I think Gerald at the blog “Cafeteria is Closed” has some interesting data on the sexual abuse crisis, which is consistent with what was stated by earler posters that much of the abuse took place during the 1960 and 1970s when the “Spirit of Vatican II” was in its zenith.
However, ever so slowly Christ is getting his Church to sail in an “orthodox manner” as evidenced by the Papacy of JPII and now Benedict XVI. I for one am confident that the springtime that Pope JPII talked about will come about, maybe not in my life time, but it will, as it always has.
