Statement by Joelle Casteix of Newport Beach CA, western regional director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (949 322 7434, jcasteix@gmail.com )
A controversial German bishop who was quickly ousted by Pope Francis because of his ostentatious spending now has a new church job.
This is why corruption in the church hierarchy continues. And it’s why the supposed “new policies” to deal with irresponsible bishops wont’ work. Because virtually no wrongdoer is ever harshly disciplined. And even when a prelate’s misdeeds are so egregious that the Vatican must act, the “discipline” is temporary.
(Cardinal Bernard Law and Cardinal Roger Mahony are two examples of church officials who acted so terribly that they were sidelined, but only temporarily.)
Monarchs rarely discipline other monarchs. So monarchs act irresponsibility….
