Catholic priest visited girl's family home after she made abuse allegation

http://www.thejournal.ie/child-sex-abuse-catholic-church-2750274-May2016/

A CATHOLIC PRIEST who abused more than 100 children continued to have access to young people for two years after the first allegation against him came to light.

The Salvatorian Order has come under fire for allowing the abusive priest to live ”without intervention or restrictions” between 2002 and 2004, despite it being known he had abused a female relative as a child.

The priest later admitted to abusing more than 100 children and was convicted in 2007 of sexually abusing several girls over a 25-year period.

...

He was moved to Rome, but nobody was informed of the real reason and so he was not placed under any supervision, the report says.

There are some desperate and despicable individuals who defend their church and its pedophile-enablers while attacking those who point out the truth.

I suspect this post will be alerted upon too. Oh well, I'll take my chances. At least I'm not trying to cover up the sexual abuse of children.
