Cardinal is ordered to court in pedophile sex abuse trial

I wonder if this will open the door to othes around the world. There will be a few ducking for cover if it does and not before time.

If Cardinal Bevilacqua testifies, he will just lie. The Catholic church raped children, moved known pedophiles around, and lied about it. He will just lie again. What a horrible church. They have disgraced a great religion.

You know we've been watching the Warren Jeffs trial and were APPALED BY WHAT "THEY DO". NOTHING, AS COMPARED TO WHAT THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS BEEN DOING SINCE THE MIDDLE OF THE FIRST CENTURY. THE DEVIL WANTS TO GET CHRISTIANS..ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. WE LET HIM DO IT BY BEING UNAWARE OF OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHTS TO QUESTION EVERYTHING THAT TAKES OUR FREE WILL AWAY. GOD DOESN'T EVEN DO THAT!

Be on day and night watch for Belivacqua, as they will say he died before he could testify. Killing is nothing in the RCC. Babies they don't want born are aborted. Nuns, children etc., killed. Anyone testifying against the RCC will "get bumped off". Really!! Watch him carefully.

FIRST grand jury investigation. The state is just as much to blame for not prosecuting.

Ah, more New Yorkers thinking they have a pulse on Philly. If you had been paying attention, you'd ask yourself why Bevilacqua wasn't indicted in the FIRST

Pittsburghkid:It's what Orwell called 'doublethink' the ability to hold to diametrically opposed views at the same time...!

we equally need that strauss kahn's rabbi present. They be desperate to kill the orginazation of their reject son.

Well said Aengus.

Well said Portia777.

The Catholic Church has given itself a mortal wound and allowed it to fester and go untreated. The stench of death is upon it.

More excuses. These boys in dresses claim to be answerable to "god"?? well, this is a great scam, because there is no sign of their god to say who he is. Anyone else claiming this kind of thing re unseen gods and voices are all safely locked away in mental homes. But you got to hand it to them, the brainwashing has worked for thousands of years.

Circle the wagons! Protect the Church at all cost - including throwing victims of pedophile priests to the wolves! Point in fact - pedophiles CANNOT be "cured" or treated successfully by any means known...not by long-term imprisonment, not by psychotherapy, not by electroconvulsive therapy, not by aversion therapy, and not by either chemical or physical castration - all of that is accepted fact by the psychological and psychiatric communities. The only ways to stop a pedophile are lifetime imprisonment or death. Part of the problem with the Catholic Church is that they failed and continue to fail to realize that pedophiles are careful planners who get themselves into positions giving them access to and responsibility for young children...young children whose reports of abuse are less likely to be believed because of the authority and respect the pedophile obtains by his position. These are not "good priests who developed emotional problems," they are scheming lifetime pedophiles and deserve every punishment the LAW (not the Church) allows.

Cardinal Bevilacqua is a key witness, but his lawyers have claimed that at 88 he is suffering from dementia and diminished memory." Between the excuses of selective memory and false memory syndrome, these boys in dresses try anything to get away with their crimes against children. The do not even have the ba**s to take responsibility at this late stage.
