He was as bad as the worst of them..

I wonder what will come up in the program. Allegations perhaps but I dont think any were tested in court. The situation appears that an alligation for clergy will result in imediate suspension wheras in civillion or political life no action is required until prooven. I regard the distingition between the two situations unfair. I have to leave aside my distain of the clergy..

"By early 2006, the Vatican had received at least two allegations of child sexual abuse against him.

The Vatican has now confirmed for the first time that Casey was formally banned from public ministry in 2007, following allegations, which included his niece’s complaint."
