In Akita, Japan -- Sr. Agnes Sasagawa:

Pray very much for the Pope, Bishops, and Priests...The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres...churches and altars sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord...The demon will be especially implacable against souls consecrated to God.

I can't think of anything more awful than a priest, for whatever reason, allowing himself to be led down such a despicable path when he abuses a young charge. Our Lord's remedy was a millstone around the neck. Mary is still right. We need to pray for all priests.

I remember reading of a seer who was given to understand that when a priest goes to hell, his thumbs and forefingers burn brighter than any other part of his body.

re: Akita

That's the one. Thanks. EWTN ran a documentary ("Hill of Redemption")recently which discussed this in part. Interesting stuff. Curious coincidences, right?

Deo gratias.

Really??? Could you explain that one? Or do I really want to know... heh.
