Clerical abuse of children has to be addressed

Arrest of priest shows everyone has to answer for their behavior no matter what station they hold in life.  The arrest of a Filipino Catholic priest accused of trafficking a 13-year-old minor is highly unusual. He has been charged with violating the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of the Philippines. 
Most cases of alleged clerical child abuse go unreported or are covered up in the Philippines. In other countries, the scandal of clerical child abuse has left thousands of child victims without redress, help, therapy, or a chance for justice.
