Pedophile priests still treated lightly

The "priest" who was convicted of countless molestations of boys in his church is not only sickening but the fact the Catholic Church has not had him defrocked is bad enough and now, he is getting his pension.

It's the same old story: His molestations are known, and he just keeps getting countless transfers. There is no penalty if you hide behind religion.

It's easy to conclude that if you want to molest little boys with no fear of reprisal, just become a priest. The church has enough money to bail out their guilt. Just say you're sorry, or in this case, just tell the court you're "confused about your sexuality" because, after all, it really is all about you and not the victims.

This monster needs to face at least solitary confinement in prison with no prayer of parole. The death penalty is not off the table. He has destroyed how many lives? He now suddenly thinks he's no longer a threat? How stupid does he think we are?

The Catholic Church is showing its bias. What makes this guy so different from a non-priest child molester?

As long as the money is there, child molesting priests will continue to get light or no jail time. How many of these people does it take to finally bankrupt the Catholic Church into justice?
