re: #221 Walter L. Newton

I really can’t believe you would even suggest that the person even be accorded the opportunity to remain in the priesthood.

On this point, I agree. Such an egregious violation of the duties and very role of a priest is clearly grounds for expulsion from the priesthood.

Ever seen The Mission? Bringing back some serious application of earthly penance might not be a bad thing, either. Although I prefer to just hand them off to the legal system in the end.
