Failure to report sex abuse in Chicago archdiocese described -- chicagotribune.com

The above is a perfect example why obedience to the laws made up by the hierarchy of the Church is not always a good thing.
The Gospels and what Jesus said should always come before Church law.
""Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe (in me) to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea."
