BOSTON (CBS) – It wasn’t all cheering on Rick Santorum’s first full day back in New Hampshire. The candidate got into a testy exchange with students over gay marriage.
And then there was his conversation with WBZ political analyst Jon Keller. Santorum took exception to a question Jon asked him about his views on the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal, which broke wide open ten years ago this week. It was the capper to a day that reminded Santorum, if he needed reminding, that he isn’t in Iowa anymore.
The Catholic sex abuse cases are a series of convictions, trials and ongoing investigations into allegations of sex crimes committed by Catholic priests and members of religious orders.[1] These cases began receiving public attention beginning in the mid-1980s.[2] There have been criminal prosecutions of the abusers and civil lawsuits against the church's dioceses and parishes.
