The Atty General's plan is a travesty.

So, is the Catholic Church's handling of molestation.

The govt needs to butt out, and the Church needs to get it together, my son will never be an altar boy.

The diocese in this area has taken pains in TV interviews to point out how they have had an outside body set-up for many years that investigates all allegations of abuse. The local church authorities apparently play no part in the investigation and only come into the process at the request of the investigative body. Perhaps most areas of the country have such proceedures.

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.
