The Catholic Church has tolerated and excused this behavior for decades. Is it your contention that the news media [who are a long way from being my favorite people] should ignore this matter --- as many apologists in the Catholic Church appear to be doing?

The news media has gone beyond reporting this story to where they are judging the Catholic Church itself. Since when does the Clinton-loving whore media have the right to do that?

I don't think anybody's saying that the media should ignore this problem; however, demonizing the Church on the basis of a few individuals is like demonizing the entire federal government for what happened at Waco. It's a disconnect. And when you consider the agenda of the gay, left-wing socialists in the media who would like nothing more than a dissolution of organized religion and all opposition to their hedonism, you can make the case that the media is deliberately exaggerating the problem to score points with the addle-brained readers.
