Ex-NY Bishop Howard J. Hubbard Admits Diocese “Temporarily” Moved Priests Accused of Sexual Abuse
Apparently, Bishop Hubbard went through psychological gymnastics sufficient to convince himself that his confession to a criminal conspircy was not really a confession.
I pretty much gave up going to Confession after I realized that the priest in the confessional probably committed 1000 times worse atrocities than I did.
ReplyDeleteThe priest at my parish would reverse things--and instead of HEARING confessions,would start telling the penitents,who had entered the confessional,HIS sins.The faithful would walk in--and a minute later--run out screaming.
Your priest might just be a pervert when there's a sign on the confessional door,"Nude Confessions Today Only".
Your priest might be up to no good when you see him slipping a mickey into the sacramental wine before he distributes it at communion.
Your priest is a perv,if all the altar girls are pregnant and the altar boys walk "funny".
Those are a few jokes,but it's no laughing matter in the least.
When I was about 8 or 9,a priest walking the school hallway,stopped me as I was coming from the bathroom.Everyone was in class so the hallway was empty.
He picked me up and took me to an empty classroom--true story--where he rubbed my face on his beard stubble.
"You're such a nice young boy,"he said.Then he let me go.He must have just been starting out his perv lifestyle.
I told my mom,but she didn't act worried and the priest never tried it again--with me or anyone that I knew about.He never made another appearance in the school.
Now,of course,I know,the priest was a damn perv.

Right. As moving them around from parish to parish was going to change the ways of the miscreants.
