Next time, Idaho Catholic Bishop Michael Driscoll says, he'll be more decisive.
He learned the lesson after not moving quickly to remove a Boise parish deacon who had viewed child pornography.
"If I were to find out today that somebody was doing that, then I would immediately put that person on administrative leave," Driscoll said.
Driscoll, leader of Idaho's 140,000 Catholics, talked publicly for the first time Tuesday since news emerged last month about the deacon case and his role in protecting abusive priests in southern California 25 years ago.
