Pope Francis was told as early as 2014 that a Catholic priest accused of sexually abusing children in Italy had been reassigned to a school in Argentina, where he has since been arrested on suspicion of child rape.

The Rev Nicola Corradi, 82, was arrested in late November alongside four other men following allegations of abuse at the Antonio Provolo Institute for hearing-impaired children in Mendoza province.

He was named in the scandal that hit the institute's Verona school in 2009, when 67 students alleged they had been abused. The Verona diocese apologised to students there and the Vatican sanctioned four priests, though not Rev Corradi. In 2014 the students sent the Pope a letter - acknowledged only this year - again naming him as an abuser, living in Argentina.

...

Two dozen students have said they were attacked by Rev Corradi, the Rev Horacio Corbacho, 55, and three other men at the school in Lujan de Cuyo, a city about 620 miles northwest of Buenos Aires.

"Breath of fresh air," "best pope evah," yada yada yada.

1. I'm sure there's a reason like... 'no conviction'.

Suppression of evidence having nothing to do of course.

2. I wonder what "zero tolerance" is supposed to mean then?

3. the cover-up is worse than the crime

it is so sad that catholics do not see this

[trotsky]

4. Precious few do.

The rest seem content to label anyone who calls attention to these crimes an "anti-Catholic bigot."
