my son will never be an altar boy.

To be an altar boy is a great honor. To serve God by assisting at Mass in the sacred sanctuary where God Himself in the person of Jesus comes down on the altar from HEAVEN and is offered to the Father as a sacrifice for our sins and to know and believe that the Father accepts this sacrifice is one of the greatest honors one can be given. To allow a sicko priest like Fr. Geoghan to deprive your son of this honor is giving him more power than he ought to have.

Then the Church needs to aggressively attack this problem, there are clearly many predator priests out there. I am not leaving my child in a situation where he will be alone with a priest.

For example Fr Spagnolia, refused to leave his rectory when told to by Cardinal Law. He manipulated his congregation into applauding and defending him (even though the are totally ignorant of the charges), Spagnolia then went on O'Reilly and lied again.

One day later Spagnolia, admitted to 2 "consensual" homosexual relationships. I suspect this too is a lie and "consensual" is being debated.
