NEW DELHI - A Catholic priest charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Minnesota is working in his home diocese in India and has no plans to return to the U.S. to face the courts, he and his bishop told The Associated Press on Monday.
Church documents obtained by the AP show the Vatican was alerted to the accusations against the Rev. Joseph Palanivel Jeyapaul more than three years ago but did not respond.
The priest has received only a minor punishment and is currently working in his bishop’s office processing teacher appointments for a dozen church schools in the diocese of Ootacamund in southern India.
“We cannot simply throw out the priest, so he is just staying in the bishop’s house, and he is helping me with the appointment of teachers,” said the Most Rev. A. Almaraj, the bishop of Ootacamund. “He says he is innocent, and these are only allegations. … I don’t know what else to do.”

Well, that settles it, HE says he’s innocent.
The Vatican didn’t respond, and this was reported more than three years ago? And he has NO plans on returning to the USA? Nothing cries innocence like running away from your accusers!
The Most Rev. A. Almaraj says he doesn’t know what else to do? Well, here’s a suggestion for you Most Rev., bring him back to the USA to stand trial on those charges. Force him to stand the charges. For once in your miserable, hypocritical life, do the right thing and stand up for an the victim. Don’t hide behind the papacy and another of it’s shuck and jive moves!
Almaraj emphasized that Jeyapaul was engaged in only “paperwork, nothing to do with the children or anything.”
Oh yeah, that really instills a sense of confidence, and innocence too. He’s pushing paper because the Most Rev. A. Almaraj, and whoever else is in charge of this Catholic cover-up knows that Rev. Jeyapaul isn’t to be trusted around children.
The main group of clerical abuse victims in the United States has scheduled a news conference for Monday in St. Paul, Minnesota, to draw attention to the Jeyapaul case and demand he be suspended and returned to face justice in the United States.
The group, Survivors Network for those Abused by Priests, has been campaigning recently to draw attention to what it considers the Vatican’s complicity in cases of abusive priests being moved around dioceses to avoid criminal prosecution.
What did I post two days ago?
The RCC doesn’t condemn the perverts, they protect them! They hide them, they transfer them to other parts of the world, they deny, they lie, they do everything possible to ignore these sick bastards actions and keep them secret. And when all else fails, they use the treasure of Rome to pay off the molested in an attempt to make it all go away. SOURCE
It’s never going to change. The abuses suffered at the hands of priests and nuns has gone on for centuries. In many ways, this is akin to the hypocrisy that’s known as Islam, The Religion of Peace. Imams and clerics can do anything they like, they can declare Jihad, they can have sex with animals, they can rape children and it’s never going to stop until that yet to be found moderate Muslim of conscience steps up and makes these animals change their ways.
Where are the Catholics of conscience on this? Do you hear the hue and cry of the everyday man and woman that are members of the RCC?
NO, you do not! And you won’t, unless they have been a victim of abuse. And even then, they will be ostracized, they will be threatened with excommunicated, they will be shamed and embarrassed, while their abuser gets a transfer to fresh hunting grounds!
