Apr. 25th, 2002 11:06 amI am so amazingly angry right now, and I'm not even Catholic. The priests came to a "decision" that they would only defrock "a priest 'who has become notorious and is guilty of the serial, predatory, sexual abuse of minors.'"
That is such an empty load of crap. So basically they can just go back to they way it was and cover up offenders passing them from parish to parish until they get widely known as molesters and only THEN punish them, meanwhile pat themselves on the back for "accomplishing something."
I am so livid at the moment I can barely type. Basically they're saying "one child doesn't really matter, we have to protect the priests and the Church," the same misguided, messed up, horribly irresponsible stance they've had for years.
