While the moral panic of Salem’s witches may be over, an equally
pernicious panic continues to haunt Massachusetts — that of a pedophile
priest embedded in a complicit Catholic Church determined to protect him. This narrative recently resurfaced in the Boston
suburb of Revere, where a male janitor at the Immaculate Conception
elementary school used a bathroom that had long been used by adults as
well as students — and a student saw the janitor using the urinal.
When the parent of that student complained that her child had seen the janitor in the bathroom, the hysteria began. And, although the police and Suffolk prosecutors quickly cleared the janitor of criminal wrongdoing, the Immaculate Conception School’s parish priest was removed by Cardinal Sean O’Malley, the archbishop of Boston, and the school’s principal and a second-grade teacher were forced to resign.
