It's not much, but it's a start:

"Protester at church yells 'Shame on you!' as Cardinal Wuerl addresses sex abuse scandal"

https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/02/us/wuerl-mass-protest/index.html



It is past, way past, time for the Catholic membership to stand up en mass and _demand_ accountability and action.

That's for sure!

It's sad there are still people who actually attend that church or donate money to it. The sexual abuse, lying about it, covering it up, silencing victims, manipulating people is so all-pervasive.

This article has links; one of them is to a list of priests and seminarians who a victim accused in ONE diocese. ONE diocese!!! There are so MANY! There's just no way their buddies didn't know about this.

Is it any wonder the Catholic Church hides documents to protect itself just like the Mormon Church does? [I can still call it "Mormon" regardless of what Nelson demands]

On another topic, the Catholic conservatives think the WHOLE sexual abuse problem is due to these men being homosexual. They're likely to start an anti-homosexual witch hunt. Even though the priests were also raping girls and nuns.

Wuerl is using Mark Sullivan for personal security, former head of US Secret Service. Sullivan was cashiered when agents engaged prostitutes in Bogota, Columbia. They had gone down to prepare security and accommodations for Pres. Obama's attendance at the Summit of the Americas.

Interesting that Sullivan lost his position because of a sex scandal, and how he's employed by a man who's involved in another one.

"Faced with outrage over an alleged sexual abuse coverup, the pope points the finger at Satan"

http://www.latimes.com/opinion/la-ol-enter-the-fray-faced-with-outrage-over-an-alleged-1536706076-htmlstory.html

"Francis acknowledged that bishops, too, are sinners, but suggested that the devil “seeks to reveal sins, which people can see, in order to scandalize the people.” "

Yea - that's not going to fly ...

The more boogeymen he tries to blame, the more people are reminded that the buck stops with him.

I think that's a good thing.
