So, between 1996 and 1998 the Catholic Church knew intimate details about a serial child sex abuser for two whole years and never once reported it to the authorities.
The Catholic Church acted as a law unto itself, and kept this criminal out of jail for two whole years, all the while knowing that he had done these heinous things to defenseless children.
Disgusting doesn’t even begin to cover it.
In fact, the police and prosecutors knew about it LONG before 1996, and did not press charges.
Why are you blaming the Church for the failure of government officials?
Please educate yourself about the basic facts of the case. They've been posted here repeatedly.
Not the “Catholic Church” but Archbishop Weakland—a homosexual and liberal dissenter, did that. My point is that the current campaign against Benedict (Ratzinger) is totally fabricated.
Moreover you are not correct even in your summary of what the diocese did or did not do. But you don’t really care about facts, now, do you?
Damn Weakland all you want. But “The Catholic Church” did x and y is ignorant.
