with anything else.

Give me a break. Why do you think that so many are jumping on this "journalist" and anyone else who dares criticize the way this was handled? I've been reading Sinkspur's commentaries, and it is OBVIOUS what the bottom line is.
There are people who are willing to circle the wagons and "protect" those who "protected" gross criminality. It's bizarre to watch.
