Alas, the scandals, particularly those involving pedophile homosexual priests, are far from over. Many of those who caused them are gone. Many more are not. This bishop, among many others, made an obscene choice, protecting those who harmed children because they deemed it is a forgivable sin, but choosing not to remove those who sinned from the occasion and from the priesthood itself in a truly stupid attempt to avoid what they perceived as "scandal."
Not a new problem. His salvation: personal and assured. The damage done to the church: quite possibly irreparable for several generations, especially since no effective and public remedial steps are actually underway!

Fortunately, those who are gone are far more than those who are not gone. The sexual abuse cases were, with exceptions, from the 1950s through the 1980s, even though they were only REPORTED in the last 15 -20 years. (By the 1990s, the rate of sexual abuse had declined more than 95%. The cases may have predated the 1950s considerably, and it may only be because the perps from the 1940s were gone by the 1990s that we don’t know of them: the largest number of those killed by the Spanish Inquisition were not heretics as we think of the word today, but were priests who like boys.)
