Title
"Pedophile Priests" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on the cover up of cases of pedophiles and sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. AuCoin states how some priests accused of abuse were transferred to other parishes when their crimes were discovered, rather than being prosecuted or dismissed. AuCoin condemns Bishop Bernard Law of Boston, who defended this practice by comparing it to the moving around of alcoholic priests. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired around 2002.
