First, there was no action taken (one extreme); then all accused priests are considered guilty and have to prove their innocence (the other extreme). There is a reasonable alternative to these extremes: US law, which considers a person innocent until proven guilty and gives everyone accused person the right to face his/her accuser (with specified ways of handling the case of children), neither of which is the case in the case of the Catholic Church which holds itself apart from the law (in California, this is being challenged, and priests may actually gain some rights).Elizabeth Mahlouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00334700057953625321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8335467175051992340.post-19241131160302951202012-09-15T03:48:58.441-07:002012-09-15T03:48:58.441-07:00Being a non-Catholic, I may not know what I am tal...Being a non-Catholic, I may not know what I am talking about, but I find the way the Roman Catholic Church has handled all of these cases abominable.
