“Louisiana State Police carried out a sweeping search warrant last week at the Archdiocese of New Orleans, seeking a long-secreted cache of church records and communications between local church leaders and the Vatican about the church’s handling of clergy sexual abuse.”
The message from the Vatican: Keep clergy sexual abuse files in the “secret archives.” “The pontifical secret” was invoked for decades to resist criminal subpoenas. How convenient that nothing issued from Mt. Sinai about raping kids.
