He is culpable to history and not this glowing PR piece that is acting as an article. 
>Abundant information was found, though, in a personnel file on the Rev. Paul R. Shanley, disclosed by a plaintiff’s lawyer. It said Cardinal Law and his predecessor, Cardinal Humberto Medeiros, knew of dozens of pedophilia accusations against Father Shanley but allowed his continued contacts with children.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.67.187.150 (talk) 17:48, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The cover up continues even on Wikipedia.  This very evil man sent me a letter when I was 12 in 1972.  In it he explained why I also was being excommunicated along side my mother.  In the letter he explained why seducing his three holy priests made ME the evil person.  That's right, he actually said that it was I who seduced his three innocent holy priests-at Ten and eleven years old!   He also went on to explain that my excommunication meant that my soul was damned to hell for eternity with no possibility for redemption.  Very similar to the wording in the letter Cushing sent to my mother two years earlier just before he died.  I am but one of many and I was raped by three in that diocese.  Shanley is but one of HUNDREDS of predator priests in just that one diocese since the 1960's. Shanley is but the scratch on the surface.   In the last century the majority of law enforcement officials in the greater Boston area have been Roman Catholic well devout to the church and highly reluctant to accept police reports against priests. which is part of why the cover up was so successful. They refused to take my father's complaint about two priests in that first parish in 1970.  My family had to move out of the diocese to avoid constant police harassment. I did not write this to be a soap box but to offer one anecdote concerning this subject and why the section on priest abuse should be expanded to the point where it forms the majority of the article.  The most significant aspect of Medeiros's priesthood was his personal covering up of not a few but hundreds if not thousands of sexual abuse cases in just the Boston arch diocese alone.  This subject needs a lot more coverage and this article needs to be rewritten so as not to read like a Catholic apologist wrote the article.  At the very least this article is not balanced.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.190.183.221 (talk) 09:51, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
