About those 400 defrocked pedophile priests: Where are they now?

45. Are you aware of the the tactics the Church used to discourage survivors from prosecuting?

Some were leaned on pretty hard to not say anything. Others were pressured into settlements in exchange for not prosecuting. The Church in effect abused survivors and their families AGAIN by using its power to get its way. The Corporate Roman Catholic Church can be just as ruthless and heartless as any other business. Instead of showing sympathy and willingness to cooperate, all the Church cared about was itself and its image.

The reason I know this is, I knew a lot of survivors and their situations through my involvement with Voice of the Faithful, and by extension, SNAP.

At least Francis is finally doing something about getting these sick fucks out of the priesthood. Thing is, to laicize a priest can take years, and in the interim, they still draw a paycheck. I don't know if the Pope can expedite this process, but once it's proven beyond any reasonable doubt that a priest is an abuser, he needs to be GONE, in jail, and registered as a sexual predator for the REST OF HIS LIFE.
