I actually agree with him. Sorry, but the church utterly failed to do anything except protect its own during the whole pedo debacle. Anyone who knew of allegations within the church who took ANY internal actions without reporting the perp to the police for his criminal actions is culpable, IMHO.

If my wife saw a kid with a urologic injury she thought might be from abuse, she is required by law to report it. Guys liek that priest KNEW there were credible allegations. Every single allegation without a call from anyone who knew to the cops is a crime, IMO.

Priests sent pedos to a vacation camp here in NM instead, then reassigned them to new areas so they could continue their "work" of abusing kids. A gay friend of ours in college used to go up to the Jemez mtns where that "monastery" is and pick up priests from time to time, he said. (the Brothers of the Paraclete (sp?)) is walking distance from a small town which has hot springs as it's claim to fame. Many little spa-guesthouse places with private hot-spring baths just a few hundred yards from where the pedos were sent to "reflect."

I have zero tolerance for that. Gotta like the guy for calling it like he sees it (and since he's a Catholic himself, no one can claim any kind of bias).
