Well,I didn't post it but I thought this priest was a particularly opprobrious one. The article about Father Brett shows that he used the island,to escape punihment and to continue his life of following his "passions". He remained on the payroll and was off the radar screen.

The article I referred to in my latest post suggested the island be used in a more Alcatrazish? fashion. All the perverted priests in the company of other like men under the supervision of nuns,I would suggest.

What do you think of the idea? Seriously>

Ooops ... quite right, it was NYer's post.: )

Personally, I think it's more of a palliative than a cure, albeit a curiously appealing one. (I defer to Polycarp to post his picture of the nuns with guns when his FReep fast is complete : )

To me, the radical problem is how to keep these perversely intemperate men out of the clergy from the get-go. IMO, the surest way to accomplish that is the prospect of their facing a strictly enforced, zero-tolerance policy if caught, not exile to an isolated penal colony where they can all "flock" together. If formally accused, immediate suspension of all pastoral duties pending final disposition by the civil authorities. And if convicted and all legal appeals exhausted, immediate laicization and public registration as a sex offender. JMO.
