I went to a VERY small catholic school (St Paschal's in Spokane, WA) in which the priest at the time, Fr. O'Malley was outed for molesting boys in my class.
The Catholic church, Bishop, fellow priest & Vatican hid previous allegations that went back 30-40 years! Catholic Church paid 1 boy $50K for molestation. Then in 1989, the Vatican sent O'Malley back to Ireland w/o prosecution where he died in 2007! IMHO O'Malley, Holmes & ALL other Sick POS Pedo Priests have a VERY special place in Hell!!
All of the allegations were dropped, which left hundreds of victims with empty injustice. I know some of these people. It is a well known fact in this area; all of New England; that pedophilia within the Catholic church, ( and so many other religious organizations), has been industrialized. And largely covered up, with victims being paid off, and priests being relocated, and "sentenced" to "a lifetime of prayer"---Pope Bergoglio.
In Ireland, a politician passed a sweetheart deal on his last day of office (bypassing Attorney General) that capped Church compensation of victims at €128 million, with the other €1.3 billion (!) to be footed by taxpayers, many of whom were victims of this organisation themselves - it still stands, and the Church still runs over 90% of our schools and many of our hospitals http://www.rte.ie/news/2011/0107/296200-woodsm/

Anyway, back to my point for this post is here's a link to Database of Publicly Accused Priests in the US (from BishopAccountability.org) http://bishop-accountability.org/priestdb/PriestDBbylastName-A.html
This DB doesn't contain Rt. Rev. Dom Caedmon Holmes name, so my guess is that they are trying to hide it.
