To the Editor:
Congratulations to the Post Standard’s article on the flagitious crimes committed within the Catholic Church regarding the covering of the pedophile priests.
I was raised Catholic and still consider myself Catholic — once conservative, now very liberal.
The pedophiles have a psychiatric disorder and for them to be exposed could be a healing for the church and the whole world.
But the clergy, including the Pope, most definitely knew what was going on, maybe for centuries. They are accomplices to the greatest crime conceivable. They desperately wanted to maintain their power, prestige and money as they deliberately covered up this evil — now what priests do we trust?
I would not leave my child alone with any priest.
