Penn State and their sexual abuse intrusion cases are not alone is being peered at by a Grand Jury in Pennsylvania.
See excerpt from EWTN news Feb 15 of this year 2011 below detailing Grand Jury findings on abject neglect of credible complaints of sexual intrusion of children in Catholic Diocese…
one wonders what the h.e. double hockeysticks is in the water in Pennsylvania. But, then, it must be in the water in Ireland, Denver, all of Canada, Los Angeles, Boston, New York, New Orleans, Africa, backwater parishes, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, and and and…
see also Kathy Gill’s article on letting go several men at Penn State– allegedly involved in a cover up of known and well reported [to them] sexual intrusion of a minor, one in which the details of anal rape of a ten year old boy are– as Kathy noted and I agree– just horrifying.
Too many people across the spectrum this year appear to be potential nominees for the “Cardinal Bernard Law CYA rather than protect the children… “What the He– Were You Thinking??!!” Dis-award.”
Some of the hierarchy at Penn State seem o have fallen into the same slag that the Catholic hierarchy has too often set the example for… for far too many men in the Catholic hierarchy have purposely ignoring the cries of the innocent.
Words are hard to come by to convey response enough to that. I just keep thinking of “suffer the little children to come to Me” meant to protect not to predate. And many portray Jesus as saying that reprimand oh so gently.
I dont agree. I think Jesu Cristo retorted to those who tried to trivialize and denigrate the children. I think He snapped “suffer the little children to come to Me” with blood in His voice and flames shooting from His eyes. As warning, as DONT you dare make a move on these innocents.
Here is excert from EWTN News…
The Feb. 10 grand jury report charged that Msgr. William Lynn, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s secretary of clergy under previous Philadelphia archbishop Cardinal Anthony J. Bevilacqua, endangered the welfare of children by allowing “dangerous” priests to remain in positions with access to children, the New York Times reported.
Priests accused of rape were “well known” to Msgr. Lynn, but he allegedly “cloaked their conduct and put them in place to do it again,” the grand jury report said.
The monsignor was responsible for investigating abuse allegations from 1992 to 2004. He faces a maximum of 14 years in prison if convicted on all the charges.
Besides the allegations against Msgr. Lynn, the report charged Fr. Edward Avery, 68, and Fr. Charles Engelhardt, 64, with rape and indecent assault upon a 10-year-old boy in St. Jerome Parish in 1998 and 1999. A teacher, 48-year-old Bernard Shero, was accused of assaulting the same boy in 2000.
Fr. James Brennan, 47, was accused of assaulting a 14-year-old boy in 1996.
All three priests were under arrest on Feb. 10.
