OTOH, the Episcopalians call the cops on abusive clergy; they don't shift them around and try to hide them behind canon law.

We've gone straight around the bend on this politically correct stuff. But what is worse is that some people now cave into the fatally-sensitive at the suggestion of an improper thought!
Being from Boston and a Catholic, I am happy to see Cardinal Law resign from office. He enabled so many of these child abusers to continue to prey upon (8 times out of ten) young boys. Well, now the Church in this diocese is facing bankruptcy. That is a shame but it is far better that at the end of this process we will have religious orders and church that are closer to bedrock Catholic principles.

I've been hesitant to ask this question, as I do not have the flame-retardant long-johns on...

leaving pedophilia out of this for now.. I thought Roman Catholic Priests took a vow to be celibate. Regardless of being homo/hetero sexual...... shouldn't priests be adiosed by the Church when they break their vows ?

Grant Swank is lying in this flame. Preachers of all faiths should never lie.

He cites some bishops who will be gone a year or so if they condone what they are saying. If they are caught doing a Cardinal Law with a homosexual predator priest, they will be on the streets themselves looking help and employment.

Any priest even suspected of being a sexual predator in our area is immediately relieved of duties. If he/she/it is guilty, they will not be transferred. Our bishop will help the police to remove this cancer from society and see that he/she gets appropriate jail time.

In closing, there are probably as many sexual predators in Swanks's religion as the Episcopalian religion. Sexual predators are both homosexual and heterosexual. Swank had better be really careful here as his words might just come back on him and his buddies.

It doesn’t take much to get those pro-gay Episcopalians into one grand snit. And now they are up in arms big time. They are really getting quite evangelistic about the matter—poking their pulpits, ranting and raving, just about to hit the campmeeting sawdust trail.

Which is why it's a shrinking church. My prediction - when the Catholic Church bans homosexual priests, there will be an even greater flow of Episcopalians into the Catholic Church than there is now.

However, Dean Hudson, Crisis magazine editor, a traditional Catholic journal, said ''There is credible research that suggests the homosexuals are three times more likely to be pedophiles than the general population. And given that organizations like NAMBLA have openly advocated sex with boys, the lines between homosexuality and pedophilia are not as clean cut as the bishops would like to make them.''

The Catholic Church in America (and quite a few other countries) is credible research ITSELF. A minority of priests, homosexuals, are responsible for 90% or more of the sexual abuse cases - almost all against teenage boys. It's quite obvious that homosexual priests are far, far more likely to molest teenage boys than normal priests teenage girls. The Catholic Church will come down on the side of protecting teenage boys and their families (I hope and pray.). The Episcopal Church will be leaving families behind.
