The proper course for the Catholic Church is not vitriol and circling the wagons. It is to make the people who were harmed whole, and to make sure this can’t happen anymore with humility.

I agree.

What was done was morally indefensible and to pretend otherwise only makes it worse.

The Church has apologized and it should continue to do so as needed.

Transparency is the key to insuring that this never happens again.

Not "transparency", what's needed is justice.

Why is (Boston) Cardinal Bernard Law living a life of luxury in the vatican when he was so deeply involved in so many cover-ups?!? Why was (Los Angeles) Cardinal Roger Mahoney allowed to vote at the latest conclave, after being involved with payoffs and taking steps to keep abusing priests from facing reporting and justice? (Mahoney was thrilled that Bergoglio was elected, BTW.) It goes on and on...

These situation shows the catholic church's real stance on the matter of child abuse: protect the power of its most powerful, at all costs.
