Thanks again. To be sure, different arrangements for different cases makes sense. I am preoccupied by the true pedophile. Everything I have read suggests that this drive is so very strong that, given opportunity, re-offense is almost inevitable. But I also sense that often enough, even such folks grasp that what they desire to do is wrong, and are sometime willing to accept confinement. That is the type of case I would like the Church to hang on to. 

Bottom line, we agree diverse responses for different cases. And I presume we also agree that our Church is not at all ready for that level of sophisticated response--just grasping prevention and then victim support must be the absolute priorities, has still not come to dominate our episcopal mind sets.
