Twenty-one priests in Philadelphia have been suspended over allegations of child molestation. Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia said the 21 Roman Catholic priests were put on leave while their cases were being reviewed. 37 priests were identified as suspects in a grand jury report released last month following widespread claims of child molestation. The jurors also found that a panel set up by the archdiocese of Philadelphia was established mostly in the interest of the church. [BBC News]

TWENTY ONE IN PHILADELPHIA. TWENTY ONE
WTF. I’d like to point out that this is the same cardinal who raised such a fuss about my college having a Rainbow Week that we had to change the damned name and scrap some of the activities. Obviously his time would have been better served trying to protect the children who live in PA from abusive priests.
PA residents, these are the names of the accused:
Monsignor John A. Close of St. Catherine of Siena in Wayne, Pa.
The Rev. Mark Fernandes of St. Agnes Roman Catholic Church in Sellersville, Pa.
Monsignor J. Michael Flood of St. Luke the Evangelist in Glenside, Pa.
The Rev. Joseph M. Glatts of SS. Simon and Jude in West Chester, Pa.
The Rev. Steven J. Harris of St. Issac Jogues Catholic Church in Wayne, Pa.
The Rev. Daniel J. Hoy of Our Lady of the Assumption in Strafford, Pa.
The Rev. Andrew McCormick of Sacred Heart in Swedesburg, Pa.
The Rev. Peter Talocci of St. Patrick’s in Malvern, Pa.
The Rev. Phillip Barr
The Rev. John Bowe
The Rev. George Cadwallader
The Rev. Paul Castellani
The Rev. Michael Chapman
Monsignor Frances Feret
The Rev. Mark Gaspar
Monsignor Joseph Logrip
The Rev. Zachary Navit
The Rev. Leonard Peterson
The Rev. Robert Povish
The Rev. John Reardon
