A good example and precedent for Bishop Finn

News out yesterday is that one Bishop Daniel Walsh, of California, resigned his post after being embroiled in two Catholic Church sex abuse cases, according to the Vatican: Calif. bishop quits amid abuse cases. With any luck, hopefully Bishop Finn will take this as an example of what he ought to do for this diocese---and himself, for that matter.

Bishop Finn should go to JAIL for reckless child endangerment.

Imagine if this happened at a Chucky Cheese Restaurant. An employee had child porn pictures that he took of children inside Chucky Cheese. Management knew about it, but hid the pictures and allowed the employee further access to small children.

Customers would boycott Chucky Cheese and have every manager thrown in jail, all the way up to the CEO.

We can't expect the Catholic church to rise to the standards of Chucky Cheese, but they should at least have to follow the basic laws of humanity and the laws of the land.

Isn't that true, Pat? It seems so clear and obvious--unless you're speaking of the Catholic Church, eh? It's just this recurring tragedy.
