"The direct blame for these crimes, both the molestation/abuse and the coverups, rests on those who actually committed these crimes"

So, what is the RC church organization (lets not confuse it more by adding the current RC faithful, former RCs, all Christians and the world community in the dimension) doing to honourably agressively and honestly ferret those people out...those who committed and covered up the molestation and abuse (some that recent cases show recently, and possibly still exists) ..and some folks who are likely still residing within the RC structure...maybe it the higher structures?

"For the most part, the sexual and physical abuse problem is over. The vast majority of the crimes happened years ago. Certainly, it's probable that some crimes of abuse and molestation are still taking place, but society has changed and the Catholic Church no longer holds the position of unquestioned authority that it once held. If we dwell too much on the past and focus mostly on extracting reparations for the crimes of those who are now dead or senile, we miss the opportunity to learn what it will take to prevent such crimes from happening in the future".

Joe, you just don't get it! I suggest you read up on the broad and long-term impacts of sexual abuse, if not treated. Problems caused by sexual abuse do not go away with time, and if untreated negatively impact those abused, their families society and their children. Where is the compassion and reaching out to heal and provide professional help for those abused. Where have the RC church organization agressively reached out, sought and opened its arms and hearts to those who were abused under it's holy Christian roofs?
