...before the church congratulates itself let's remember that they tried their damndest to keep from ever allowing it to come to this....to trials and defrocking, I mean...which proves again that if we have improved our human rights record at all over the ages it is not thanks to religion or the church but in spite of them.

Monsignor Charles M. Kavanagh was dismissed from the priesthood following the decision Wednesday by the tribunal, which was acting on authority from the Vatican. --------------------- |
