The news media in their wildest imaginations could not do the damage to the Catholic Church that it has done to it's self.

No matter what their agendas, political or religious, it was the tolerance and protection of truly evil men by the Catholic Church that made a scandal possible and inevitable.

Several times priests used the term “brother priests” but how many times do you suppose they referred to any of the victims as “my brother”? Avoiding the scandal in the newspapers was far more important than “the weightier matters of the Law, justice, mercy and faithfulness”.

“The Catholic Church has cleaned house with the Pope leading the way.”

And it only took the pain of a $2 billion to $3 billion payout to produce virtue.
