Joe, the problem is that your response allows the abusers to hide behind you. Nobody's saying everyone in the Roman Church is a child abuser, what they're saying is the Church as a whole allows child abuse free rein. Michael Neary, the Archbishop of Tuam, for example, simply pontificated about meeting leaders of the Bon Secours Order to assist with a memorial. Nothing about asking the Police to investigate, or giving the remains a decent Christian burial or anything. They never counted in life, so why in death? is obviously his motto.
