Monsignor in Philadelphia found guilty of child endangerment
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | June 24, 2012 | John P. Martin and Joseph A. Slobodzian

PHILADELPHIA -- A jury convicted Monsignor William J. Lynn of child endangerment Friday, finding that the Archdiocese of Philadelphia secretary for clergy ignored credible warning signs about a priest who later sexually assaulted a 10-year-old altar boy.

The verdict, after a three-month trial, marked the first time since the clergy-sex abuse scandal erupted a decade ago that a U.S. Catholic Church supervisor had been found criminally liable for child-sex crimes by a priest.

One can only assume that the ones covering for the pedos and queers and the ones who stay silent on the issue are queers and pedos as well, and are just as guilty...
Be interesting to see what their pope says about an esteemed Monsignor being caught with his dress pulled up...

Your particular judgment will be interesting as well. Pray that the Almighty has a soft spot for individuals with your level of acumen.

An article about jury deliberations was posted, by a Catholic freeper no less. Thread wasn't updated to indicate that Lynn was indeed found guilty.

My particular judgment as a Christian has already taken place...

"My particular judgment as a Christian has already taken place..."

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." - Matthew 7:21

"You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?" - Matthew 7:16

Can you point to the Fruits of the Holy Spirit in your posting history?

Peace be with you.

A ‘Christian’ who doesn’t believe in the Trinity? Interesting... how’s the Ramzan break coming along?

I never said I didn't believe in the Trinity...You did however deny the scriptures in Romans 11 as all good muzlims do...

You're spending way too much time with those muzlims...You're even picking up their language...

Is that a Catholic thing, or just your thing???

Nice flip-flopping. One year saying “I’m a Catholic”, then the next that “God is a modal God”, then next denying the Trinity.

Do you believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth of all that is seen and unseen?
Do you believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father?
Do you believe that through Jesus Christ all things were made?
Do you believe that for us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven; by the power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered died, and was buried. On the third day He rose in fulfillment of the Scriptures; He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father?

Do you believe that He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end?

Do you believe in the Holy Spirit, One God, with the Father and the Son?

See, no answer. Moslems can’t get themselves to call Jesus Christ Lord, GOD and Saviour...
