Well, Ed, there is one good thing that has come out of this sex scandal:
Catholics are now quicker to question authority. They've come to understand that bishops sometimes lie, and that priests sometimes commit horrible crimes. The illusion* of infallibility in the Catholic Church has died.
But Catholics have also come to realize that most of their very human bishops and priests, are pretty good people - but not perfect.
Those are good things.

Now, if only you could come to an understanding....

*the doctrine of infallibility is very limited, and applies only to very few matters
