I don't think he was ever convicted, just accused. Was there a trial? It doesn't say.

peace and love... maybe too much love... poor seminarists...
This might be progress. At leasr he was not given a golden parachute into the Vatican like disgraced ex-cardinal of Boston, Bernard Law. However, bishop Imish of Joliet (near Chicago near my boyhood home), retired unscathed at age 75 after decades of ignoring, winking and nodding at pervert priests. Also the diocese of Rockford refuses to release their records (another case of CYA) concerning convicted pedophile priest Campobello.
Hopefully it will be progress. Priest or not, they should be brought to justice just like any other criminal.
It's a step forward indeed...
However, it's up to the authorities to take unbiased action against any suspect of pedophilia, sexual abuse, or any other criminal charge regardless of whether they're members of the church or not.
Also authorities should take legal action against churches that "hide" priests or destroy evidence for the purpose of protecting their reputation.

What do you really know about the Catholic church? Are you Catholic? Or do you just get your knowledge from the media puts out?
It is ignorance to judge a group of over a billion people on the acts of a few. This kind of shit happens in every religion, and every group; like abusive parents for instance, yet the Catholic church is the only one to be showcased by the media.
They are sick, sick men, there is no doubting that, but we are not all like that. Some of us don't even like the Pope that much. People like me. Besides, who cares if you don't approve of our religion? (Our- mine and a billion of my brothers and sisters.) We humans, and we mess up. Just like everybody else.

Oh, let's just remember medieval laws... Everybody had to go through the ordeals of fire, water or whatever, BUT the priests. The explanation might be that the priests WERE the judges...
I might hurt a lot of people by saying, we've never gotten out of the medieval days my dears...

I can't speak for Sir GH, but I suspect that they might have been referring to the institution itself rather than the average people who happen to believe in the religion. Let's face it, you can't deny that some *dodgy* shit goes on in high up places in this church, and many others.

Here in Russia religious freaks (Orthodox Christians) co-operate with neo-nazis sometimes even... The Christian church (not religion) discredited itself already so many times...
