Opus Dei is a secret organization within the church and their most prominent member is The FBI Spy Hannsen, so much for secret organizations.

And Bill Clinton is a prominent American. So much for America.

See the problem with tarring an entire group because of the sins of one member?

By the way, the spy is just the member of Opus Dei that you know about. I doubt he is anywhere near the most prominent member.

As for the article here, this actually seems to be a strengthening of the rules. Rome is demanding that it be informed of any such activity, so that a local Bishop can't do these things without someone else knowing. This is a move in the right direction.

Indeed.

Not in your example.

Dave I once put a 12-13 year old boy in the hands of a priest KNOWN to the diocese as an abuser..the child attempted suicide (I just shared this on another thread with sinkpur)

Full disclosure is the only correct thing..no "closed door" hearing . I would not ever again trust a young boy to a RC priest because the church can not be trusted in this matter. They are too afraid they will be sued.

Full disclosure would at least discourage those evil men hiding behind a roman collar and give confidence to the church

IMHO
