Enabling Sexual Abuse

[edit]

"Likewise, when a priest is an abuser of children, you don't make him chaplain of the local Boy Scouts. Yet this is exactly what happened when Fr. James Janssen of the Diocese of Davenport, Iowa, became a nuisance to Bishop Gerald Francis O'Keefe. Janssen had confessed to O'Keefe's predecessor, Bishop Ralph Lee Hayes, that he had molested children. Hayes did his best to keep the matter quiet, and O'Keefe, taking the reins from Hayes, decided to make Janssen the chaplain of the Boy Scouts. This type of coddling of criminals is completely insane, but it wasn't the first or last time sexually abusive priests were reassigned to positions in close proximity to innocent children."
