Eleven Priests in Chicago Area Remove

[RaRa]

CHICAGO - Eleven priests suspected of sexual misconduct with minors more than 20 years ago have been barred from clerical work, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago said Monday.


The men cannot present themselves as priests, engage in public ministries or act as an agent of the archdiocese, although they have not been removed from the priesthood, said Chancellor Jimmy Lago."

1. What a joke...not been removed from the priesthood.

4. well, even if they can't do clerical work they're still

useful in the warehouse.
:teehee:

10. No such thing as being "removed" from the priesthood

Once you're a Catholic priest, you're always a priest, even if you don't get to engage in any of the associated activities. These men will receive a salary from the Vatican for the rest of their lives.

2. forget that. put them in jail. I don't get it how they aren't arrested lik

all the other pedos.

3. The statute of limitations won't allow it.

In Illinois the statute states:

Prosecution for criminal sexual assault and aggravated sexual assault may be commenced within ten years of the commission of the offense if the victim reported the offense to law enforcement authorities within two years after the commission of the offense.

6. That's ridiculous

considering the age of some children who are molested.

9. In Stogner v. California, SCOTUS decided that charges can't

be filed retroactively, a huge blow to advocates trying to prevent child abuse.

5. So that's what they mean when they say

Chirstianity is the religion of love.

7. Love thy neighbor, love thy parishioners, love thy evil ways.

They should all burn in hell if there is such a thing. Since it's doubtful, maybe they should be flogged every day at the crack of dawn and at sundown in the town square for all to see.

8. And a NAZI pope runs it all.

Hitler youth was sooooooo pleasant in it's day!
