professer is right,there are no sanctuary laws in the US,when someone runs to the church for asylum,the law authorities will usaully let him be if the crime is not grave but will arrest him as soon as he comes out,or gives up,its just a common respect for the churches,it doesnt mean they dont wait them out either,of course Davis Koresh's church in Waco is a good example that sanctuary doesnt exist here

Yes, David Koresh is probably THE example that the Sanctuary Law doesn't apply in the United States.
/and what a ghastly example THAT was
//though I wish we could repeat it every time we see a molesting priest

It would be interesting to find out. Look at Cardinal Law from Boston, when it hit the fan he was allowed to fly to Italy and hide out in the Vatican. When people called for him to be returned and take his passport, local government hemmed and hawed said it was not worth the fight.
Now I believe he has diplomatic immunity since he stepped down and works the Vatican full-time. Boston Archdiocese is the second largest landowner in the county, and yet they tied to file bankruptcy when the checks needed to be written.

A priest is just a man. So I would think that yes, he could, as much as any other man could.
