SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Bishop Thomas Dupre, the former head of the Springfield Diocese, was indicted Monday on child rape charges, accused of molesting two boys in the 1970s, the county prosecutor said.

He becomes the first Roman Catholic prelate indicted in the sex abuse scandal within the American church.

Dupre, 70, resigned Feb. 11 after nine years as head of the diocese, one day after The Republican newspaper of Springfield confronted him with allegations he abused two boys while he was a parish priest. Dupre cited health reasons for his departure. He retains the title of bishop.

1. America, obsessed in the 90s with fictitious Satanic Ritual Abuse

comes to realize rather late that the actual abuse has been practiced by Christians all along.

2. Hypocrisy abounds

"The other client, who is gay, came forward with his claims after hearing Dupre speak out against the legalization of same-sex marriage."

So even Catholic priests who are pedophiles believe they have sufficient moral authority to deny a gay couple the right to marry.

What's wrong with this picture?
