Reply to comment by tugaim33 in Diocese of Worcester: Credible Allegations of Sexual Abuse of Minor by Priest by MassInsider

Yes, that's an accurate reading of the article. Says that he was going to be transferred because we needed to grow the certain way, and that that process was interrupted because he was accused of doing something terrible, they immediately acted. Completely agree with criticizing their past behavior, but to criticize the seams to be a misread of the situation to me

“In a statement issued on Monday, the Diocese said that it scheduled Martineau for transfer to a new parish in January due to "concerns over boundary issues with a minor."

The church knew about “boundary issues with a minor” and the solution was to transfer him to a new parish. Does that seem like a good solution to you?
