Twenty-one priests have been placed on administrative leave following a review of suspected child sexual abuse by members of the Catholic Church in Philadelphia, according to a statement from the city's archbishop. The church investigated 37 priests identified in a grand jury report as remaining in "active ministry with credible allegations of child sexual abuse," according to Cardinal Justin Rigali. In addition to the 21 announced Tuesday, three other priests have already been placed on administrative leave after the report was released in February, Rigali said.
But the Catholic Church keeps investing time and money trying to prevent consenting same-sex adults from exchanging vows, insisting that it's those people who are a grave moral danger. Uh huh.
Bonus hypocrisy: one of these accused pillars of moral authority was actually in charge of investigating reports of kiddie-fucker priests. Nice.
