The Deacon's Bench
“Priests who engage in lewd conversations with teenagers are suspended from ministry for committing a ‘boundary violation,’ and are charged with sexual abuse.

…If the guilty party were Rev. Weiner, he would be sanctioned by the Catholic Church’s “zero tolerance” policy. But because he is Rep. Weiner, there are no penalties.
As usual, it’s not the offense that matters—it’s the status of the offender.”
— William Donohue, the Catholic League
