The Catholic Church has been blatant in their cover up of priestly child abuse. There are currently six priest taking refuge in the Vatican to avoid extradition to the U.S. on charges of child molestation.
Instead of hearing about candidates covering for these collared pedophiles it would be nice to see a candidate promise to propose legislation to revoke the tax-exempt status of any religious institution that aids and abets these monsters. Furthermore they should promise to withdraw the U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican (yes, we have one) until they become more forthright and transparent on the prosecution of these child abusers.
