I just have to state that these are just two priests that broke the law, but most are honest, humble, and decent. There are two priests in my extended family and they are respected, hardworking, decent, well loved priests. One christened two of my babies and the other one christened the third.
However, a criminal is a criminal and should be treated as such regardless of who they are, IMO. We have a prison not far from here that is the second largest in the state where priests, LE officers, correctional officers, and pedophiles are housed in a unit separate from the population for security reasons. They do really hard time but they brought it on themselves.
These two priests knew it was wrong for them to do what they did and I have no sympathy for them. Regardless of all the good they did in the past, they are still criminals. I believe they should go to prison just as any other common criminal.
