Church Justice...

...is to justice what church music is to music.

This guy was the head honcho of the camp I went to when I was about 12 years old:

BELLEVILLE -- More than 14 years after he was removed from active ministry following accusations that he sexually abused boys, Robert J. Vonnahmen, who once directed a Catholic youth camp, has been removed from the priesthood by Pope Benedict XVI.

Vonnahmen, who has denied allegations of sex abuse, was accused by victims of accosting them at Camp Ondessonk,
a popular Catholic children's summer camp in Southern Illinois, in the early 1980s.
When I went to camp there, I remember the older kids saying, "Don't go anywhere alone with Father Vonnahmen." It sounds like the pope finally got the same message.
