No offense taken; my fault for not being clear:
What I should have said is that the huge media attention given at this particular time for something that quite obviously has gone on for a long time could well be intended to stimulate a governmental response.
It would certainly appear to be motivated by an "anti-religious" attitude.
If this has indeed been "going on for a long time" and the Catholic church has done nothing to combat it, then perhaps the Catholic church is deserving in everything it gets... Let's not forget about the innocent kids that have had their lives destroyed by these animals. And, yes, I realize that "the Church" is not directly responsible for these crimes, but can they really be seperated? Just my opinion.
