Well now you're beginning to make me question my blind faith in the mainstream media's vigilance in covering all relevant aspects of a given story!

OK, you can stop laughing now. Seriously, though, that is a very interesting underreported aspect of this whole mess. But I do want to ask one other thing. Suppose these crimes were to have been committed in the 1930's (assuming that there would have been priests back then who'd be given to such behavior, which I'll admit seems a bit of a stretch). What would have been the reaction of the church authorities then? Would the incidents even have been reported? Would they even have taken seriously someone who dared accuse a priest of having molested him?
