When a priest molest a little boy, they try and cover it up and hurry up and move the priest to another church so he can continue to rape young boys. This priest in the story is accused of having porn on his computer, images of preteen girls and they want to defrock him. I think he should be charged by the police for his crimes, but my gripe is if it was images of young boys they would not want him defrocked, they would just cover it up, because raping young boys is ok with the church.

WORCESTER, Mass. — A Roman Catholic diocese in Massachusetts has asked the Vatican to defrock a priest who is facing charges of possessing child pornography and stealing from his parish.
A spokesman for the Diocese of Worcester (WUH'-stur) tells The Telegram & Gazette () that Bishop Robert McManus has asked the pope to defrock the Rev. Lowe Dongor. http://bit.ly/rqPrfv
Diocese officials say they are seeking to laicize Dongor in the wake of a "clarification" last spring by Vatican officials that child pornography possession is grounds for removal from the priesthood.
Authorities say images of preteen girls were found on Dongor's computer. He also is accused of stealing $40 to $60 from St. Joseph parish in Fitchburg on several occasions. He was released after pleading not guilty and suspended from ministry. It is believed he fled to his native Philippines.

He is just transfered to another church to continue his ways. History shows that the Catholic church has covered up the molesting of little boys for many years, that is fact.

To imply that this is S.O.P for the Church today is either ignorance or a less than honest attempt at a smear. The story you posted completely refutes your assertion as it appears the diocese worked to have the man defrocked. The Church/ Diocese has no civil authority to arrest or hold the man...he was released by the police.

They defrocked this man because he had pictures of pre-teen girls on his computer and had stolen $60.00, not for molesting boys.
