Justice Department investigating possible criminal abuse by Catholic priests
in Delaware
Acknowledgment of the Delaware inquiry comes two weeks after the federal Justice Department said it had launched an investigation into alleged sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests throughout Pennsylvania dioceses after a damning report by a state grand jury, USA Today reported.
The action by the federal government, which has rarely pursued such inquiries, comes after a Pennsylvania grand jury in August concluded that church leaders protected more than 300 "predator priests" in six dioceses across the state for decades.
The report went on to assert that church leaders were more interested in safeguarding the church and the priests than defending victims.
More than 1,000 young victims were identifiable from the church's records, the report found. The federal investigation is based in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Philadelphia, according to USA Today.
Three priests named in April in the Pennsylvania grand jury sex abuse report have ties to Delaware.

I predict this will keep occurring until the DOJ has toured every state and protectorate in this nation.
Unprecedented!
Historic!
Shameful…
