Quote:Bishop picked by pope to investigate sexual abuse faces accusations
The bishop tapped by the pope to investigate sexual abuse in the church's Buffalo, N.Y., diocese is being accused of abuse himself, The Associated Press reported Wednesday.
Michael Garabedian, the attorney for the alleged victim, told the church's Newark, N.J., archdiocese that he was planning to file a lawsuit for his client who says he was abused by Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio in the 1970s. The lawyer plans to file the suit next month, he told the AP.
His 56-year-old client, Mark Matzek, said he was repeatedly abused by DiMarzio and the late Rev. Albert Mark, while serving as an altar boy at St. Nicholas Church and attending St. Nicholas School.

You got to wonder why Catholic church still uses kids for that altar business.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
