New Philly priest verdict should worry KC bishop, SNAP says
Statement by Barbara Dorris of St. Louis, Outreach Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAPdorris@gmail.com)
The historic guilty verdict today against a top Philadelphia Catholic official should embolden KC prosecutors and give KC Bishop Finn serious pause.
Finn faces essentially the same charge that his Philly colleague did – endangering kids by concealing crimes.
For the first time in history, a high ranking US Catholic official was held responsible - for knowingly, repeatedly and selfishly - putting kids in harm’s way. He was led from the courtroom in handcuffs.
We hope this landmark verdict will prompt current and former Catholic officials – in Philly, in KC and across the country – to “come clean” with what they know about child molesting clerics. We also hope it will give hope to victims and encourage them to call police and prosecutors, so that other child molesters and corrupt officials can be exposed, removed, charged, convicted and jailed, so kids will be safer.
(The lead defendant in the Philly case was Msgr. William Lynn.)
(SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the world’s oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. SNAP was founded in 1988 and has more than 12,000 members. Despite the word “priest” in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers and increasingly, victims who were assaulted in a wide range of institutional settings like summer camps, athletic programs, Boy Scouts, etc. Our website is SNAPnetwork.org)

Actually, this verdict has shown that the Bishops will let the shit roll downhill until it sticks to one of his underlings.
The guy that was under Finn should take heed to this verdict. He might take the fall on this one.
Anybody who vows to be celibate as an adult is got to viewed as crazy. Why not vow to never go poop? Hell, just get your junk cut off and be a unich.
Eunich, sorry.
It's eunuch.
How many criminals involved in this history?
None? (The church does many good works and priests are often falsely accused by people seeking money and revenge.)
One? (The church is just like everywhere else, and child abuse is still a mystery.. There might be a bad apple or two, but who knew? Gays!)
More than one? (You can read and understand the difference between right and wrong. You also understand correctly the do unto others concept.)
It's a trick question. The church is under attack by it's enemies. People don't understand how the church does God's work. Reporting laws do not apply to the Catholic Church. Priests must keep sacred secrets.
HEY ASSHOLE ... I mean 10:02 AM:
Are you shitting me? ... that's the best you've got for an excuse? ..."Priests must keep sacred secrets"?
Really?
Finn and the Philadelphia Bishop should both get MAXIMUM PRISONS SENTENCES.
Then you know what will happen? The Church hierarchy will suddenly "find it in their hearts" to give a shit about the innocent kids who are victims of pedophilia!
ASSHOLE.
