Health Care, A Morality Tail?

Bishops assert moral duty in health care debate

Is protecting pedophiles from criminal prosecution (if the pedophile happens to be a priest) a moral duty? Or protecting pedophiles a sin they can be forgiven, so that the pedophiles can go back to molesting children again once the heat is off.

In either case, maybe we should assert our moral duty and ignore the advice from an organization that has shown such a blatant disregard for the people they claim to be concerned with.
