There is strong speculation that the Diocese of Milwaukee Bankruptcy case will see Cardinal Dolan facing a subpoena to testify about his attempts to protect assets from claims by abuse survivors.

In short, State and Federal Prosecutors are preparing to go after the bishops personally for their role enabling pedophiles.

1. Prison for them

2. That doesn't sound like a winning strategy.

If that is the case, those old authoritarian/fascist bastards have a very simplistic view of things.

simplistic view of things!

3. If there is a God, wouldnt lightening have struck the pedophile priests long ago? nm

5. What you are raising is a question about free will

which is very complex. The old simplistic view is of gods striking down whoever displeased them. The view of God that develops in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures is of a God who allows us to live with the consequences of our actions and in-actions. If every evil thing we did was immediately set right, would there really be such a thing as free will?

6. Ah, the old "free will" pretzel logic.

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?”
~Epicurus
