Philadelphia Archdiocese - Monsignor Lynn Trial - Passion Perversion





Passion perversion allegedly hushed up

A Philadelphia jury heard Tuesday about Catholic schoolboys who said they had to strip before a priest and endure whippings as they played Christ in a Passion play.

Prosecutors pursuing a child-endangerment case against Monsignor William Lynn for allegedly helping the Roman Catholic church cover up the sexual abuse of children by priests said the Rev. Thomas J. Smith remained in ministry despite those 2002 accusations.

Church officials and an in-house review board didn’t think Smith was after sexual gratification when he allegedly had boys undress or get naked with him in a hot tub.
