%uh this is rather disturbing and perhaps not
so apropos for the fun half but
archbishop rar bird
J carlson who
was an auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul Minneapolis
I
the I guess about thirty years ago
almost to the day 1984 words
deposed recently in the case love
a shoot against the
Catholic your church a sexual us abuse lawsuit involving the archdiocese a
Saint Paul and Minneapolis and the dice
dialysate diocese love winona Minnesota
the plaintiff in this case identified as Joe one claims to have been abused in
the nineteen seventies
by the Reverend Thomas adamson at Saint Thomas Aquinas church
Catholic Church in Saint Paul Park Minnesota
the archbishop was deposed to find out what they did about it
and
I am apparently
because they found internal church memos
I well I i don't even know how to characterize this
this is what the archbishop said
about child sex abuse
in the nineteen his knowledge up child sex abuse
for understanding a bit in the nineteen 80s
not the 1880s the 1980s
archbishop um
he knows a crime for adult
to engage sex kit I'm not sure whether you
it was a crime not Anderson today it's occurred when did you first see discern
that was a crime for an adult
to engage assess for the kids I don't West first discerned
their crime-free priests to engage
as sex the kids whole
up I'll she had under his control
I don't know where that is
carried up your mind knew that the seventies don't know if I didn't
in nineteen I eighty
for you are the ship in the auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese
I'll I'll say
Hall in Minneapolis he does crime to I
I'm not sure if I didn't now apparently
he went on to say I knew it was morally wrong but I don't know that I knew that
it was a crime
its ap
you know we're talking about nineteen eighty-four
folks ike
obviously don't believe this guy Tom
ed adding that adding that he knew who is like morally
a crime like morley ron is this can even weirder kits are like
well I know society look down on it then but I didn't know there was anything
actually wrong with it
like with it's a bizarre I think it's the opposite he saying
I I didn't know that I knew there was something wrong with depression anxiety
had caught up to this yet
legally speaking unbelievable
I was out at the curb on that I am really know
I like you know as for me I was actually got a
playing yeah maybe actually I was actually thinking that maybe what I
would do is go out
and protest and say this should be
legal I didn't have chance check on weather was a legal at the time were not
so I probably know
runs really and then drive unit United another diocese after in let's do
right his moral diocese and so morally was real it is next I arise because I
was like the morally urgently do and I was like we we really need actually
organized campaign around this
