Pedophilia Irish Style

Lynn Abraham, DA from Philadelphia, subpoenaed Philadelphia Archdiocese records. Published the names of about 100 priests in 2005 known by that diocese to be pedophiles. In many cases, these same priests were relocated to other assignments where they would be in contact with kids. Abraham then bluntly noted that PA State law made it impossible prosecute any priests.

Or from the Washington Post on 22 Sept 2005:

The scathing, 418-page report vents the grand jury's frustration that it was unable to indict anybody. It says there is clear evidence in church files that Krol, who died in 1996, and Bevilacqua, who retired two years ago, "enabled and excused" abuse by transferring accused priests from parish to parish without warning parishioners or informing police.

Among the priests they protected, the grand jury said, was one who raped an 11-year-old girl and then took her in for an abortion, and another who groped a teenage girl while she lay immobilized in traction in a hospital bed after a car accident.

"But the biggest crime of all is this: it worked," the report said. "The abuser priests, by choosing children as targets and trafficking on their trust, were able to prevent or delay reports of their sexual assaults, to the point where applicable statutes of limitations expired. And Archdiocese officials, by burying those reports they did receive and covering up the conduct, similarly managed to outlast any statutes of limitation. . . . We surely would have charged them if we could have done so."

And this was reported how many times all over the country? And this was posted how many times in The Cellar?

At what point is this not racketeering?
