Pennsylvania Supreme Court orders release of report listing more than 300 'predator' priests

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ordered the release of a redacted copy of grand jury report on sexual abuse by clergy members that includes a list naming more than 300 "predator priests."

Philly.com reported Friday that the public copy of the report will not include the names of more than 20 current and former clergy members who have fought in court to not be identified in the report.

"There can be no doubt that the subject matter of the report is incendiary, and therefore, the stakes for individuals reproached therein are substantially heightened," Chief Justice Thomas Saylor wrote in the court's 31-page order.

They allow these predators to hide behind the bible in what is supposed to be a safe environment for children. It is no wonder that the church is becoming less and less applicable to the modern world

Why not these assholes? They are not that different; they just wear a collar.
