The former vicar general of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix was arrested Monday on charges he fondled boys and young men and asked them prying questions about their sex lives that he pretended were part of confession.I'm really getting tired of commenting on these opportunistic deviants, there seems to be no end to them.
Monsignor Dale Fushek, 53, becomes one of the highest-ranking priests to be charged in the sex scandal that has engulfed the church. The vicar general is the highest-ranking administrator of a diocese next to the bishop.At first I said this can't be true, seeing that RMS (Repressed Memory Syndrom) is involved; I'm absolutely no friend of RMS, period. But this one line of the report assured me this is not false accusation ...
Michael Haran, an attorney for the diocese, said the church knew of one of the alleged victims because it had settled with him previously, but the other six names were new to diocese officials.I'm terribly pained for the decent Catholics who are sick of all this negative publicity, but I have no sympathy for Catholic officials or their little kingdoms if they've been complicit in the decades of coverup. And the systemic and recurring denials are an embarrassment to any reasonable person.
Worse are the whiners who are now criticizing the Vatican for their upcoming restrictions on queers in the priesthood/
