The church does need to address the pedophilia issue, but it must not become paralyzed and neglect the needs of the entire church. If that happens, then millions of people will suffer.

Agreed. But the godless want to use an accusing finger about the scandals of a minority to isolate and paralyze the entire institution. That's not going to happen.

"The church does need to address the pedophilia issue," The Vatican has already defined the real issue, they quite correctly called it HOMOSEXUALITY. The cheif spokesman for the Pope also stated that the Church must find a way to ban the ordination of these perverts in the future.
"Pedophilia" was just the convenient term the anti-Catholic news media used in their daily barrage of gossip stories. Most of the victims of preistly abuse were post-pubescent boys. The media are saturated by homosexuals, and so they would not use the correct terminology to describe the scandals.
