California — The Los Angeles Times is rightfully concentrating on
LA-area victims in its
coverage of the LA Archdiocese's record-breaking Catholic Church sex-abuse
settlement. What's not being covered, however, is the Orange County
connection. Named in the settlement are 14
priests whom the Diocese of Orange doesn't list as local predators
since they sinned while Orange County was part of the LA Archdiocese (the
OC Diocese wasn't founded until 1976). And the Diocese of Orange roll
call also doesn't include other
priests who did the majority of their fondling in Los Angeles but
were exiled to our parts as punishment. And, of course, no story on the
LA-OC diocesan connections would be complete without mentioning the
trade involving each area's most notorious pedophiles. Click and enjoy!
