My question is valid and simple and you refuse to answer it for some reason. I'm not sure why.
on Post 12 TSgt sent a message the last part of which reads:
...Kiesle had been sentenced in 1978 to three years' probation after pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of lewd conduct for tying up and molesting two young boys in a San Francisco Bay area church rectory. As his probation ended in 1981, Kiesle asked to leave the priesthood and the diocese submitted papers to Rome to defrock him.
Apparently he remained a priest through his 3 years of probation.
Thus the question - Why wasn't that done three years earlier.
I am sorry if I was cruel to you - it seems so obvious to me, that I thought it was just a set up for the real post you had in mind.
