No surprise the Catholic Church and the INSURANCE Lobby has been fighting tooth and nail.....
EXCERPT:
An investigative grand jury report into clergy abuse in six of the state’s eight Catholic dioceses may be days away from being made public. Rumored to be 884 pages long, it is expected to make stomachs turn, the product of more than two years’ worth of top-secret subpoenas and testimony led by a team in the Attorney General’s Office.
“What you’re going to hear is going to rock your faith,” Harkins said as a crowd of victims, including an aspiring Miss Pennsylvania and members of the Jehovah’s Witness faith, filled a marble staircase behind him. “I anticipate a number of church pews are going to be empty after this.”
The grand jury judge, Norman A. Krumenacker III, in a ruling last week to stop unnamed individuals from blocking the report’s release, hinted that what’s to come is extensive, including findings into allegations of “endangering the welfare of children, obstruction of justice by individuals associated with the Roman Catholic Church, local public officials, and community leaders.”

"In the mid-1980s, foreign observers close to newly elected Pope John Paul II noted a widesprj!ad effort to infiltrate homosexuals into U.S. seminaries (via the same "don't ask, don't tell" policy recently instituted for the U.S. armed services). This operation set up the discrediting of the church and the potential for financial warfare penalties from the inside, while on the outside, a climat¢ of scandal was built around all clergy, Catholic as well as other denominations."

I never thought much of Bernardine but did not know of the molestation charges. What a horrid pervert. He is surely guilty of the same acts of horror of SRA that were perpetrated upon Stcharles. I hope he is Burnt to a Crisp. Thank you for the article.
