I'd like to see these guys in jail, too. But many in the media are using this scandal to condemn Catholic moral teaching, the papacy, the priesthood and just Catholicism in general. As Bozell pointed out.

Then why is the Church giving them the ammunition? If the Catholic Church had taken swift action to rid itself of these bad apples, cooperate with prosecutors and removed all cardinals and other high level clergy who were involved in this from their posts, then that would have taken all the air out of the balloon. The Church had a chance to come out of this stronger than ever, they had a golden opportunity to rid themselves of the homosexual priests who were doing them harm with minimal fallout, but they have blown it bigtime.

If someone can sue the Catholic Church for allowing homosexuals around teenage boys, can they also sue the Public School system for doing the exact same thing? Or the Boy Scouts? It doesn't excuse the Church but in a society that insists that homosexuality is a perfectly normal option, it's pretty hypocritical for the media to focus on the Church only. Look at how many courts let pedophiles live in neighborhoods where children are.
