Silly question: How come all these priest with all these sex related crimes aren't removed from the Church or Vatican?
The minute a Catholic priests marries or comes out of the closet (gay/lesbian priests) or even endorses a women priest/bishop, he/she is promptly removed from the congregation and entire Church power structure comes down heavily on him/her. But if a priest is accused of crimes against the flock they are supposed to tend to, it's quitely brushed under the carpet.
Or my assumption just plain wrong?
