Police seize misconduct records from Michigan's Catholic dioceses

Police seized clergy misconduct records from all of Michigan's Catholic dioceses after serving several search warrants across the state within an hour of each other Wednesday morning.

Diocesan officials in Lansing, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Saginaw, Marquette, Kalamazoo and Gaylord confirmed the searches took place Wednesday as part of the Attorney General's Office investigation into the dioceses' handling of clergy sexual abuse of minors. The dioceses said they cooperated fully with authorities.

Attorney General Bill Schuette in August began an investigation into all allegations of sexual abuse and assault by Catholic diocesan and religious order priests as well as any attempts to cover up those actions dating back to the 1950s in Michigan.

Over 2,300 people have been arrested and it looks like they are still doing their investigation.

Wait. 2,300. TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED predator priests in Michigan alone?

I knew the situation in Roman Catholicism had hit rock bottom with estimates of gay clergy ranging up to 54% from Catholic sources, but 2300 in one state scarcely seems believable.
