re: #161 nonic

There are places in the world where Christianity in general as well as the Catholic churches and missions are already under attack by local civil authority. Giving those locals official Church permission to “investigate” priests — and it would certainly spread to teachers, doctors, even lay people as well —- would be just handing the lambs over to the wolves for slaughter.

Perhaps. But America is not one of those places, and this is precisely what Mahoney ought to be doing himself.
