More of the same in terms of sexual abuse by Catholic priests…
One would think that with all the nuns in the Church priests would be more inclined to have sex with them than with boys, but such is not the case. As long as parents continue to send their kids to Catholic schools and churches the sexual abuse will continue… TGO

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Two Italians who say they were sexually abused by priests have completed a 340-mile (550-kilometer) protest march to the Vatican and demanded an independent inquiry.
The journey from Savona in northern Italy to St. Peter’s Square took 19 days. Francesco Zanardi and Alberto Sala arrived in Vatican City on Tuesday, where they tried unsuccessfully to obtain an audience with the pope.
They handed over a letter demanding the Italian bishops’ conference open the inquiry into priestly sex abuse and draft norms requiring pedophiles be defrocked “without exception.” They want any bishop who leaves abusers in ministry to be removed.
The Vatican has given the Italians and all other bishops’ conferences until May to draft norms.
