from L Moss Sharman - Accused priests were often on Law's calendar By Michael Rezendes and Sacha Pfeiffer 1/10/03 On Oct. 29, 1984, then-archbishop Bernard F. Law hosted a private lunch for retired Monsignor Mark H. Keohane, the influential founding pastor of St. Bartholomew Church in Needham - and the uncle and surrogate father of the Rev. John J. Geoghan. Six weeks earlier, Law had ended Geoghan's assignment as a parish priest at St. Brendan Church in Dorchester, the second consecutive assignment in which Geoghan had been accused of sexually molesting boys. But two days after meeting with Keohane, Law wrote a letter to Geoghan informing him that he was being reassigned as a parish priest to St. Julia Church in Weston, one of the wealthiest communities in the archdiocese. ''I am confident that you will render fine priestly service to the People of God in St. Julia Parish,'' Law wrote....The entries do not indicate whether Law kept every appointment, but they do show Law had scheduled meetings with more than 35 priests who had been, or would be, formally accused of sexual misconduct - a pattern that seems to contradict pretrial testimony in which he repeatedly described his role in supervising accused priests as limited." http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/010/nation/Accused_priests_were_often_on_Law_s_calendar+.shtml
1,200 Priests in Sex Abuse Cases (AOL) New York AP 1/12/03 - Since the Roman Catholic church became embroiled in a sex abuse scandal a year ago, more than 1,200 priests in nearly every diocese in America have been accused of sexually abusing children, The New York Times reported. A survey conducted by the Times through Dec. 31 found that 4,268 people have claimed publicly or in lawsuits that priests abused them in the past six decades. The Times survey, relying on court records, news reports, church documents and interviews, found that 1,205 priests, or 1.8 percent of all priests ordained from 1950 to 2001, had been accused of abuse.

When stars are shot down - The mainstream US media's reaction to Hollywood artists protesting war against Iraq is a typical exercise in insulating American public opinion from the world around it, writes Aziza Sami ....Notable, however, is the manner in which mainstream US media reacted to its traditional icons, by turning its heroes into pariahs overnight. The actors' LA press conference was given minimal coverage on the major networks such as CNN, Fox News and NBC, save for a couple of interrogatory and rather hostile interviews with the protagonists. Penn's Iraq visit was almost completely ignored, and the actor became the butt of several derisory jokes by countless media pundits and hosts on late night talk shows. Barbara Streisand, for her part, was cautioned by Jay Leno on the Tonight Show to shut her mouth -- which, he said, is as big as a crocodile's -- and was chided for having "no brains". A day after the LA press conference, CNN's Connie Chung interviewed actors Mike Farrel and Jeanine Garofalo. This coincided with International Human Rights Day, on which American anti-war activists had organised marches and vigils across 40 states. Chung alluded to the event saying that "a few, not many" had turned up for these vigils. Garofalo, however, refused to let this pass and countered by saying that the vigils had been attended by thousands of demonstrators. The actress said that "the mainstream [US] media is consistently misrepresenting the real numbers of people who are against the war and stifling the voices of dissent." She asked why the media appeared so keen on building up the war rhetoric, by repeating mottoes such as "Showdown Iraq" (CNN's favourite). Chung then asked the actress if she thought it was "un-American" to question the war. The host also wondered what type of signal this message would send to the young men and women in the army who are risking their lives to fight overseas for their country. The actress responded by saying that she did not understand what was "un-American" about wanting to save the lives of both Americans and innocent Iraqis. <A HREF="">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
