None of the Bishops I know have protected any priests - in fact one of them called the police on one of his priests. And that was more than 20 years ago.

I do not, never have and never will condone coverup of any kind whether political, personal or religious.

And I always claimed I was the "average Cathoclic" but I guess to you I wasn't. I was way too involved in the Church - I was a lector and spent lots and lots of time in the Sactuary with the priests and altar boys (I couldn't be one because they didn't have altar girls or acolytes back then.) My father was president of the Parish Council and my mother was VP of the Rosary society.

My dad was a cop, as were a lot of my friends' dads - if there was inappropriate behavior going on in our school or Church he would not have overlooked it.

I believe my brother and I (just like our parents)are in the majority of kids growing up in the Catholic Church and attending Catholic school. The victims of the sickos that slipped through the cracks are in the majority.
