If just one reform can come from this, it should be that there will be no minor altar servers, male or female.

The coverup in Bridgeport, by Egan and his predecessor:

abuse by priests

A priest orders a 7 year old girl to strip naked and beats her about the buttocks.

Another priest bites and injures the penis of a teen altar server during oral copulation

A priest molests an eight-year-old altar server behind the church

More and more, each incident more grotesque than the next.....

There are any number of responses I could give you at this point. Councils are no more infallible than beans. The Church has demonstrated countless times it's propensity for error. And it's not like this stuff *just* started happening. The obvious solution to their problems would be to abandon their dabblings in philosophy, get back to scripture, raise up ministers that are actually saved and actually act like it, and move on from there. That, however, is asking the impossible I'm sure.
