Cardinal Authorized Paying Abusers

Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York authorized payments of as much as $20,000 to sexually abusive priests as an incentive for them to agree to dismissal from the priesthood when he was the archbishop of Milwaukee.
Questioned at the time about the news that one particularly notorious pedophile cleric had been given a “payoff” to leave the priesthood, Cardinal Dolan, then the archbishop, responded that such an inference was “false, preposterous and unjust.”
But a document unearthed during bankruptcy proceedings for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and made public by victims’ advocates reveals that the archdiocese did make such payments to multiple accused priests to encourage them to seek dismissal, thereby allowing the church to remove them from the payroll.
A spokesman for the archdiocese confirmed on Wednesday that payments of as much as $20,000 were made to “a handful” of accused priests “as a motivation” not to contest being defrocked. The process, known as “laicization,” is a formal church juridical procedure that requires Vatican approval, and can take far longer if the priest objects.
“It was a way to provide an incentive to go the voluntary route and make it happen quickly, and ultimately cost less,” said Jerry Topczewski, the spokesman for the archdiocese. “Their cooperation made the process a lot more expeditious.”

Victims should start another class-action suit and sue the ex-priests for the $ the Vatican gave them. PS Hope they're all in prison already

ALL women must go on a global BIRTH STRIKE now to punish these mother-killing child rapists. Now wonder Dolan and Poop Nazinger oppose effective family planning -- so their pedophile buddies will have unlimited victims!

God does not teach institutionalized celibacy for men or women. Never has. Where did this organization get this stuff?

Twisted falsehood...it sows it's seeds, spreads it's branches, and the harvest comes. Monstrous crime and suffering.
