The priest allegedly approached the boy before Mass services at the church on Sunday, Sept. 13, and asked to see him in one of the rectory rooms, according to prosecutors. ... One of the parishioners who witnessed the incident contacted Newark Archdiocese officials on Sept. 25, and the Archdiocese in turn contacted the prosecutor's office on Sept. 28.
Outside of the actions of the priest, there is so much more wrong with this story.
- waiting 12 days before contacting someone - contacting the archdiocese first instead of the police - archdiocese waiting another 3 days before contacting the police

England have now gone out of the football, cricket and rugby world cups at the group stage in the last 16 months.
Maybe they need to invent more sports. This time, ones they might be good at.

Meanwhile, England's women won the 2014 rugby World Cup and were third in the 2015 FIFA World Cup. I guess success means not having a penis?

You may think you love your team and hate your rivals, but would you point a musket at an 8-year-old in your own rectory room because he's going to root for the Cowboys against your Giants? If you said "Oh, fuck, of course not," congratulations, you are a functioning human being.
