The Difference Between a Catholic "Lay" Person and a Priest

"A maintenance worker at St Anthony of Padua Elementary School (Parma, Ohio) was charged with gross sexual imposition for allegedly fondling a 9-year-old girl." This was reported in the June 2 issue of the 'Parma Sun Post' in an article titled, "School Worker Charged With Fondling Young Girl."

The suspect "is being held on $500,000 bond. He faces charges of kidnapping and gross sexual imposition." The girl was attacked May 25.

Do you have the feeling that if a PRIEST had done this – the whole episode would have been covered up by the local diocese?

Question – What's the difference between a Catholic "lay" person and a priest? Answer – A lot! The "Church" has NO problem in letting the "laity" hang out to dry for such a crime, while at the same time pulling every possible string to protect its priests guilty of the same crime!

I pray the Lord comforts the attacked girl and her family, frees them from Roman Catholicism, and gives them saving faith in Christ ALONE for the full and free forgiveness of sins – no Catholic priest needed.
