Cirilo Flores record of covering up for predator priest.
Why is this man (Cirilo Flores) smiling?
By Gustavo Arellano
I wish I could say it is an April Fools' joke that the Orange County Hispanic Bar Association is going through with its reception for newly ordained Catholic Diocese of Orange Bishop Cirilo Flores despite him never quite getting around to denouncing or disciplining pedo-priests while serving on the diocese's clergy personnel board....I can't say I'm surprised, alas, both at the reaction of the OC HBA or that the Orange diocese's head Hispanic is so intimately connected to the pedo-priest scandal.

A Blast from Bishop Cirilo Flores Child-Abuse-Condoning Past, by Gustavo Arellano, Orange County Weekly, April 7, 2009 (bishop-accountability.org)
Turns out newly ordained Diocese of Orange Bishop Cirilo Flores has a proud past of defending and condoning child abusers--and I'm not even talking about his treatment of numerous Orange diocese pedophile priests . Nearly 30 years ago, Flores was involved in investigating a nationally notorious child-abuse case in the Diocese of San Bernardino and not only did nothing about it, he agreed with the abuse.
