Is that article you linked with an incredibly slow load? I have tried to get on through NY'er's link from another thread and now yours and it gets to 38% and stops. I am wondering if they found out it was fabricated or forged,that's probaably wishful thinking,but,any thoughts?
Read through the first part of the document. It seems that it is specifically dealing with solicitation during, or immediately before or after, the Sacrament of Penance, i.e. Confession. In other words, it is NOT dealing in a general way with all sexual abuse by priests. Just the particular situation of a confessor soliciting from a penintent during the sacrament, which we all know involves a seal of secrecy.
I don't find this document shocking. Whether it is authentic or not, I don't see how it can or will be helpful to those who wish to use it against the Church in a court of law. Well, other than to misrepresent it to try and smear the Church in the secular press, but other than that, this is no big deal.
