New Orleans Cleric Indicted On Homosex Abuse
NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Archdiocese is preparing to alert parishioners about a cleric indicted on charges of sexually abusing a 10-year-old boy. The priest hasn't worked in New Orleans for decades but some say he could still have victims here. Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests held a press conference about the case Wednesday morning. Rev. Robert Poandl pleaded not guilty and is out on bond. A website for the catholic society Poandl belongs to says the allegations were made last June while he was serving in Georgia. Poandl worked in New Orleans at the Glenmary House, which no longer exists, from 1973 to 1975. Aymond says he will print the information about Pondal in all of the church's publications.Click Here For The Full Story......
