Nota a Roma: no olvidaremos...

Así tituló ayer John Aravosis su post en AmericaBlog sobre la destitución por la Iglesia Católica de dos sacerdotes, después de 40 años de abusar sexualmente de niños...

"In 1984, Eugene O'Sullivan was sentenced to probation after he admitted sodomizing a 13-year-old altar boy. A condition of his sentence was that he not be allowed to work with children.

But O'Sullivan was later assigned to four New Jersey parishes. He was recalled to Boston in 1992 after church officials learned of another allegation against him dating to his time in Massachusetts.

Documents from O'Sullivan's personnel file, made public in 2002, show that the archdiocese was alerted as early as the 1960s to allegations against him.

In a 2003 deposition he gave in lawsuits filed against the archdiocese, Cardinal Bernard Law defended his decision to allow O'Sullivan to transfer, saying he wanted to give O'Sullivan a chance at "redemption."

Law resigned as archbishop of Boston but remains a cardinal."

Dice Aravosis que uno no le ofrece redención a un alcoholico ofreciéndole trabajo en un bar. Dios podrá perdonar a éstos hombres, pero es obligación de nosotros proteger a los niños. Law quisó esconder este tremendo abuso debajo del tapete y en su caso pensó que no era para tanto...

Recado a Roma: no olvidaremos.
