If the priest broke the law, then he should be punished accordingly. I personally don't have any problem understanding the concept that you can't judge a group by an individual -- any more then you can judge individuals by the group. To do otherwise would be to stereotype. It seems pretty obvious to me that others here have difficulty with that distinction.

The priest should be held responsible for his words and actions. If he broke any laws, then the judicial process should determine the punishment. If he were merely excercising his right of free speech, then deal with it and lets move on.
