Personally I would rather that none of these clerics are charged. Simply because the rising tide of revulsion against their continuous behviour and their ability to avoid the consequences of them will eventually completely overwhelm the catholic church. Not just in Ireland, but across europe.

And a good thing too.

And they may continue to abuse if not charged and jailed. What would you consider those children? Collateral damage? Means to an end?

Your question is actually beside the point since I don't believe anyone'll be charged anyway. Justice and the good name of the dominant church are rarely even kissing cousins in most countries.

Yes, it would be marvellous if the Gardai were to seriously consider clearing out the stables, but as Frank points out, they are the political classes are too deferential to the hierarchy who allowed the problem to fester while the church is far too protective of their own to ever give out more than name, rank and number.

that's why I opt for the rising tide of revulsion. it's the only way to get the message across, papal paranoia or no.
