And, the psychologists at that time likened the abusers to those who had sexual relations with women. Their advice to the catholic Bishops was to remove them from the situation as soon as possible, and that would solve everything. The Bishops, not being psychologists themselves listened to the advice and believed everything was well and good.
It always helps to know the rest of the story.

Priests should be allowed to marry, this is a simple solution, but they don't want to talk about it. They told me it's a money matter not spiritual. if they have a family they have to support the wife and kids and this will bring more complains about how much money they will spent.Every thing is about money for the church, The Vatican is the richest country in the world .!

Dr. Jay Feierman, a psychiatrist in Albuquerque, NM, who has met with hundreds of pedophilic priests at the Catholic treatment center, said that although some priests he treated molested young children or teenage girls, more than half, he said, had abused boys 12 to 17. His study was accepted for publication in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, a scientific journal, but withdrawn due to pressures by the director of the Catholic Treatment Center!
Dr. Robert Goodkind, a psychologist who worked at Jemez Springs, NM, in the 1980's and 1990's, said the priests seemed oblivious that the boys they were abusing were minors.
The deception ran DEEP!

Leopards do not change their spots! When they knew the priests liked sex with children, they should have bit the bullet and had them arrested and stopped. Instead they let the pedofiles carry on their quest for new victims by transferring, hiding and were too ashamed to air the dirt and scum out of the closets. All those innocent children, at least some of them, could have been spared the pain and humiliation of molestation. The money the church paid can never buy back their innocence. The church committed the gravest sin of all, as they forgot that children are a gift straight from God. They were put on this earth to be loved and nurtured and protected, as all children should be in a perfect world. Judgement day is coming, and the church, and all who allowed this to go on will rot in hell!
