Question about the latest Pope scandal.
Advertisements [?]
Priest Kiesle tied up two boys and "molested" them. The Pope delayed defrocking him. It's the case with the letter with Ratzie's signature you see all over today and yesterday.

It says Kiesle was arrested in 1978 and plead guilty to lewd conduct for the incident. He was place on probation. The stink is that Ratie delayed things. What I don't get is how is "molesting" a boy you have tied up misdemeanor "lewd conduct"? Did the prosecutor's go easy on him too? Was that prevalent too? Is that a scandal or was the incident really that minor? Something that started out innocent then the priest exposed himself or something. Molestation doesn't really get reduced to lewd conduct very often.

Anyone know?
