"Cardinal Levada in his interview failed to mention that he himself (according to an Associated Press report published today) "did nothing to restrict a California priest after learning in 1995 that the priest had molested a 13 year old boy a decade earlier" . Levada admitted this in a 2005 deposition. The priest was finally removed from ministry in 2002 when the USCCB ennacted the zero-tolerance policy. A Vatican lawyer defended Levada's inaction as being appropriate "under the standards of the time" before 2002. "
