Hey, but who's counting?
By Diogenes (articles ) | May 04, 2003 3:45 PM
The Arizona Republic's analysis of Diocese of Phoenix documents reveals some interesting numbers:
*Priests accused of sexual misconduct at some point during their careers were assigned to at least 42 of the 88 parishes in the Phoenix Diocese from 1970 to 2002.
*At least three parochial schools and a Catholic university center were assigned priests who either eventually were removed from ministry or indicted on criminal charges.
*One priest accused of sexual misconduct worked in nine parishes, and half of all priests who faced abuse allegations worked in three or more parishes in the diocese.
*10 of the 12 largest Hispanic parishes were exposed to priests who were accused some time during their career of sexual misconduct, including some of the worst offenders.
It's important to remember that we're all on a learning curve (curva de erudición) here.
