First it lists priests accused of abuse. Not convicted. Most of the allegations I believe were probably true. But some are not. Convictions and settlements are spelled out in the profiles. Secondly very few of them were actually cases of priests abusing somebody while they were active chaplains. Usually what happened is that earlier accusations came to light while the priests were serving in the military. Not all transfers to military service were to hide the abusive priests. But that is not what the introductory paragraph on Bishop Accountability leads one to believe. It wants you to believe that these priests were abusing serviceman and/or their families. Yes some were guilty of that. However most were guilty of or accused of earlier crimes. Those crimes mostly did not come to light till years later. As is typical in these cases.

There is enough real guilt that I don’t understand the need to imply that U.S. serviceman are unsafe because of Catholic Chaplains.

The link said the RCC dumps pederast priests into the military, and then gave substantial evidence of that fact.

Once in the military, with their criminal pasts unknown to military servicemen and their families, these pederast priests are free to continue whatever abuse they can manage.

The link was an astounding indictment of the Roman Catholic church. Pity that some people missed that fact. Unless sin is acknowledged, it can never be repented of.
