NEWS ITEM TODAY: The Archdiocese of Philadelphia said it had suspended 21 Roman Catholic priests from active ministry in connection with accusations of sexual abuse or other inappropriate behavior with minors…New York Times, March 13, 2011.
Now let me point out that these are not retired priests who committed sexual abuse years ago, no these are currently serving priests and there are 21 of them.
How did this happen when Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia
A grand jury accused the archdiocese of a widespread cover-up of predatory priests lasting for decades.
I am aware of the cover-up accusations because the whole world now knows that the Catholic Church including the Pope and the Vatican, willfully and with full knowledge of the immense physical and mental damage inflicted on children by these sick-ass priests, did everything in its power to cover-up these abuses as if they never happened. Worst yet, the abusive priests were not disciplined but allowed to move to other parishes and other children.
I was not aware that the practice is continuing to this very day.
I cannot understand how church-attending Catholics can let this go on. I have not read about empty churches, empty collection baskets or protestors at the church doors. These Catholics make a lot of noise about a woman’s right to choose an abortion but sexually abusing children? Well, that is not as important as protecting a fetus, who cares what happens to it after it’s born.
