A new scandal is hitting the Catholic Church — this time in Toledo Ohio. The Toledo Blade is reporting that police in the city helped the local Catholic Diocese cover up sex abuse allegations for several decades, by refusing to investigate or arrest priests suspected of molesting children. The paper based its report on interviews with former officers and a review of court and diocese records. One former police chief reportedly had an unwritten rule that priests could not be arrested.
