The True Nest of Child Molesters
Is Not the Rubber Room

Remember Cardinal Edward Egan insinuating himself into the UFT - DOE contract in 2003 ? Pressuring Randi "for the sake of our children" ? Strange defender of children, given the bagage the holiness was carrying at the time.
Secret court documents reveal that New York Cardinal Edward Egan, while serving as bishop of the Bridgeport Roman Catholic Diocese, allowed several priests facing multiple accusations of sexual abuse to continue working for years-- including who admitted biting a teenager during oral sex. Egan failed to investigate aggressively some abuse allegations, did not refer complaints to criminal authorities and, during closed testimony in 1999, suggested that a dozen people who made complaints of rape, molestation and beatings against the same priest may all have been lying, the documents show. In comments that seem starkly out of synch with the current climate of zero tolerance for sex-abuse accusations against priests, Egan said he wasn't interested in allegations -- only "realities.” He added that "very few have even come close to having anyone prove anything” against a priest.

"Allegations are allegations,” he said in the 1999 testimony.
