Guess who was one of the ranking Bishops in charge of instituting and promoting Sex Ed in American Catholic schools? Bishop McHugh. Lackey for Bernadin. V's wife.

I am really distressed that this item has been moved to the Religion forum. It is news involving the use of the US legal system. It belongs in the News forum

Have you gotten some feedback yet on what criteria they are using or are we to just keep a log of what moves (and what doesn't) and figure it out ourselves?
I have to admit, the moving of the AP wire story on Mahoney's hospitalization had me roaring.

Everything just keeps cascading out of the closet.... How much more -- and how far back does it go? I hope someone (fairminded, thorough and -- hopefully -- orthodox) is working on a definitive work.
I did a google search on Guilfoyle: he became bishop of Camden in 1968. Before that, from 1964 he was an auxiliary bishop in New York (where he was born). Is that during the time Spellman was in charge? I ask because that Shanley (the NAMBLA priest here in Boston) left a letter saying something about being molested in the seminary by the "predecessor to one of the cardinals" now accusing him. Most have taken this to refer to Medeiros or O'Connor, but someone on FR notes that, given his likely years in the seminary, he must mean Spellman or Cushing. I've never heard (and, more to the point, even Howie Carr never heard) any hint that Cushing was homosexual.
It just came over Fox that Shanley has been arrested in San Diego. I'll be back.

I know one presumes innocence until proven guilty, but this guy is a vile, filthy, guilty piece of human garbage (God forgive me). If there is any doubt, all you have to do is read some of the documents that the Boston Globe put on their website. They document what Shanley was advocating, some of what he wrote and some letters that were written to him. Not for the fainthearted.

Sad story in my opinion.
To: Askel5
My guess is that they're trying to avoid as many problems with certain people coming into Catholic-related threads and "relieving themseves" all over.
That doesn't mean I agree with their methodology...just my guess at their motivation. They probably noticed that the sheer volume is less if it is in the religion forum. So, if they see the word "Catholic" or "priest," into the ghetto it goes.

I don't really care on way or the other. Fact remains that however FR wishes to slant the "News" or dump in the Ghetto, Catholics will hold down the fort in either forum. We're everywhere, you know. =)
Because we've the benefit of understanding all too well how human are the Moderators, we can be a voice of reason as eventually (and I suspect it will happen) others end up asking the same questions and getting no answers.
(I have to admit I find it HYSTERICAL that -- for all the comparisons between this and LF of late -- it's the Libertarians who feel no need to segregate topics thus. I'm certainly not one to complain about their not practicing what they preach where the "keeping private" of all things religious is concerned. Turns out that in practice they're more like conservatives than conservatives themselves ... if this board's any indication. Quite a riot, if you ask me.)
Cheers.

No, let me clarify since the issue itself is not a positive issue in the usual sense. When a news article that has an accurate, truthful presentation of the facts (as opposed to an inaccurate, agenda-driven article) regarding this issue is posted in the news forum, before long it is moved to the religion forum. Those of us who have been trying to determine the policy (since it has not been stated, clearly or otherwise, by FR management) for which articles stay in the news forum and which don't have had great difficulty doing so.

No wonder the statue of Padre Pio in Italy is weeping blood.
