By this time, pedophilia was recognized as a disorder that could not be cured...---This was old news in the 1970's

Before 1994, bishops took their cue from experts in the psychiatric profession who believed pedophilia could be successfully treated.---from 1979 and beyond, I was on the clinical and research staff at Johns Hopkins Sex Disorders Clinic and it's precursor--no expert I knew of ever asserted it could be cured.

Priests guilty of sexual abuse were sent to one of several treatment facilities across the United States.--Yes, but...

Bishops often relied upon the judgments of experts in determining whether priests were fit for ministry.---None I knew of were ever recommended to return to the ministry.

That "Ad hoc Committee's" report (what you quoted)-- is erroneous and purposively misleading.

So much for your experience at Johns Hopkins Sex Disorders Clinic. Read the following:

     If you found the clergy sex abuse scandal shocking, prepare for another jolt: the Catholic bishops are getting their "expert" advice on pedophilia from people who have covered up or even defended sex between men and children.
     The bishops recently chose Dr. Paul McHugh, former chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at John Hopkins University School of Medicine, as chief behavioral scientist for their new clergy sex crimes review board. Yet Dr. McHugh once said Johns Hopkins' Sexual Disorders Clinic, which treats molesters, was justified in concealing multiple incidents of child rape and fondling to police, despite a state law requiring staffers to report them.
      "We did what we thought was appropriate," said Dr. McHugh, then director of Hopkins' Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, which oversaw the sex clinic. He agreed with his subordinate, clinic head Fred Berlin, who broke the then-new child sexual abuse law on the grounds that it might keep child molesters from seeking treatment.
      Dr. Berlin admitted he had covered for the sex criminals, angering legislators, child-advocacy groups and state officials. But his actions were not surprising, because "at least eight men have been convicted of sexually abusing Maryland children while under [Dr. Berlin´s] treatment there," according to the March 23, 1988, issue of the Capital. Despite a 1990 Government Accounting Office study that found no therapy program that stopped sex offenders, Dr. Berlin said in 1994 that psychiatry can "effectively control" sex criminals. ****

Especially, please read Dr. Berlin's statement in 1994 which said that, "psychiatry can 'effectively control' sex criminals."
