Pa. church official wants new judge, alleges bias

I am in favor of the idea that Sarmina be supplanted by another judge. Her imprudence and partiality to the Catholic clergy disqualifies her to be an arbiter. She has to step down. She doesn't deserve to be part of court litigation.

While the Catholic Church may have lost her moral credibility to people across cultures, members of the hierarchy, however, have been trying their best to implement zero tolerance amongst those clergymen who may be involved in any kind or form of pedophilia. Let us keep praying for them -- for their purification and fidelity to their vows. They are also humans. Let us strengthen our family values as they are key points to the continuous growth of our faith communities. I still believe that if families are weak, priesthood is also weak.

Judge states the obvious, child molester/raper gets mad and wants judge to step down? Wow.

Let’s see, it happened in Florida, New York, California, Texas, Boston, Italy, etc. Yea I think it’s safe to say its widespread.

Maybe they thought she said (open) wide (and) spread...........

Yes, the Catholic Church wants a Catholic, pro-pedophile on the bench so Monsignor Kiddie Diddler won't face punishment for this WIDE SPREAD crisis.

It would help if the Vatican sent out a memo to all the Priests that the secret of God is not that he likes to have sex with children. I don't know why they think this, but it's not gonna stop until someone informs them that God doesn't have a secret and he doesn't sleep with babies.

Of course they want the judge to step down. They want anyone who can see through them to step down, step aside, and shut up. Ridiculous.

This is like a murderer wanting a new judge because the judge condemned murder.

Uhh, it is widespread. That is why you are having a multinational conference in Rome now!

Sarmina should step down is prejudice. A judge is suppose to be partial to gave true just ful decisions! Ask Cee Cee she is widespread garbage, sick, no life so she should know!

If "Dodge-the-Ball" was an Olympic sport the RCC would be a force to be reckoned with. They play word games and use every trick they can to avoid facing the terrible mess they have created. I believe in and support religious freedom, but the RCC abuses religious freedom. They need to be reined in - I support Obama's mandate to call on and demand that the RCC participates in Religious Freedom for ALL as provided in the First Amendment.

This is what the CHurch of Rome get for allowing Male Homosexuals into the preisthood

Whether it's true or not. She shouldn't let her emotions get the best of her. She should only deal with the facts on hand.

He said, "widespread", of course it's widespread, the catholic church is the larges pedophile ring on the planet.

I think the Judge should step down..... not that she is "wrong" in her statement but so that the loop holes are closed and those "guilty" can't cry "foul".

When will they start going after Public School Districts...oops no money there forget it

Where exactly do they think they can find a judge who hasn't heard of sexual abuse in the catholic church?

I want to know about the American Bishop that was due to testify at a trial for or against a church problem, and suddenly he died "one day" B4 he could say his peace....Who murdered him? Why is this not big news? I want to know more!!!
