Wow! That explains why all my Bibles disappeared suddenly after JPII died ... then they (magickally?) reappeared a few weeks later ... subtly different. I've been trying to figure that one out for a couple of years, now.
Papers: Jesuits Were Warned about Abusive Priest
By Barbara Bradley Hagerty

Father Donald McGuire sexually abused two teenaged boys in the 1960s. That much is public record: He was convicted in a criminal trial last year.
As recently as nine weeks ago, Jesuit leaders insisted that they had no knowledge of any other abuse by the renowned priest. But documents show that over the past 38 years, Jesuit leaders were alerted many times about McGuire’s behavior — even as criminal and civil cases were under way. That raises the question: What happened to those records?
Father Donald McGuire, shown here with nuns from Mother Theresa’s order, the Missionaries of Charity, was convicted in 2006 of sexually abusing two boys in the 1960s.

Documents in the Case
Lawyers for several of Father McGuire’s alleged victims have obtained documents that show the Jesuits were repeatedly alerted to his alleged sexual abuse, beginning in 1969. Read some of those documents:

Are you trying to make protestantism look ridiculous?
ROTFLMAO!!
Where do I get my dagger??
I just read the sewage at our buddy, BL’s link:
“In confirmation of which I hereby dedicate my life, soul, and all corporal powers, and with the dagger which I now receive...”
Hey!! I'm a Fourth Degree Knight of Columbus, darn it!! I'm a Grand Knight and a Past Grand Knight, a past officer of my Assembly!! And I didn't get any stinkin’ dagger??
Where's my dagger??
One must question the good faith, or failing that, the intelligence, of folks who would believe such tripe.

not a single Catholic on this forum is going to dispute the fact of the abuse or the cover-up. not a single Catholic on this forum worships the Catholic CHURCH, we follow the Catholic FAITH. so rail on about the Church, the abuse, the coverup, you get no arguments there. does that somehow free you up to bash the Catholic faith of your fellow freepers? i don’t think so. Guess God will be the judge of whether that is godly behavior or not.
connect up the dots for me, please, i don’t follow you.
I’ve passed your request along to the Religion Mod, who should be checking back in before long.
Hey it’s better than Obama’s faith-hating the white man and being totally angry!
The dagger goes with the double secret Fifth Degree. Didn't you get the memo?

Regarding the authors of the websites ... charity demands that I not assume that they are committing the sin of slander. So, they're either morons or lunatics. As to the folks who post on this site ... We're not allowed to "read minds".
So I won't.
Thanks. I appreciate all y’all doing what must seem a totally thankless job.
The Oath of the Knights of Columbus - or Malta - or Jesuit Oath is hate mongering material and not allowed at all on Free Republic. Nor are references to sites which host hate mongering material allowed here.
Well, that’s a refreshing change, because I’ve seen some priest abuse apologetists, claiming the scandal has been way overblown.
Yes, as you say, we shall let Christ be the judge.
Last chance was being sarcastic, to cut the legs off of the fundies that rant about this stuff
“The dagger goes with the double secret Fifth Degree. Didn't you get the memo?”
Obviously not. * chuckle *

The auto-flagellating albino monk assassins will be along shortly in their silent invisible black helicopters to deliver it.
Do not post from websites that link to hate mongering material - including the above, Jack Chick, Jesus-is-Lord.com, KKK, Aryan Nations, National Alliance, Christian Identity, anti-Semitic websites et al. That includes Biblebelievers.org.
