Priest Sex-Abuse Case Hits Church of Pope's Adviser

(GENOA) — The latest sex-abuse case to rock the Catholic Church is unfolding in the archdiocese of an influential Italian Cardinal who has been working with Pope Benedict XVI on reforms to respond to prior scandals of pedophile priests.

Father Riccardo Seppia, a 51-year-old parish priest in the village of Sastri Ponente, near Genoa, was arrested last Friday, May 13, on pedophilia and drug charges. Investigators say that in tapped mobile-phone conversations, Seppia asked a Moroccan drug dealer to arrange sexual encounters with young and vulnerable boys. "I do not want 16-year-old boys but younger. Fourteen-year-olds are O.K. Look for needy boys who have family issues," he allegedly said. Genoa Archbishop Angelo Bagnasco, who is the head of the Italian Bishops Conference, had been working with Benedict to establish a tough new worldwide policy, released this week, on how bishops should handle accusations of priestly sex abuse.

According to investigators, Seppia told a friend — a former seminarian and barman who is currently under investigation — that the town's malls were the best places to entice minors. In tapped phone conversations the two cursed and swore against God. The priest is charged with having attempted to kiss and touch an underage altar boy and of having exchanged cocaine for sexual intercourse with boys over 18.

Yes. An "influential Italian Cardinal who has been working with Pope Benedict XVI on reforms to respond to prior scandals of pedophile priests" (that's the Pope's pedophilia adviser part) "was arrested last Friday, May 13, on pedophilia and drug charges" (that's the arrested for pedophilia part).

I thought it was one and the same too until I re-read. The priest in question is located in the arch-diocese served by the cardinal working on the pedophilia thing.

Good godthe catholic church needs to allow priests to get married again. This shit is beyond ridiculous.

I thought it was a poorly worded article. They started by talking about the Cardinal and what he was doing to "fight" the problem, but then the article jumped to the priest just before going BACK to the Cardinal.

At least he wasn't a cannibal priest!

The Pope's pedophilia adviser will get caught eventually.
