LifeTeen Founder Excommunicated

It seems like the founder of LifeTeen has finally been excommunicated. Not for abusing children, mind you, but for starting a new church-- the Praise and Worship Center in Phoenix, AZ. See the link here.

While it is good that he finally has been punished, the issue of his impropriety with children still has not been fully addressed by the Roman Church... in Rome or Arizona. When will the bishops look at the damage that they are causing by not addressing problem priests in their dioceses? When will the priests with problems stop hurting people, and others stop covering up for them?

Let us all pray that no more children are harmed.
