The Catholic church never fails to amaze me… They released a list of 77 child molesters from their church including 1 nun.
This list was like throwing it’s victims a bone and once they bent over to pick it up they grabbed it and slammed them in the back of the head with it
This is a political hack type of move,either a lawyer or a politician was behind this and I’m pretty sure it has ties to the City of Everett councilman slash attorney for the Archdiocese. Never trust a man who defends a group of child molesters in covering up their crimes
Problem is that most of the names have already been released through the hard work of a website called Bishop Accountability
Seems the Church left out 53 names (of known cases in Washington) ***the names the church listed are shown in red
