For years, SNAP and other advocates demanded -- rightly, in my opinion -- that the Church laicize priest-pedophiles. But now that it's happening, we're supposed to consider laicization "cynical, hypocritical, dishonest" and a statement on the part of the Church that "we don't care ... where he goes, how he lives or whether he lives; we don't care whom he hurts or who hurts him?"

Sorry, but I think you're reading way too much into what laicization "says." I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Peace.
