Another proof to the statement: bringing a child to a church in child abuse.

They're still not nixing the problem. They have to SCREEN those priests thoroughly. All this is going to do is lead to multiple adult staff abusing the students.

I would much rather see them get married or get another vocation. I would even tolerate a gay partner as long as you know their is some form of outlet.

Me too. However, it is still an improvement in policy.

Like closing the gate once the cow got out.

I think it is more like building a fence to hold the cows because not having them fenced hasn't worked out so well.

Better late than never. I guess this is a start to something that will spread in the catholic church.

We can only hope it spreads. Cardinals adn bishops seem to have a lot of local autonomy.

I think this is a good first step, but I think knowing the track record of the Catholic Church, parents really need to learn never to let their children near pastors, ministers or any religious leader.

both of you are right, they, the catholic faith is under scrutinization

@stepping I was involved in the Spotlight investigation. There were pedophile priests at Campion Center in weston where I worked cleaning dishes. The abuse was rampant. All the young men in the kitchen had been molested in some fashion.
