The Boston Archdiocese has admitted for the first time that Irish sex abuse priests worked in its diocese.

No too surprizing. The investigations conducted after the Boston diocese scandal showed it was the “circle the wagons” mentality and arrogant assumption that underlings existed only to serve those above them that allowed the offenders to continue their abuse.

That and an attitude of ‘we’re “THE CHURCH” no matter what’.
