Pedophile Priest Hits Close To Home

Indeed.

And making it a sacrament would be cheaper. Passing out some afterlife bling would take care of everything.

The accuser in my OP was raped over 35 years ago and the statute of limitations for criminal charges has, sadly, expired.

I've said it before (in a thread where the blowback caused a number of good posters to quit these fora) but having a statute of limitations in cases like rape is totally fucked up.

I used to live near Buffalo, NY and, while looking through The Buffalo News today, found out that one of my family's parish priests was raping young boys for many years. He worked at St. Mary of the Angels Church in 1982-1983 and another nearby parish for a few years after that.
They show his photo in the article and I remember this prick.

I went to catholic schools ages 4-17, including St. Mary's parish school while this rapist was there.
Sometimes the priests would come over from their rectory to visit classrooms. Much deference was paid to a parish priest who was walking through the halls. Everyone would get quiet and treat him like a VIP.
We were giving deference to a fucking child rapist!

I don't know the ultimate disposition of this rapist's case because I can't bear to read the news stories. It makes me sick.

My 4 younger brothers also went to this school and church. One of my brothers was an altar boy. Now I need to start some awkward conversations.

Fuck you, catholic church! I hope you're all sued into oblivion!

I know how you feel. I grew up in the Boston area where John Geoghan was busy raping boys. He was convicted of molesting a boy in the public swimming pool myself, brothers, and many cousins spent our summers frolicking in. He was accused of raping a boy in the housing project where 4 of my cousins grew up.

Sexual arrest.
A priest's life is a wrong one. You don't get to live like a neutered when you are born whole.

But the respect payed to the child rapist is normal, because lots of people are mentally gone. Shiny things attract them, titles and shiny robes are enough to clean a child rapist's crime into something pure.

Lots of people are sheep.
And they're proud by it. Actually they call you "weird" if you act differently.

Relying on civil judgments to reign in the church after the statutes of limitations has run out is clearly not working.

Choices would be for the church to make pedophilia abuse an actual sacrament or for governments to extend the statute of limitations.

Which choice protects children ?

...If people won't speak up when they get screwed don't expect any sympathy from me decades after the incident.  There would have to be some official record to substantiate the complaint without me laughing about it...

This alone makes you one contemptible piece of shit. Unless you're just trolling, in that case you're a contemptible piece of shit.
