WILMINGTON, Del. - The Catholic Diocese of Wilmington is asking a bankruptcy judge to allow it to continue paying retiree benefits to priests who committed sexual abuse.

After filing for Chapter 11 protection last month, the diocese told the judge it would not make any payments to priests accused of sexual abuse, even if the abuse had not been substantiated, without a court order.

And this surprises anyone because.....the church protects it's own, like politicians, congress, the police, etc.....

It's a shame this story will be buried. I think a lot of people would be more careful with their donations if they knew stuff like this went on.
