The Maracopa County Attorney gave immunity from prosecution to the Bishop of Phoenix if he would admit to obstructing justice and give up the names of all the pedophile priests he has moved or concealed over the years.

Now the County Attorney is sayint the Bishop lied to him. And that his Vicar-General, the Churches chief lawyer in Phoenix, lied when he led him to beleve that two wanted priests were out of the country. Now they have reason to beleve they may not only be in the country, but here in Arizona.

Briceno and Colleary are the two that the County Attorney now suspect may be in the US, not overseas as the Church originally told them.

Same thing is happening in Cincinnati right now. The prosecutor is claiming the church has obstructed the investigation and lied to investigators.

None of this comes as any great surprise since, as an occupation, priests have the highest prevalence of homosexuality, pedophilia, alcoholism and AIDS.

tell me it isn't soo! not the Catholic Church, no, you must be mistaken.

The Vatican doesn't beleve these alligations, because the senile old man on the throne doesn't want to beleve these aligations. Instead it is simply viewed as harrassment of Catholics in a predominantly non Catholic country.

Because the Pope has surrounded himslef with so many third worlders who hate the United States with a passion. (the top two canidates for a successor to JPII are a Peruvian and a Congoese) there is no one who is willing to tell them the truth.
