Christian GROPES Woman during Marriage Counseling..
Religion has dark history
A Catholic priest has admitted in court that he groped a woman during a marriage counseling session.
The Rev. Richard Ordonez (Or-DOHN'-yez) pleaded guilty Friday to forcible touching. He agreed to perform 500 hours of community service.
He had been accused of sex abuse, which carries a maximum prison term of 7 years.
The woman told police last year that the incident occurred in 2004. She said she came forward when she learned Ordonez, an Ecuadorean who had worked at St. Vito's Church in Mamaroneck, would be returning to the parish.
The 38-year-old Ordonez was arrested Dec. 8 at Kennedy International Airport as he was about to board a plane to Ecuador.
The New York Archdiocese withdrew Ordonez's working privileges after his arrest.

************************
Nov. 14 letter writer Doris Toohill has taken to task "poor" Maureen Dowd for telling the truth about the Catholic Church, writing: "The Catholic Church will not change its positions on these and other moral issues; it must remain true to its moral compass, or else it fails."
Hasn't she caught the news lately? The Catholic Church has already failed. Its public face rails against female priests, gay people, birth control and disease control in Africa, while privately its bishops and cardinals have, for decades, perhaps as long as a century, hidden hundreds of child-abusing priests, moving them around from parish to parish so they won't get caught, thereby enabling them to abuse even greater numbers of children.
The Catholic Church, of all institutions on earth, actively allowed, and even encouraged this child abuse, by allowing these criminal priests to continue in their criminal ways. Child abuse is the most despicable of crimes, and it has been perpetrated by one of the largest religions on earth. You can call it old news all you want, but it happened, on a massive scale, and probably is still happening.
Some "moral compass."
