An alleged 27-year-old sex crime haunts the dreams of Catholic Priest Salvatore Rodina. Did he, or didn’t he? We will have to wait to see. It does not look good so far.
In a statement to CBS 6, Bishop of Albany Howard J. Hubbard said, "On the recommendation of the Review Board's investigation, I have determined there are reasonable grounds to believe this allegation and have placed Father Rodino on Administrative leave. Father Rodino denies inappropriate contact with any youth.”
His parishioners think he is innocent. I know I will piss a few of them off by saying I’ve heard that story before. At the rate we are going, there will not be any more working priest over the age of 55.
Father Salvatore Rodino works out of St. Jude the Apostle in Wynantskill, NY.

They NEVER "think" their priest/minister/youth pastor is guilty. Hell, even Hagert had followers who refused to believe he was using a male prostitue, even after he admitted it. Then when he told them he'd been "cured," of his homosexuality some believed that too.
Two reasons:
1- because they are indoctrinated at an early age to view their shamen as god's messengers, and god wouldn't have a perv for an emmissary.
2- because the term "think" is antithetical to who and what they are-- they are trained not to think independently, instead to respond with their "flock" mentality

all this of course will not make a man guilty. But the question.. Why, why was it allowed, why would a grown man do this ... Why ?
