Thanks Yeru for your reply. I did not know this!!! I think it's sad if a parish gets lost because of the actions of the bishop. But you know what -- what about all the victims, all they suffered. I don't blame them for suing either. Today I think Cardinal Law is a bigger ass than I thought yesterday.

This is the thread I was referring to about the Anglican Church in Canada. Don't know how it was ever resolved, but I hope the victims got some justice. It happened in Ottawa.

Interesting situation.

Thanks Waiting! Very interesting and infuriating indeed.

Well, I'm thinking not too many courts would award the buildings of a Parish in a law suit filed against a diocese for the sex abuse scandal. Still, there needs to be a better system, one that protects the rights of the abused, seeks to prevent abuse, and protects the rights of those falsely accussed.

I don't have the answers. One answer, though, would be for Cardinal Law to step down. Actually, I would prefer to see Law go to jail. That charges under the RICO act haven't yet been filed against Law simply amazes me. On the other hand, organizations like SNAP aren't really doing the victims much good. Pretty soon they're call for heads to role based soley on accusations will be seen for the violation of due process it is. My personal opinion, SNAP is the province of a "wanna be but rejected seminarian" taking out his disappointment on the church that would allow him to be a priest.

Having said that, yes, the kids need protection. Lets get rid of Law, lets take the church completely out of the investigation process. Let law enforcement do it's job.

Blessings
