re: #12 Charles
The Pope needs to speak up about this. It’s highly disturbing that he hasn’t already, and his silence speaks volumes.
I don’t recall the Pope of the time (JPII) saying anything about the coverup committed by Mahoney here in LA, either. Mahoney didn’t even get a token punishment.
I’m having problems with this line, though: The report, however, did not identify any abusers by name because of a right-to-privacy lawsuit by the Christian Brothers order.
There needs to be a serious, in-depth prosecution of everyone involved. IMNSHO, this is a job for the Spanish Inquisition. A couple of autos de f, with threats of more, would stop this in a New York minute.
