Another example of the dangers of hidden and protected sexual predators within the Catholic priesthood and various religious orders world-wide.
A March 15, 2016 article on www.aol.com quotes Pennsylvania Attorney General, Kathleen Kane, “Three members of a Franciscan religious order were criminally charged with conspiracy on Tuesday for letting a friar, who was a known predator, hold jobs in which he sexually abused more than 80 children.”
