Father Joseph Jeyapaul is a priest from India who admitted to raping two adolescent girls in Minnesota when he served the Crookston diocese from 2004 to 2005.
After being charged with the abuse, which included rape and forcing at least one of the girls to perform fellatio on him, he fled home to India, where he was eventually arrested on an Interpol warrant. He was then extradited back to Minnesota, where he admitted his heinous crimes and entered a plea bargain in which, in exchange for a lighter sentence, he copped to molestation of one of the girls.
Jeyapaul was suspended from the priesthood and served a year and a day in prison in Minnesota, then was deported back to India after his release last July. The Minnesota diocese where he worked also settled a civil lawsuit with the victims in which one accused him of systematic abuse in the confessional of the Blessed Sacrament Church in Greenbush, Minnesota, where he would then tell the girl it was her fault, that she had made him impure.
How much more proof would one need that the man cannot be trusted with minors?
Apparently, Jeyapauls rap sheet is not enough to kick him out of the priesthood for good. In February, the Vatican approved lifting his suspension from the priesthood and agreed that he could be reassigned to a new parish in India. That parish even made him the diocesan head of its commission for education.

(13,029 posts)Will be here to defend this any time now..what is it that THEY don't get about predator rapist priests and their enablers?
So what will it be this time? The trite old accusations of "bigotry" or "irrational" hatred of the rcc? Or just the standard alert trolling, hoping that a dishonest alert will get a 4-3 hide of someone pointing out how despicable this, (and anyone who defends it) is?
Go for it.

(7,753 posts)It's very rational.
And in fact it's not a "hatred". Hate is a strong emotion that must be parcelled out carefully. I wouldn't waste it on the RCC. "Despite" is a much more accurate term.

(13,029 posts)have to pretend that it's "irrational", though. If they didn't make themselves believe that, their whole catholic-based world would come crashing down.

Not rape.
I think that is an accurate account of your views.
Nobody on WallStreet acted criminally before the crash, cause no prosicutilons.
No Bush official committed war crimes or actually ordered torture, no prosicutilons.
All are innocent to be"accurate".

Using legal definitions of innocence to claim it's scientific is laughable.
Keep digging in your obfuscation trench.
