Monsignor William Lynn sentenced to jail term for harboring child sex abuse priests

catholicabusesurvivorsni-------witholding evidence of child rape, child endangerment, is a crime, when will cardinal sean brady in ireland face a court over the same crime.

He is not a scapegoat. PA is finaly gonna get tough on such issues. Maybe other states will follow. Children are vunerable.

Catholic..........Protestant.....Bad is Dad.

This guy wasn't even a pastor. He was a clerical boy in the office doing the Cardinals bidding. He broke the law and deserves to go to jail BUT he is not some high up cleric as the media is trying to make him out to be.

How about checking out the "other side" and condemn them as well. I mean all the Protestant clergy, youth leaders, etc. The percentage of Catholic clergy molesting/abusing younsters and set on trial is 1.7% as opposed to 10% of Protestant clergy. We never hear any of that.... Catholic bashing. It's staggering the percentages of abuse by Prod clergy with women, 41.8% of women clergy reported unwanted sexual behavior, 38% of clergy acknowledged inappropriate behavior and on and on. Yes, this is wrong/appalling but sock it to all clergy, not just the Catholics. Sick of it!!!

Hopefully, this will be a lesson to others. Now let's see if he will be defrocked; no reason he shouldn't be.

About damn time.
