Why did Pope hesitate to act on convicted molester?
Stephen Kiesle, a former priest and a convicted sex offender was accused of molesting children while studying to be a priest in the 1970s. He pleaded no contest to some of those charges, but also said he no longer wanted to be a priest. His bishop at the time agreed - Kiesle should not be associated with the Catholic Church.
