State views on church abuse scandal and parish theft flight
The Pennsylvania grand jury report identifies 301 predator priests across the state who abused over 1,000 children. In Dallas, Rev. Edmundo Paredes fled after being accused of stealing up to 80000 dollars from St. Cecilia parish and molesting three teens over a decade. The piece links the crisis to Pope Francis calls for accountability and urges stronger third party reporting mechanisms within the church.
