According to this article, http://www.theheraldng.com/conclave-2013-sex-abuse-victims-finger-12-cardinals-vying-for-pope/, it states among the twelve is Sean O'Malley of Boston and states, " Cardinal Sean O’Malley, Boston

In 2008, a national church panel found that, for the second year in a row, O’Malley was violating the US bishops’ child sex abuse prevention policy.

According to other church officials, O’Malley was refusing to train all kids in his archdiocese how to avoid or stop being victimized. O’Malley also failed to discipline a single individual on his staff for this violation. In 2006, in a case with disturbing parallels to many earlier Boston pedophile priest cases, O’Malley moved very slowly in the case of a prominent Catholic hospital official who faces multiple allegations of sexually harassing employees. Under O’Malley’s watch, the archdiocesan abuse policy was revised, eliminating a provision that required the immediate removal of accused priests, and severely limited survivors’ access to archdiocesan files about their cases.

Also, under O’Malley’s leadership, the archdiocese “cleared” a very high percentage of accused priests (45%, whereas most diocese have a 10% clearance rate), and has also failed to rule on at least 15 cases. O’Malley was one of the last US bishops to post the names of proven, admitted and credibly accused child molesting clerics on his website, and when he did, he disingenuously left off roughly one third of the priests – those who worked for religious orders." It should also be noted that it is under Sean O'Malley that Catholic Charities has Stopped providing Adoptions in MA due to the SSM ruling from 10 yrs ago, so they want a pope who would prevent anyone from adopting solely because 2 men or 2 women can Legally Marry in MA?? and so the children continue to suffer under Roman Rule!!!!!!
