This should be the number one issue on the table at the RCC bishops' Dallas meeting. It is not. Expect a whitewash, continued coverups, and an accelerated auto-destruction of the Church in America (barring Divine Intervention)

When Catholic's stop WORSHIPPING their clergy, then maybe there will be a change. I have seen no posts that touch on this: the worship of the clergy. That is the difference between Protestants and Catholics. The Catholic clergy historically has had a profound influence and HOLD on their parishoners. 20/20 tonight had a woman who was repeatedly raped by her priest as a child. The priest told the parents that he was going to the girl's bedroom to "pray" with her. HELLO?????
Flame away........but for heaven sakes........no MAN would ever be allowed to enter my child's bedroom! NO MAN.

This should be the number one issue on the table at the RCC bishops' Dallas meeting. It is not. Fox News has been trying. Yesterday, it came up on each break to the religion reporter covering Dallas. And on Britt Hume, the panel discussion was on this, and all agreed that it is the homosexuality that is the basic problem.
I don't know if any other networks are covering it this way, because I don't consult them. But there are supposed to be 750 reporters covering Dallas (600 from the U.S. I read in another source). Surely all those hungry, ambitious reporters will have to find something to report. (I wonder if the supermarket rags are covering it?)
Does anyone remember which are the European papers that aren't afraid to expose scandal -- those, e.g., that were covering the Clinton scandals more thoroughly than the American press? I don't, but they might be useful.
