Newly discovered South Dakota letters damn Holy Roman Kiddie Diddlers

Charlie Chaput was bishop of Rapid City in 1994: a date mentioned in sexually graphic materials that have emerged in a lawsuit brought by Native plaintiffs. One letter to a "diocese official" was read today during Dakota Midday on Bill Janklow's idea of public radio.

Karl Gehrke recently interviewed the head of the Sioux Falls chapter of the Church of the Holy Roman Kiddie Diddlers during the Dakota Midday segment on Bill Janklow's idea of public radio.

Topics of discussion included the implications of a pope tied to the military dictators who orchestrated Argentina's Dirty War and church abuses on South Dakota's reservations.
Pope Benedict XVI appointed Paul J. Swain as the eighth bishop of Sioux Falls on August 31, 2006 and he was consecrated as Bishop of Sioux Falls on October 26, 2006. Bishop Swain previously served as a member of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee for the Protection of Children and Young People.--bio, Catholic Diocese of Sioux Falls.
Protection of children and young people, my sore ass.

Now, comes this from Charles Michael Ray:
A set of letters recently filed in a court case against the Catholic Church detail allegations of sexual abuse against Native American children at the Saint Francis Mission on the Rosebud Reservation in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The plaintiffs in the case consider these documents a kind of smoking gun. They say the letters that are written by clergy at the mission prove that church officials knew of continual sexual abuse at the boarding school. The letters also show the alleged abusers were not removed or reported to proper authorities.
Concurrent with crimes being committed in South Dakota and other states, the Vatican was dismissing atrocities perpetrated by autocrats in Latin America.
