Today we learn that a retired Catholic Archbishop in the US is claiming in a soon-to-be-published memoir that he did not comprehend the potential harm to young victims or understand that the priests had committed a crime.

Said Rembert G Weakland:

We all considered sexual abuse of minors as a moral evil, but had no understanding of its criminal nature.


Wow. I mean, I'm sure he wouldn't have done it if he knew it was criminal. But since he thought it was only a MORAL evil, well, I guess he figured God would forgive him.
