in the police stations and courtrooms..NOT ON CSPAN...
This is just the kind of thing that keeps blurring the political/religion line..
I know it's news.. but it was news MONTHS ago..YEARS ago.. Priests are men.. sexually frustrated (and sometimes very creepy) men.. A certain amount of men in our society abuse children..priests and non-priests..
It's a law enforcement issue.. end of story..
The bishops who knew, yet said nothing are equally complicit.. There was a very famous NY case where the wife allowed her husband to abuse and kill their daughter.. She went to jail for NOT stopping it.. Same should apply here.. Hedda Nusbaum was her name..I think :)
All these panels and discussion groups and hearings, are dancing around the salient point.. It's a CRIME !!!!It's not just fodder for political discussions and recommendations.. People need to be prosecuted..people need to be fired..
This whole issue is just being dragged out again, so that the "connection" to deviant sexual behavior of priests can be linked in the brains of the same people who hate homosexuals, and pro-choice people, and people who support gay marriage..
Just like 9-11 is tied to everything ...this is the sideshow for the fundies..
How much have we heard lately about:
Valerie Plame?? AWOL?? WMD lies?? 548 dead soldiers?? Postwar Iraq fiasco??
I feel badly for the Catholics who are struggling though this, but it is NOT "news" in the sense that we have "known" for years, and the people who had the power to stop it...didn't.. Call the cops.. press charges.. :grr:
