    Comments: In 1983, while Bishop Kelly was allowing this to happen, I was working for another Bishop in another state and reported abuse to him there. I knew it was wrong in 1983... why didn't the BISHOPS know

    Comments: Such dishonest subterfuge and colluded misrepresentation is not only unconscionable but criminal. Any cleric, regardless of seniority or position in the church should be accountable and in respect for victims and survivors step down from the church permanently. A group of Buddhist monks in Bangkok who had friends dressed as monks to assist in gathering donations for their temple, when discovered what they did voluntarily stepped down from monkhood for the shame they had brought on not only their temple, but Buddhist orders. It appears the Buddhist monks have higher principles and sense of conscience than that overtly and shamefully displayed globally by the Catholic church, given the Catholics constant denials, manipulation, lies and lack of compassion or conscience for vistims and survivors by the Catholic priests who are protected by the church. Any Bishop who covers abuse and assists in protecting and lying about perpetrators they are aware are clearly indicative of the desparation of these men to keep their disgusting patriarchal system alive. I suppose confession remedies all in the eyes of these men...well eventually, regardless of confessions, these men will realise the lies they continue to perpetrate will follow them to their graves. These men have no conscience or sense of decency or honour. Simple_

    Comments: Bishop Kelly is a man whom I have respected, but his moral authority is gone. If he couldn't do the right thing when it was so black and white, how can we trust him in more obscure moral territory.

    Comments: Bishops who endanger children are as guilty of scandal as those who actually abuse them. Our church is better off without them. They must resign so we can heal and rebuild our church!

    Comments: I think that the only real hope for our church is his and many others resignation so as to allow more honest and compassionate men the chance to move in a more positive direction, addressing this issue and healing. The cover-up cannot continue or be ignored.

    Comments: Although I am not a literal victim of abuse by priests, as a Catholic I feel we have all been victimized. I feel that it will take me a long time to once again trust any authority figure in the church. It has shaken a portion of my faith and trust in the church. It is also painful as a citizen of Louisville to know that this abuse has occured in my community. There are other cases of corruption in the Archdiocese of Louisville that His Excellency has turned a blind eye to--it is definately time for him to resign.

    Comments: I say we fight with the checkbook. My vote is to withhold our monies from the Louisville area parishes until Kelly is forced out. If they will not listen to voice, they will listen to the financial side of it. It is the only way to make sure he is forced out. We can get a list of needy chuches outside his area of service and give to them instead. Think about it!!

    Comments: I have long been an Archbishop Kelly supporter but he knowingly allowing a pedophile to continue to be around children and continue in the ministry and that is unacceptable. State law requires anyone who knows of or suspects abuse must report it. The Archbishop chose to cover it up. That's not acceptable!!

    Comments: If Christ died as an act of redemptive love for us, surely Archbishop Kelly can accept a job demotion as an act of healing affection for those who suffered because of his inadequate vision of what our Church should be.

    Comments: This reprehensible crime would be punished if it had been perpetrated by a "civilian". We should be able to hold our religious leaders to no less a standard. In fact, they should happily be held to a higher standard as servants of Christ. In my opinion, any person who condones the abuse of children should not be leading the church. God forgives, but we have no idea what future circumstance will arise that he will "sell us out" again.
