According to Father Whitney, the province has spent about $8.5 million in recent years to settle sex abuse claims, some going back more than 50 years, and still has dozens of claims pending.

A couple of points here. If they would have nipped it in the bud and prosecuted those sickos rather than sending them on to new unsuspecting parishes it wouldn't be costing $8.5 million now. Also, I'm sure the statute of limitations ran out long before 50 years.

In an e-mail to Seattle University faculty and students, Father Harris said, "I do not want to be a distraction from the important work at hand." He said he believed his resignation would be "in the best interests of both me and the university."

*************

It would be nice if one of these priests simply said "I'm guilty and I'm sorry. What I did was wrong".
