Polanski and the priests

No, not a new revelation. Instead Mouse is making a comparison. In recent days the issue of paedophile priests has been in the news again. Ruth Gledhill discusses some of the recent developments, including the CofE's call for whistle blowers to come forward, and the comments from the Vatican that other religions had similar issues.

Elsewhere, Roman Polanski has finally been arrested after 30 years on the run from the US authorities. He admitted drugging a 13 year old girl before having sex with her, but fled the country whilst on bail. Quite astonishingly, however, he is being defended by some.

FaithWorld quite rightly make a comparison between these two things. Polanski may be a brilliant film director, but his offence is one which can have no excuse.
