That’s fine. To not address the decrease in istances of abuse in the USA before it became public, and to give the opposite impression, isn’t “even handed”, though is it?
“Cardinal Ratzinger was publicly disciplining priests in Brazil and Peru for preaching that the church should work to empower the poor and oppressed, which the cardinal saw as a Marxist-inspired distortion of church doctrine.”
Is that an even handed statement?

The article further stated that the Pope hasn’t it made it a requirement to contact civil authorities when abuse is suspected.
And when left up to the bishops some didn’t even report crap to the vatican.
No wonder why things are such a mess.
