Do those priests ever actually go to jail, or does the system somehow view it as less of a crime..?

I’ve never heard one media report of a priest being arrested, booked at jail, brought to trial, and sentenced to jail for being a pedo. Why is this?

The Catholic Church is very powerful and they pull all the strings they can to control politicians (who control the police) and to repress the press.

    Because the media fear what would happen if they expose a preacher for the wolf he is.

    The clown suit is a Mulligan, with few exceptions.
    Bad cops get away with this kind of crap, too.
    Personally, I think that anyone who abuses a position of power and authority should be burned at the stake.
    No exceptions.

    forget about Priests, they are a minority compared to corrupt judges and CPs serivices and then add to the list Teachers and foster parents.

    i have an audio file of an interview with a cardinal in Anchorage alaska.
    and yes some priests do get jail sentences.
    but remember teachers are more of a threat to children than priests.

    The crime is that the Papacy treats it as a moral failing RATHER than a crime.

    Cos the people in jail would kill em’. And I guess the courts have sympathy for the pedophile a*holes.

    Well, they have links with the underworld and such.

    Even if one manages to get arrested and imprisoned they still make sure it’s kept privet.

    Money and power talks.

    b/c man makes their own laws up. the world shuns god’s law or we would all be godly. but those priests will not escape god’s judgment for their wickedness. they need to confess their sins, ask for forgiveness and repent from that course b/c they may hide behind their fellow men and their fellow church members and the local governments but they cannot hide from god

    That’s right – you rarely hear about it. Same reason you rarely hear about the higher percentage of Protestants, teachers, daddies, etc who molest. Wanna know why??

    IT DOESN’T SELL!

    In 2001, concerned about the slowness with which cases of clerical sexual abuse were being handled by the Roman Rota, Cardinal Ratzinger successfully lobbied Pope John Paul II to have responsibility for such cases transferred to the CDF. Since that time, the CDF has authorized over 3,000 cases against priests accused of sexual abuse; 85 percent of the cases have resulted in a conviction.

    They stopped trying to arrest them, because after they got arrested, they would use their faith like a mustard seed to teleport themselves out of jail.
