how much more proof do they need

before they (they meaning all those that deny and all those that lie and all those that think this was just one or two incidents and all those that think it's ok to molest children and all those that make excuses) DEMAND justice and the truth from the catholic church FROM THE TOP RIGHT ON DOWN (so to speak)

Pope Benedict balked at defrocking California priest over molestation

Newly public documents show that the future Pope Benedict XVI was reluctant in the 1980s to defrock a California priest sentenced to probation for molesting young boys.

Letters over a five-year span between the Diocese of Oakland and the Vatican -- including a 1985 letter signed by then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger -- have come to light at a time when Benedict's involvement in sex abuse cases in the United States and Europe has been under intense scrutiny. Benedict headed an office charged with defrocking some priests.

In a letter dated four years after the Oakland Diocese proposed defrocking the Rev. Stephen Kiesle, Benedict expressed concern that laicizing Kiesle "could provoke some scandal among the faithful," according to an internal document, which called the Vatican guidance "not too encouraging."..............

so ratsy, it was MORE important to you to let someone keep molesting OR to hide the truth, than to have 'the faithful' actually know the fucking TRUTH? you're a sick fuck. do you know that?
