Pretty sure that is who they are after with this report. And Zubik. Maybe especially Zubik.

“Bishop Zubik, at the Tueday press conference, brushed off a question about whether he had any thoughts of resigning in the wake of the grand jury report.

“I think that when you take a look at what I'm named for — I'm not named for any activity that would be a break of the trust that the pope places in me, and we are certainly doing a number of good things in the diocese that I would want to see continue.”

You would think that even Archbishop Sean O'Malley from Boston, head of the Church's Protection of Minors program, would have responded to this report.

Is their PR office run by a bunch of interns?

“In a bizarre, insensitive, and outrageous post, Bill Donohue, president of the very conservative Catholic League, attacked the recent grand jury report documenting the rape and sexual abuse of over a 1,000 children by hundreds of Catholic priests in Pennsylvania.

Donohue called the report released by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court an “obscene lie” while defending the Catholic Church and their deplorable record of covering up and enabling the rape and sexual abuse of children by predatory priests.”

It's like inviting the violent pedophile to your home, locking them up in a room with your kids, throwing away the key and getting yourself a pair of earplugs.

Not all parochial schools are bad and there is now plenty of abuse in MCPS and some of the local privates.

But in MCPS and some local privates, as you say, OP, it is not a coordinated ring of deception to move teachers around or stall with the police until the statutes of limitation run out.

Yes, it has been a ring. Some of the teachers were moved around or it was hidden.

Moving teachers happened in PGCPS too.

I would really love to see this crooked St. Luke's Institute in Adelphi, MD brought to justice for signing off on the suitability of many predator priests to return to ministry:

Here is an excerpt from the PA grand jury report about these CHURCH-run psychiatric centers:

“(The dioceses) for an appearance of integrity, send priests for ‘evaluation’ at church-run psychiatric treatment centers,” the grand jury report states. “They allow these experts to ‘diagnose’ whether the priest was a pedophile, based largely on the priest’s 'self-reports' and regardless of whether the priest had actually engaged in sexual contact with a child.”

The unconscionable behavior of these priests has cost the church $3 billion.

It’s a gay problem. Victims are mostly pubescent boys.

Must remove homosexuals from clergy.

That is not true, most victims are not boys. Victims are chosen by confidence so Boy Scouts are most likely to abuse boys. Alter boys used to be only boys.

Pedophiles do not prefer a gender.

Do you have a credible citation for “pedophiles” do not prefer a gender?!?

These guys are gay, and they like to target boys in early puberty.

Girls have been abused by priests as well. In fact, some of the stories coming out of the PA case is of girls being abused. Pedophilia has nothing to do with homosexuality.
