**  This is a hellish question since the book of Matthew is not clear
about whether one should forgive 489-times or 490-times, so the safest
course of action for a pedophile-priest is to play it safe and not mess-up
the lives of more than 489 children.  However, this is apparently not a
problem since no pedophile-priest has so far lived long enough to come
even within a hundred children of the 489 mark.   (Fr. James A. Porter
apparently holds the record at c. 250)
