re: Did the Catholic Church hide pedophiles?

quote:

do know that in the diocese of Houma-Thibodaux that I’m in that there’s a zero-tolerance policy now among active priests, new seminarians are very thoroughly scrutinized and vetted

I’m a practicing Catholic and disgusted by the way the church has handled its pedophiles. It’s not fair to the good priests and clergy. The fact there someone has to state that there is a zero-tolerance policy for the parish. I mean, isn’t that’s the accepted standard by good people and parents for everything, everywhere? Why even need to state zero tolerance for something so serious touching kids.
