Being familiar with it, I also know that not all the evidence you mention pertains to all the parties indicted. Given that I'm an attorney, I also know that the old adage about grand juries and ham sandwiches is true, which is why I withhold judgment on such things and let the process work itself out.<br /><br />I'm unfamiliar with current examples of the pattern you mention. Not since the Boston revelations at least. Were there mobs of people rushing out to defend the priests in Philadelphia? I must have missed that. All the responses I saw wanted summary execution of all those involved. Which is all the more reason to be careful. A presumption of guilt in these cases seems to be becoming the norm.Throwbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14896446477292839087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670360131617205450.post-16372191839170119002011-06-24T08:37:38.936-05:002011-06-24T08:37:38.936-05:00There is another pattern.

Yet another priest is accused of raping more children, and the Catholic mob immediately comes to their defense, accusing the victim of lying, looking for money, and Catholic bashing. This ignorance might have been tolerable back int he 1980s when everyone thought it was impossible that a priest could have raped a child, but now we know that thousands of priests raped tens of thousands of children, and that bishops hid it from the congregation and moved them around to do it again.<br /><br />Every one of them should be followed up by a Grand Jury investigation to see what else they have been hiding.<br /><br />When they did an investigation in Philadelphia, the results were horrifying. You owe it to children and to victims to read just the first 6 pages to see how sexually perverted these priests were with children and to see how the bishops intentionally hid the truth. Tell others. <br /><br />Read just the first 6 pages of at http://bit.ly/jyfXniAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461865437824551724noreply@blogger.com
