Well the Times certainly looks like it's ready to convict.
Is must be hard to breathe with one’s head in the sand.
The way the church operates it wouldn’t be surprising if the next conclave of cardinals appoints Jerry Sandusky as Pope.
The statute of limitations is meaningless if the Church is involved? Is that what the judge is saying? And this was a “mid-level” official who was not really responsible for what went on?
The jury says that the judge’s arguments are difficult to understand. Hmmm.
No the FACTS convict. Like the fact that one of the reassigned priests plead GUILTY to raping a 10 year old altar boy...

Lynn, whose job included proposing priests’ assignments, is accused of endangering children by allegedly recommending that two priests be allowed to live or work in parishes despite signs they might abuse children.
His codefendant, the Rev. James J. Brennan, has denied charges he tried to rape a 14-year-old boy in 1996. The second accused priest, Edward Avery, pleaded guilty before the trial to charges that he sexually assaulted a 10-year-old altar boy in 1999.
Five years earlier, Lynn had included Avery on a list of former and active archdiocesan priests identified as guilty of sexual misconduct. Lynn knew Avery had been accused of molesting a teen in the 1970s.
