The Church has made strides over the years to purge this.

I would love to believe that this is true. Where is your proof?

I’ll give you one example ... When I moved back up to the Dallas area after 9 years in Austin, it was just following the Rudy Koss case in the Dallas Diocese. Since that day, the Diocese implemented safeguards to make sure that it didn’t happen again at least in Dallas. The safeguards implemented were noticed by the rest of the Church and, as far as I know, the entire RCC in America (if not the entire Church) adopted them.

The problem in Pennsylvania appears to have been a deep seeded network of predators. Horrible, horrible case(s). The revelation of these incidents will bring about even more changes to the ways seminarians, volunteers, etc. are vetted. Bishop Burns of Dallas is already working on further changes to the Diocese’s policies.

Well; it's kinda like docking the tail of a young Boxer puppy.

To avoid a lot of pain to the pup by whacking and leaving just a nub to begin with; a person just removes one joint at a time...
