Cardinal Rigali blasted by head of Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s sexual-abuse review board

Long and informative article, from a careful academic who is also a member of the National Review Board.


Cathcon will be providing an analysis of the Vatican document on the sexual abuse scandal due today.   It will be interesting to see if it will go far enough to satisfy experts like this but more importantly those that have been victims and their families.   The dynamic between the experts who have been brought in by the Church and the ecclesiastical authorities is interesting- in Belgium of the two appointed, one after the other has been highly critical.

Cardinal Rigali said there were "no credibly accused priests" in the Philadelphia church in February of 2011, and a week later the Grand Jury report came out with horrifying facts about dozens of priests committing child rape. THEN Rigali removed the priests.

Isn't that child endangerment, and can't it be prosecuted?

Doesn't the Catholic congregation realize that this Catholic church doesn't practice Catholicism?

At what point do you storm in, remove him, bring him to jail, and show your kids that you know how to do the right thing?
