The Catholic parishners are just as guilty. I am so disgusted with the church and the Catholic religion not only because of teh stories, but the "holier than tho" parishners that turn a blind eye. These "followers" are scarier than any terrorist. They listen to what is preached to them and then in turn feel its LAW. Later on, the priests do illegal acts and what is their reaction? Oh, but he is our priest..he made a mistake". Bunch of hypocrits! Half of these hypocrits have more skelatons in their closets than the ones that do not attend church. You people make me sick. I am disgusted.report abuseMaineMan

This is as bad as the priests at St. Mary's (Fr. Shorty and Fr. Melville) who were molesting boys at St. Mary's School all the while Augusta Police and DA's Office staff were aware of it and did NOTHING!report abuseConnie Valliere

I hope the press picks up how upset people are about this decision. Bishop Malone, you are as much of a perpetrator as the ones you are protecting. Shame on you. Incredible. I'm shocked. I have no words to express my outrage.report abuse---
