Has the Catholic church ever removed a priest of nun for child sexual abuse without being forced to?

February 25th, 2009

Have they ever done it on their own, without getting sued first of having criminal charges filed? They've sent them to get cured, where they pray and get forgiveness, but have they ever just been removed?

There are several who claim to be Roman Catholic Priests who answer questions here.

I can't wait to hear their answers on this question.

I've been a Pastor since 1974 and I don't know of a case where the RCC removed a Priest without being forced.

If its occured its only occured in the past few years and certainly not before the huge scandal which started in Boston which we all began to hear about staring in about 2002.
