The FACT is that this instruction from the Vatican has been misapplied. The assumption is that the priest will be punished, but punishment can be anything from slaps on the wrist to punishment that fits the crime. Light punishment for severe crimes are doled out every day in the secular courts.

Your comment is intertesting, in that it seems the RCC is now the full JUDGE and JURY in these cases. And if a perv priest gets a slap, or even a pass...it's OK, "Everybody Does It"!!!
Nice defense...think it'll hold up on Judgement Day?!?!
Tell me just where the VICTIMS get relief for their petition...or recompense for their suffering...or JUSTICE in keeping another Perv in a Cassoc from doing it all over again to another kid?!?!
This little factor keeps getting LOST in all this debate!
