THE PERIL OF PROTECTING PERVERT PRIESTS

By Bob Walsh

 

 

Fr. George Neville Rucker blamed God for his molestation of children.

 

The L A Archdiocese just had their financial ass handed to them...again...over their protection of pervert priests.

They just had to agree to pay $880 million dollars on top of a previous $740 million.  That adds up to over $1.5 billion dollars.  That is real money.

More than 300 priests who worked in L A have been credibly accused of sexually abusing minors.  This settlement covers 1,353 victims.

The former Cardinal, Roger Mahoney, attracted strong criticism for his handling of the problem.  His handling including concealing molestation complaints from the cops.  

One of the more infamous perverts, Father George Neville Rucker, blamed God for his continuous molestation of children.  He stated, "Well, God called me into the priesthood and God doesn't make mistakes, so I assume all of this happened as part of God's plan for (the victim's) salvation."  It isn't known what response, if any, God made to this assertion.

Two dozen Catholic dioceses across the country, including San Francisco, Oakland and San Diego, have had to file bankruptcy to due molestation settlements.  

The Lord moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform.

Are any of the Priests doing time? No? Why not?

Actually I believe a few are. I know I had one in Ad. Seg. at DVI for quite some period of time. He is now hiding out in his native Ireland. The pope pulled his ticket.
