1. he should go to jail regardless...however..this is a good start.

Time to throw the book at them AND to the Catholic Church and any other Church that have been covering these crimes against the most innocent and vulnerable souls of children.
Would the world allow a pedophile ring to stay open so long after so many crimes were revealed? I think not..but because they hide behind God this covering up continues to this day.

2. It is good to see South America is making a start

I can't imagine how many kids have been preyed upon by the Priesthood in South American countries, where the Catholic Church holds such power and prestige.
