"Uncle Ted" apparently had a thing for seminarians. He'd invite 3 to his 3 BR beach house. The unlucky fella got to sleep in the same bed as Ted.

He'd also had them sit on his lap and run his hands all over their bodies and privates.

Like I said - he's pond scum.

Our current Cardinal Archbishop "Lavender Don" Wuerl was about to get slammed in the PA grand jury report on priestly sex abuse and the cover up, but the PA supreme court put the kibosh on the release.

and all it took it seems was cardinal O’Connor to finally go to heII

It's hard to see how anyone can take the Catholic Church as a moral authority about anything after the exposure of their shameful behavior. Not just that priests were perverts who buggered little boys -- Rabelais was making jokes about that 600 years ago; that's always been an open secret. But that the institutions themselves condones and hid this and just didn't care.

Theodore Cardinal McCarrick, Archbishop Emeritus of Washington, has been removed from priestly ministry by the Vatican on the basis of a credible claim of sexual abuse of a minor 50 years ago while a priest of the Archdiocese of NY.

He says he doesn't remember

Based on statements from the Archdiocese of Newark and the Diocese of Metuchen, NJ ++McCarrick was also involved in adult sexual relationships while he was bishop of those dioceses, two of which resulted in financial settlements.

Scum.

Re: DC Sexual Assault Thread: We needed one...

I'm absolutely in favor of an even-handed approach to this, as well as calling out the holier-than-thou hypocrites, but let's not pretend that the overwhelming number of offenders aren't male.

I agree.

So far, the house thing is not tied to the assault case. (yeah, I have my doubts, too)

And I mentioned that the pol's behavior points to his guilt. Just pondering the chance if he was actually innocent? Nothing was proven. Remember, in this country, innocent until proven not guilty.

That is a misnomer. Innocent until proven guilty is a legal standard only. I can think someone is guilty from the word jump. There is a bunch of people using that as a reason Reggie Lynch should not be punished yet over his crap. Since the U is not a court of law their standard is much lower than the legal standard so it doesnt fly.

Idaho isn’t exactly a liberal bastion known for its vast network of think tanks and startups either.

Now I need a new keyboard. Special K is gluey. Thanks.

Re: DC Sexual Assault Thread: We needed one...

If someone accuses me of touching someone’s kid, the first thing I do is contemplate my defense. Not off myself. I’m going to fight that thing with everything I have if I’m innocent. The average person, even if they were guilty would fight it.

Your take is bad and you should feel bad.

And given the court of public opinion nowadays.....Franken was basically booted out of office, nothing really proven. I think that was wrong. But there was no way he was going to recover what rep he had, due to public opinion. He took it well, didn't resort to drastic measures. This other guy did. People turn weird when up against the wall.
