Riiiiight. Cardinal Bevelaqua didn't disclose the information so the victims were left helpless and unable to persue a criminal complaint or civil action, because as we all know, without approval of The Cardinal, we're all unable to act on anything.

You're clearly not a lawyer.

I am a lawyer. So is Cardinal Bevilacqua. Did you know that? And I read the FULL Grand Jury report on abuse by priests in Philadelphia DA. Did you? Obviously not. It provided evidence about the cover up by the Philadelphia Catholic church leaders, especially Cardinal Bevilacqua. You know what EVIDENCE is right? I advise you read it. But you probably will not as your head is clearly in the sand as you won't face the truth about your church.

I know your type. They're in my family. They refuse to believe that their beloved priests would do such things as sodomize children and then cover it up and they simply look the other way. Very sad. As are you.

"Despite the common perception that clergy who sexually assault children are almost never punished, more than 70 priests and ministers have been sent to prison for child molestation since 1985. I think that's great and I am glad to hear it. But it's not enough. It's simply an outrage that thousands of other molesting priests escaped justice. But I guess they will suffer the fires of hell eh Viburnum? Or does the Lord give them a free pass because they pray a lot?

"God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready."
--Psalm 7:11,12
