What always jumps out at me when I read an account like this is that the most damning crime isn't the molestation. I doubt there is a much greater percentage of child predators in the priesthood than there are in the population in general. The greater crime is the Church's denial and cover-up. The Church allows the predator to continue hurting children by covering up their crimes. The author had it right -- the Church cares more for their image than they do for the children.

John 3:10 "This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God;..."

I take this to mean that pedaphile priests and those that hide their crimes are children of the devil.

Gandhi nailed it when he said, "I like your Christ, but not your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
