IMO, the "registration" or notification of "paedophile" (studies have shown that this scandal was mostly homosexual priests 'preying' on teenage boys) priests has been occurring since 2002. Since the scandal unfolded, particularly in the U.S., the practice of "hiding" or "reassigning" priests has been thrown out the window. Civil authorities are notified immediately. The Bishops have been made painfully aware that old practices are wrong.

Here's a link which describes current practices: Reporting abuse to civil authorities.

Again, IMO, the "Swiss president calling for a 'register'" is something they already have. There's no secret lists anymore. This is merely a part of the coordinated media attack on the Catholic Church. It's like clockwork each year - "hey, it's Holy Week, let's bash the Church".

You could very well be right. It’s sad if true.
