He's not, in relation to this, but go up the chain a little if you do: direct ties to specific catholic organizations, which means if you go out a few degrees on the kevin bacon line, you find all sorts of interesting people.
Someone being friends with a pedo doesn't mean they were fully aware, so they should only be treated with slightly more suspicion than normal. Someone being friends with a friend of a pedo is basically nothing in terms of evidence to me.
No, you missed the point. Someone who is a pedo likely has pedo friends. That doesn't mean one particular friend is likely to be a pedo based on just that relationship.
And when it comes to two degrees of seperation it's even likely that you and I were friends with someone who was friends with a pedo at some point. I wouldn't assign too much weight to loose social networks without at least one other clue.

So, people involved in pedo rings don't associate with other pedophiles professionally. Got it.
