Yes, Jim, you're right - but life goes on anyhow.
Hold on, Jim. The Pope will go to Ireland sooner or later, and I'm sure he'll apologize.
But then what?

What's this about "making excuses"? There is no excuse, and nobody is making excuses. Yes, we do have some frightened idiot bishops who are still trying to evade the blame; but by and large the problem has been acknowledged and much has been done to make reparations. No, it isn't over yet. But it's well on its way to a conclusion. What's left is to assess the damage and go on. Yes, there will have to be compensation - but in most cases, the damage was done years ago, and no amount of compensation will heal the damage done. All we can do is go on.
