MIKE RAPS CHURCH’S SEX POLICY

As Edward Cardinal Egan told parishioners at St. Patrick's Cathedral his heart was crying, Mayor Bloomberg weighed into the Catholic child-abuse scandal yesterday with a blunt message: The church is not above the law.  Everybody should obey the same laws...nobody should be outside the law, Bloomberg told WABC radio.  In a case where somebody alleges that another person committed a terrible crime, particularly against children, it seems to me that's what the police are there to do, an investigation, and the courts are there to decide whether you're guilty or not.
