What is going on in the church? Is it really a bastion for perverts and pedophiles?
A very good friend of mine went into the seminary when I joined the US Marine Corps.
When I returned, I found out he was not a priest. Asking him why and what happened he responded. "I like girls too much" It appears he was screened and bounced because he didn't have 'The Sins of Noah' in his psyche. In other words he was truly heterosexual so they kicked him out.
These other bastards should be 'tarred and feathered'.
Child sex abuse suspends priests in US
March 9, 2011
Some 21 priests have been put on administrative leave in the US city of Philadelphia due to allegations that they sexually abused minors or behaved improperly with them.
The Archdiocese of Philadelphia said on Tuesday that it was responding to a report by a Philadelphia grand jury that found 37 local priests accused or suspected of misbehavior with children.
“I know that for many people, their trust in the church has been shaken,” Cardinal Justin Rigali said in a statement.
“I pray that the efforts of the archdiocese to address these cases of concern and to re-evaluate our way of handling allegations will help rebuild that trust in truth and justice,” he went on to say.
Church officials said on Wednesday that they would inform the parishes and other “affected communities” where the priests worked.
Last month, the archdiocese placed on leave three priests who the grand jury said had been allowed to remain in active ministry despite credible allegations of child sexual abuse.
The Catholic Church in the US and European states has been plagued with hundreds of cases of priests sexually abusing children, which senior church officials either dismissed or attempted to hush up.
