Room and Board for Pedophiles

I understand that their theology demands that they "love the sinner", but it's this going a bit far? These priestly abusers have not only committed felony offenses, they've violated a sacred trust placed in them by the parents of their victims.

Of course, I'm sure their God has forgiven them for fondling and raping the little children put into their charge, so who's the Pope to do any different?

What a crock! Hopefully, this'll turn into the PR disaster that the church so richly deserves.

A report on child sexual abuse that the Vatican released today found fault with and challenged American bishops' zero tolerance policy of seeking to remove from ministry any Roman Catholic priest who has abused a child.
