The names

For the first time ever, the Harrisburg Diocese, in Pennsylvania, has confirmed a list of names of priests accused of sexual abuse of children.

The Diocese of Harrisburg has acknowledged by name 15 priests who have been accused of sexually abusing children and who at one time worked in the diocese — including one who served in Dallastown in 1989-90.

A list of 15 priests, compiled by the York Daily Record, was provided to the diocese on June 14. On July 21, after multiple requests by the Daily Record, the diocese responded to each name on the list. It is believed to be the first time the Harrisburg diocese has confirmed a list of accused priests, including details on where and when they served, and how the diocese responded when the allegations were made.

The Catholic Church has a well-established and -documented method for handling priests with unwholesome interests: It moves them.

Before coming to St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church in Dallastown, Raymond Prybis was assigned to six churches in six dioceses in five states over 22 years. He spent less than two years in Dallastown before being moved to a residence for priests of his religious order in Massachusetts, according to The Official Catholic Directory, which lists assignments for priests around the world.

NOT what is usually meant when one speaks of a “man on the move.”

A religion is a tribe united by a delusion, and nobody should be obliged to subsidize it.
