Pennsylvannia Pedo Priest HORROR

[Angrboda]

@ khem - The catholic church has had a shortage of priests for decades. Logically, it makes sense that a shortage of priests contributes to cover-ups and transfers of abusive priests to new parishes - there just aren't enough to go around. If you allow priests to marry, then you have many more potential priests - 4 times as many according to one study.

Edward Ganster was among the priests named in the scalding document. Before leaving the church voluntarily in 1990, he worked at a number of parishes in Pennsylvania. According to the report, three young boys accused Ganster of sexual abuse. Although church officials knew of at least one allegation, Ganster was allowed to leave the priesthood on his own and relocated to Florida. With a reference from a church monsignor, he was hired on at the Magic Kingdom, the grand jury report states.

. . . . . .

Monsignor Muntone replied to Ganster: “I am quite sure that the Diocese will be able to give you a positive reference in regard to the work you did during your years of service here as a priest.”

Does a lack of priests also lead to job recommendations?
