        It only took 8 years after he got caught molesting dozens of boys. Swift justice from the Catholic Church. What a joke

        Wow, is it because he went to confession and therefore has received his heavenly punishment? Because the rest of us non-clergy humans would have gone to prison for less. Clean house, Pope @PontifexFrases. You need more than defrocking. You need ACCOUNTABILITY for crimes committed

        right. this one, the next one, twenty more, or no more. it doesn't matter. they need to be jailed. defrocked is a given--not even an "action" worth mentioning. because, seriously, after abusing children, he still gets to be called a "priest." by whom? No one.

        Considering the long history of the Catholic Church.. this is an action worth mentioning. If these men and women aren't defrocked, they still have allies. This leaves hem completely on their own with other priests allowed to speak about confessions. This is needed for conviction

        Considering the LONG hx of the Catholic Church CONDONING pedophile priests by simply relocating them to a new parish (to continue to harm), this action is DEflating. Plus, for the safety of others, pedophile confessions of crime should never be kept under confessional privilege.

        Here's an unpopular subject....how come no one is placing any blameon the families of pedofile priests who sent them into the clergy because of being a Pedo? How many of us have a family story of someone being put into the church for being gay or possible pedo?

        I have ZERO issue with gay priests. pedophiles have NO link with being gay. to put those two adjectives in the same sentence is to use homophobia and peddle fear of gays. that's not cool. pedophiles are pedophiles. they tend to be men. that's the only association worth noting.

        That's no what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the years and years of families putting their unwanteds or their unmanageables into the church, be they male or female. Why haven't we begun talking about how the church was the dumping ground for these people's families?

        In a way. It means he's lost everything at 88 yrs old including, food allowance, housing allowance, and social contacts with in the church. It also allows clergy to testify because there's no secrets with a heretic. Lifts the veil if you will.
