How can they get away with it?
That's the natural, frustrated reaction to the scathing, Philadelphia grand jury report released last week on decades of sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests.
Despite findings that dozens of clergy committed hundreds of sexual assaults against children - attacks that church leaders later covered up - the grand jury and Philadelphia District Attorney Lynne M. Abraham concluded that no one can be brought to justice.
Statute limits and gaps in state law preclude any charges against the clergy or their superiors, the grand jury said.
If only the abusive priests and Archdiocese of Philadelphia officials had parked illegally.
How's that?
Well, the Philadelphia Parking Authority is on a drive to collect more than $8 million in unpaid parking tickets.
