The Toledo Blade reports city police helped cover-up charges of rape and abuse by Catholic priests:"Beyond past revelations that the diocese quietly moved pedophile priests from parish to parish, The Blade investigation shows that at least once a decade - and often more - priests suspected of rape and molestation have been allowed by local authorities to escape the law."The investigation goes back 50 years. The sex abuse scandal has been rocking the Catholic Church in America for years. The Blade states in its investigation that the role civil authorities played in keeping it quiet has been overlooked.
Former diocese spokesman Jim Richards told the Blade that church leaders knew "who to call" to hush up allegations of abuse. (Toledo Blade)
