Bingo, 100% No tolerance policy is the only thing that will save the Church IMHO is a policy such as this being implemented. FWIW I have run in a ton of Evangelicals here in MI that gravitate to the mega-churches all what many would call Lapsed Catholics, and I have no empirical data but my hunch is this "issue" going back to when it surfaced with what happened in Boston, might have been a catalyst for them leaving. It is something that Rome really needs to consider....
Agree.
I was raised catholic and became an Evangelical when I was about 18,I see why people leave.
Frankly, thinking people should be running from the catholic church without even getting into the doctrinal issues. The absolute failure to protect children without exception is unforgivable.
