I agree that it is a very big story, because it connects the dots. I was unaware of the extent to which bishops have been hopscotching all over the country. When a bishop gets in trouble for covering up in his diocese--VOILA!--he is spirited away to the opposite coast and settles in amongst unwitting constituents; then, he begins the old coverup again. What con artists! What a shell game!!

I also learned that these bishops are not only aiders and abettors of sexual perverts, they are also thieves, stealing the peoples' money to shut up the victims; and they are liars. The whole damn bunch should be defrocked!

Add to that obstruction of justice in buying airline tickets for international criminals and sending them far away from the reach of the US justice system.

Please excuse me now--I am going to throw up!

Thanks for the ping.

Despite pledges of openness from Bishop Wilton Gregory of Belleville, Ill., who heads the national conference of bishops, some Catholic leaders have failed to provide a complete picture of clergy abuse in their dioceses.

Did you read the RCF link on the other thread naming Wilton Gregory as one of 'Bernadin's Boys'?
