Purging the Church's Predatory Priests

That may be the only way to finally purge the predatory priests who have been allowed to exist within the bowels of the Catholic Church for so long.

The church has been rocked in recent years by sexual abuse scandals in Ireland, Australia, Chile, Boston, LA .... Then two weeks ago we got the shocking results of the country's largest investigation ever into the sex crimes of Catholic priests.

The bombshell report named the priests who had been caught abusing kids, and in graphic and sordid detail it described what they did - again and again, even after their superiors learned of their molesting.

The scandal in Pennsylvania is the familiar horror story: The children who were victimized were not believed while the pedophile priests were protected by the church.

The priests were not defrocked, not reported to police and were often moved to other parishes where their history of abuse was kept quiet and they were able to prey on more children.

It's because of old men like him that the people in the pews don't believe the church is ever going to do what it should to solve its predatory priest problem.

It's because of old men like the Mexican cardinal that the church is fighting for a statute of limitations on filing child sexual abuse charges instead of fighting to have no statute of limitations on sex abuse at all.
