Paul Shanley, the central figure (or one who should be the central figure) in the "Scandals", was defrocked along with Ronald Paquin.

"Once known for his street ministry to gay and troubled youth, Shanley became a focal point of the clergy sex abuse scandal after plaintiffs' attorneys forced the church to release internal church records showing complaints about Shanley.
Among the records were documents indicating that Shanley had attended a forum with other people who later went on to form the North American Man-Boy Love Association. "


Bettnet points out that "Sister" Jeannine Gramick is a friend of Shanley and links to the article that quotes this dissident as saying:

"But Sister Jeanine Gramick, a Shanley friend and Washington-area nun renown for her ministry to gays and lesbians, called the removal process `grossly unfair'.''

It amazes me that Shanley continues to have supporters, some of whom even bailed him out of jail. I hope people will come to realize that those who supported Shanley, Weakland, etc... are part of the problem in the Church.
