Lawyer who foretold church scandals writes his story

[songfourone]

Ray Mouton was a successful young lawyer in Lafayette, Louisiana, respected in the community and blessed with a loving family, when he received a call from a vicar in the Roman Catholic diocese for a lunch meeting on a fateful day in 1984.

What followed over the next few years was the uncovering of an institution riddled with pedophile priests on a national scale and efforts at high levels in the Catholic Church to hide the problem away.

Remember, if you don't like rapists and pedophiles being sheltered from the law, you must be "anti-catholic." That's the first line of defense here.

"The diocese asked him to defend an errant priest, accused of abusing dozens of children in a rural community. Mouton reluctantly agreed to take on the task."

Errant Priest? A rapist isn't Errant. A rapist is predator.



"They put the reputation of the church above the value of the little children. They did all they could to avoid scandal."

And the catholic church continues to protect its reputation and Rapist Priest.
