Since it seems the only punishment the church doles out for pederasty is to enjoy an early retirement, why not retire anyone accused? It's not like they suffer and I don't want anyone who might be a molester near vulnerable people. If some innocent priests get caught up in that, well, I guess since the vatican decided to systematically cover this crap up for 30 years running it might take some extreme action to regain trust.

Depends where they retire, hopefully they are sent in some monastery away from everyone to live out a life of solitary confinement and penance. If they are not laicized and the courts can’t indict tem due to statute of limitations, then those that are forced to retire have to go somewhere. I would rather them in confinement in the mountains somewhere than in the public on the loose.
