HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa. -- The bishop of the Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown defended himself from allegations of letting pedophile priests go unfettered, acknowledging in a diocesan newspaper mailed yesterday that he has active priests accused of molestation -- but none against whom charges were proven "despite active investigation."

"In the past, I have taken the advice of professional evaluators as to whether ... [a priest] would need to leave active ministry altogether," Adamec wrote.

Don't forget to dry your hands when you're done washing them, Pontius Adamec.

"There's not a shred of remorse whatsoever."
