Am I the ONLY one who read a report in my local paper years ago that the psychiatrists told the Catholic church that pedophiles could be treated and cured, and the Church believed the psychiatrists and sent their wayward priests to get treatment? Obviously, the psychiatrists years later reversed their findings and the Church took the blame.

No, I have read this before too, and repeatedly recounted it to those who wish to villify those in Church leadership for their original strategy of " treatment, retreat and reassignment".

It doesn't seem to do any good; I suspect because those who wish to denegrate the Church have, by definition, no desire to give the Church the benefit of the doubt.

Benefit of the doubt? OK, YOU hire a pedophile who's been through pschotherapy to babysit your little boys. Judge not, ya know.!
