Really... One of these bishops needs to get some actual punishment from the Church, not just a slap on the wrist.
Well, the most the Church can do to punish a Priest or a Bishop is to remove him from office and remove his facilities. They are no longer clergy in the Church, and have to find some other way to earn a living.
But in a case like this, it’s up to the state and the law to punish them further, if that is indicated.
The whole business is further complicated because most bishops are NOT guilty of anything, but are being attacked by lawyers looking for money or by liberal media anxious to bash the Church. That’s why I indicated that this case may be exceptional, and the bishop may indeed by guilty as charged by the press.
But they've shown they won't do that and so the secular authorities must step in. If this story is true, this bishop belongs in jail for reckless child endangerment and whatever else they can throw at him. Start throwing the bishops in jail and we won't be hearing about priests who've fondled 14 year old boys still in active ministry.
