      <![CDATA[If the diocese was serious, they would put a prosecutor,<br>and investigator, and a victim in charge.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>However, they continue to test what the congregation will tolerate.&nbsp; <br><br><br>&nbsp;<br><br><br>The congregation knows that there has never been a priest<br>in the entire world that has spoken up honestly and strongly against child<br>abuse, and if the congregation will accept another one, they can continue to<br>hide the truth, which is that the problem is much, much, much worse than we've<br>seen.<br><br><br>&nbsp;<br><br><br>A Grand Jury investigation should take place as soon as<br>possible.&nbsp; <br><br><br>&nbsp;<br><br><br>Bishop Finn and his co-conspirators hid one pedophile<br>that we know about, but we were lucky to find that one.&nbsp; There are certainly others.<br><br><br>&nbsp;<br><br><br>If you are Catholic at all, you should read the first 6<br>pages of the Phil Grand Jury report at<br><br><br><a href="http://www.philadelphiadistrictattorney.com/images/Grand_Jury_Report.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.philadelphiadistric...</a><br>to see what they found when they did an investigation in Philadelphia.<br><br><br>&nbsp;<br><br><br>You should demand an investigation in Kansas CIty to see<br>what else has been covered up.
