The Catholic Church needs to stop futzing around with internal procedures and establish an explicit and enforced policy of calling the cops on molesting priests and their enablers <i>every time</i>. Reporting a felony to the police is not optional. Until they do that, they're still engaged in a cover-up. They're basically the Duggars on a bigger scale.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.com
