[Are_grits_groceries]

AMSTERDAM — The Dutch Catholic Church and the Salesian order are investigating revelations that a Salesian priest served on the board of a group that promotes pedophilia with the full knowledge of his boss.

The order's top official in the Netherlands, Delegate Herman Spronck, confirmed in a statement that the priest – identified by RTL Nieuws as 73-year-old "Father Van B." – served on the board of "Martijn," a group that campaigns to end the Dutch ban on adult-child sex.

The group is widely reviled but not outlawed.

Church: "Shocked! I tells you shocked!" MEH!!!

If proven guilty, they all should be put on an island and given only bread and water while they try to figure out why they are perverts of the first order!

1. Does Dutch Catholic Church mean Roman Catholic Church in the Netherlands or does it refer...

to the Old Catholic Church of the Netherlands.

In the 19th century there were breaks with Rome over Vatican I. The two biggest breaks were in the Netherlands and Poland. In Poland the result was the Polish National Catholic Church, often called Polish Catholic. It is referred to as the original faith of Jeff Lebowski's friend Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski.

2. The priest is part of the Salesian Order

which falls under the Roman Catholic Church if I am not mistaken.
