I think reporters are loath to run stories headlined "Experience of Church with Homosexual Priests Confirms Boy Scout Fears" even though that appears to be the real story, as the bulk of these cases involve homosexual overtures to post-pubescent boys.
Considering that many newspaper editors support the homosexual agenda and, to put it mildly, dislike religion and the Catholic Church in particular, they will probably never print an accurate headline or article.
But just as liberals have misread what these cases are about, so too have they misread the tea leaves about the future. The outcome of these scandals will be not a more liberal Church, but a more conservative one. It was, after all, liberal moral laxity that got the Church into this mess; and the Church, if not liberal columnists, understands that more liberalism is not going to get the Church out of it. The Church will find its sources of moral renewal where it has always found them, in fidelity to Church teaching, not in liberal compromise with the world.
I certainly hope so. It was the Church's moral wisdom that brought me back.
