In a long overdue move, (almost twenty years) The Archdiocese of Chicago has seen fit to accept the resignation of Fr. William Lupo, a fellow who has sexually molested eight, possibly more, young women. (er, make that allegedly, as I only know one of them, yet I was present to hear Archdiocesean representative Steve Sidlowski say there were "Several, at least seven other complaints pending against him.") In spite of the increasing number of charges against Fr. Lupo, he has until this week maintained his position as Pastor of St. Peter Damien parish in Bartlett, Illinois.

To their (almost) credit, the Archdiocese,at some time in the last ten years, told someone at the parish that Fr. Lupo had been sexually inappropriate with "at least two" young women. I say cut them off at the wallet. It's the only thing to which they pay attention.

It is almost like justice.
