Just when I think the legacy of Catholic child molestation cannot get any worse, it somehow manages to do so. It seems that a child safety coordinator employed by the Catholic Church and tasked with investigating various child abuse allegations was convicted of child pornography.

I know what you're thinking. Maybe he had been keeping the images as evidence in his investigations. I don't think so. You see, what led to his arrest in the first place was that he had been uploading the images to a social networking website.

"The revelations that the church hired a peadophile in a key child protection role will add to the controversy surrounding the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales over its handling of sexual abuse."


Nice!
