For the most part, this time the bashing is well deserved.

No excuses for abuses.
I have my doubts though if this is done this time for the good of the children.
Where were the media, back in the 70's when those atrocities took place?
And, what are the true reasons why it is ALL NOW SUDDENLY brought up???

I bet you dollars to donuts that during the same period there have been more incidents of your honorable representatives in Washington screwing young interns. Where is the media on that? Can't undermine the faith in the Constitutional Republic, can we? I for one refuse to let the media communists to lead me by the nose and dictate what is deserving at any given moment to be considered a scandal. You ask a good question: why all of a sudden now? That, I think is worthy discussion more than anything else, as the anything else has been beaten to death elsewhere plenty enough. Why now? Has the Church been gaining moral authority amidst the populace lately? Has the Church of Abortion on Demand been losing the faithfull? (I dunno, I'm asking!)

You are getting to something I am increasingly worried about. These revelations are beginning to remind me of the mass hysteria of the 1980s about child care centers and the separate craziness created by the "repressed memory" syndrome. There is no doubt that abuses occurred, but the whooped-up, out-of-control emotions being generated by this story are deeply frightening. Here we go again!
