A priest raped a 7-year-old girl while visiting her in the hospital after she got her tonsils out.
Another priest made a 9-year-old boy give him oral sex, then rinsed out the boy’s mouth with holy water to purify him.
Gold crosses were provided by priests to “mark” children who were targets for abuse, letting others know who might be vulnerable.
