ENABLING the ABUSE

Check this out. The pedophile priests in Milwaukee, WI had help from their former boss.

And these people try to tell us how to live.

From the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinal:

Ex-archbishop admits he put abusive priests in jobs

Retired Archbishop Rembert Weakland admitted in a video deposition released Wednesday that he transferred priests with a history of sexual misconduct back into churches without alerting parishioners.

The former archbishop acknowledged that he did so because "no parish would have accepted a priest unless you could say that he has gone through the kind of psychological examination and that he's not a risk to the parish."

While similar allegations have been made for years as the scandal rocked the Catholic Church across the country, Weakland's statements give a rare glimpse of how a top church leader dealt with allegations of sexual misconduct by priests.


Another negative mark for religion!
