Although the Luddy trial made daily headlines, not all was told in the public courtroom. But closed-door meetings are part of the public record, which the Tribune-Democrat recently reviewed.

We should expect more and more investigative reporting of this type in the near future as journalists review past trials. Bring it on.

BTW, Polycarp, this story ought to make the billboard you guys put up in view of Adamec's residence look downright prophetic. Good work!

Saylor told of four boys who were molested in a basement in Altoona, and how the diocese warned a priest to leave the state that night and then allowed him to come back and stay in the diocese.

I grieve for so many boys who have lost their faith in God. These sex-obsessed priests probably gave little thought to their clerical duties. Their minds were plotting their next conquest, probably even during masses, weddings, and funerals.
