WHY HAVE PRIESTS NOT BLOWN THE WHISTLE ON THE INTERNAL SCANDAL ?
This is why.
Nesbella insists that he won't back down.
"Homosexuality within the Church is being covered up," he said. "We gave the bishops the chance to clean it up, and we're disappointed. They are merely continuing to cover it up. Our only choice is the secular court."
The Church's national program, Protecting God's Children, is not working, Nesbella said.
"It focuses on lay people, but remember, it is a priest sex-abuse scandal, not a volunteer scandal," he said.
"Nothing is being done to address the main problem, which is homosexuality in the priesthood.
"But I've learned that the sacred cow is homosexuality. You do not speak out against it," he said.
"In this diocese, I've been harassed and threatened for discussing this problem."
