Is anyone else interested in this?

Dsc, if their faces showed evil then no one would have permitted their children around them... I am thinking of two well known abusers here... John Geoghan and Paul Shanley... particularly Geoghan looked like he couldn't and wouldn't hurt a fly. Part of the evil is that these priests looked normal and kind.

I have said up front that I might be totally wrong about this, and the reason I want to do an experiment is to see if there is any support for the notion that I might not be wrong.

It just might be that the glamor of evil blinds people to the evil itself when in the presence of these priests. Or it could be the charisma of the priesthood. Perhaps it only shows in a photo taken in a moment of candor, or after public exposure.

When I saw photos of John Geoghan and Paul Shanley they looked evil to me, while Abp. Burke doesn't. I'd just like to see if there's anything to that, or if it's just imagination.

Other people have also made remarks about this, so who knows?
