Dulles, who was elevated to cardinal last year and shares many of the pope's conservative philosophies on church teachings, said the scandal is an American media creation that does not rise to the level of historical church crises such as the Gregorian revolution in the 12th century or the Protestant reformation of the 16th century.Of course, in reality, Dulles is a theological "liberal," but to a journalist, the fact that he's also not a heretic makes him a "conservative," and also means he's indifferent to human suffering.
