Who's to Blame?

Here's how I see this. If he stayed in your parish, helped in your school and conducted some services, then he is under your control and watch. If he victimized people while staying in your parish, then I think it is also your problem. Perhaps the most troubling part of all this is the fact that three bishops appear to be attempting to pass the blame. Blame the man, and then take some sort of responsibility and help the victim(s). I think the thing I am most tired of with all of this "scandal" is the way the Catholic church seems to play politics when it comes to accepting responsibility and taking initiative to resolve situations liek these.
