Comments on: L.A.'s Cardinal Apologizes For Abuse

Archdiocese Will Pay $660 Million Settlement To More Than 500 Victims

Are you people nuts,why didnt the abused say something way before money was involed.So many years went by now when money is involed its father ...abused me back in the 70s. Why did they keep going back to that same church.Why even let yourself be alone with the priest if you where being abused,it takes two to tangle.Did the word NO keep your hands off me come into mind.Yes I beleive some where abused,but i also believe many men lied about being abused for the money and came out with there story because of the money.

"It should not have happened, and it will not happen again"

This guy sounds sincere, but he is full of hot air. I met priests while in a treatment facility in Arizona. They were absolutely unrepentant, and bragged about their 'conquests'. Their 'bosses' knew they were rapists, and were obviously just moving them around while things calmed down in one location, and then sent them to the next. Evidently, this shell game had gone on for years, with an endless string of ruined lives, and many more to be ruined in the future. Money seemed of no matter to the church, the treatment centers cost $30K/month. If you think the church was not aware that these rapists were moving among your children and wives, you are mistaken...

I know, how about the Catholic church hire married men instead of homosexuals to be its rituals leaders?

And, how about the Catholic church ban its leaders from drinking during working hours or when meeting with clients, customers?

How about the Catholic church stop pretending to represent anything other than enriching Vatican City?

I don't think an apology will cover it buddy!!!
