ARTICLE: Delaware Diocese Files for Bankruptcy in Wake of Abuse Suits, By IAN URBINA, New York Times, October 19, 2009

Frankly, a whole lot of priests and bishops and cardinals should have gone to jail for criminal conspiracy re: the priest sex-abuse scandals.

That would have been a lot more just than depriving parishioners of their churches.

If Christ tosses the money-changers from the temple, imagine what he does to the pedophiles.

Cardinal Law, our (then) man in Boston (we lived in RI when it broke finally), escaped his perp walk only to be rewarded--and rescued in Roman Polanski-like fashion--by the Pope with a cozy spot in the Vatican. It was easily the most shameful thing John Paul ever did. No sainthood for those who participate in the covering-up of crimes against children.

But Dante's got a circle for them all.
