He decries the fact that all priests are in subordination to suspicion and then with a moral paintbrush damns all the Catholic hierarchy.

Albert Clem Houston, Tex Kaiser leaves to "accused" molester Paul Shanley then goe onward to write that "the meeting-house knew he had been abusing" lads Kaiser has jumped onto the hysteria bandwagon. Shanley's guilt has however to be established in a court of law, unless why bother with a trial? Kaiser already "knows" the man's guilty. Did we learn nothing from the McMartin Preschool case? Or the Salem witch trials? Gene Touchet, Cathedral City, Calif. COPYRIGHT 2002 Liberation Publications, Inc. |
