Yes, It's True

Yahoo! News - Bishop Indicted on Child Rape Charges

"He becomes the first Roman Catholic prelate indicted in the sex abuse scandal within the American church."

Craziness. Allegations have been made in bulk since the 1950s at least, but payoffs and cover ups and grand egos kept these men from being prosecuted. The "Hierarchy" of the church has more power than our own government (pre-Bush admin, that is) and I'm actually surprised that one of their own did not manage to slither through the charges, like all the rest.

This is a sea change for all priest-abuse victims out there.
