L.A. Pedophile Priests 'Dumped On' Latino Neighborhoods? Revealing Audio Unearthed

The L.A. Archdiocese not only knew about pedophile priests, but strategized about how to shuffle them around.

KCET's "SoCal Connected" at 5:30 tonight will air its exclusive investigation into the scandal that has clouded the legacy of ex-Cardinal Roger Mahony. The station obtained exclusive, 1996 audio of Father Stephen Rosetti speaking about how to deal with these creeps:

Yeah.

KCET also discovered that many of L.A.'s alleged pedophile priests -- our archdiocese had the most, 260, in the nation -- worked in the city's Latino neighborhoods.

For the church, out town became, KCET says, the home of the "'L.A. Model,' a program that quietly put sexual abusive priests in desk jobs around the dioceses and even helped them find outside employment."

"SoCal Connected" found that of the top 10 parishes for abusive priests, half were in Latino neighborhoods. Former priest Richard Sipe tells the show:

The Latino community in the end is going to be very, very angry that they were used. They literally were dumped on.

Pedophilia and other forms of sexual abuse always exists in authoritarian institutions. The only way to remove pedophile priests is to change the authoritarian nature of the Church. That will never happen. Thus, the pedophilia will not end; only the coverups will become more sophisticated.

In the Jewish Community, pedophilia especially homosexual abuse is found predominately in the Ultra-Orthodox schools. The same with the Mormons. The more authoritarian an institution the more sexual abuse of the less powerful. We see the same problem with the military although we are focused on the rape of women at the present time.

If parents want to reduce the chances that their child will be sexually molested by a priest, they need to keep their kid away from the Church and they also need to avoid the strictly authoritarian Protestant churches. The same goes for the (Jewish) Haredim.

They do the same thing with the pervert school teachers they throw them into the low income neighborhoods where people's voices don't matter another crime against the poor of america...

Media is so angry already w/the pope and I know exactly why. How many more news articles will we see this week on this sort of stuff? I think we have a pretty good knowledge now about the pedo debacle to last a lifetime. btw, I am not personally an RCC member.
