Dutch priest served on board of pedophile club

Wow...talk about not even trying to hide it.

AMSTERDAM — The head of a Catholic religious order in the Netherlands has confirmed one of his subordinate priests served on the board of an organization that promotes pedophilia.

Herman Spronck, head of the Dutch arm of the Salesian order, said in a statement Friday the priest served on the board of the “Martijn” organization, which is widely reviled but not illegal.

'widly reviled but not illegal'...I like that turn of phrase.

“Society thinks these relationships are harmful. I disagree,” RTL quoted Van B. as saying. He served on Martijn’s board from 2008 until 2010, when the organization’s founder was arrested for alleged possession of child pornography. That case is ongoing.

RTL quoted Spronck as saying that “formally I always say that everyone must obey the law. But these relationships do not necessarily have to be damaging.”

Now that's an interesting theory for a 'Man of God' to endorse.

"Catholic Priest Also Member of Other Pedophile Club" might be a better headline.
