    Why did a priest take a boy on a beach vacation to begin with?

    The Roman Catholic Diocese of Charleston did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. Its website encourages anyone abused by church personnel to contact the diocesan victim assistance coordinator for resources and counseling referrals.

    I encourage victims to contact law enforcement. They do not (always) have an incentive to try and sweep it under the rug.

      People who still have blind faith in organized religion should not be expected to make rational decisions.

    Just yikes.

    Also when will the conservatives storm into churches on Sunday trying to protect the children by stopping readings from a book filled with filth that clearly is being promoted by child molesters?

    Thank goodness they caught the one bad priest and this will never happen again!

    You know. I don’t need to tag it. If you can’t tell, I can’t help you.
