A "non-offender" in these files is any mealy-mouthed, timid, church nerd automaton who knew what was happening but failed to act in a proper, secular manner. These drones would never rat out the church and are just as dangerous as the pedophiles.And if any of you catholic apologists here thinks everyone in your church is clean from this scandal, you are mistaken. They knew, just like like you'd know if this shit was happening at your place of employment or in your family.

"Boucher represents many of the plaintiffs who sued the Archdiocese. He's reviewed 69 of the 149 files on priests that the church kept - and he called the documents "explosive." He said he wants the files to become public because they will reveal the names of the accused priests he said could be in contact with children today.
