Perhaps the Roman Catholic Church finally is living up to its own teachings by protecting children from predator priests. Events last week may be evidence of that.
Pope Francis met with a group of U.S. bishops to discuss the situation. And the church revealed it is investigating just-retired Bishop Michael J. Bransfield of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston — though he is accused of sexual harassment of adults, not sexual assault of children.
Each and every priest guilty of harming children or, for that matter, adults, should be punished. So should any church official who aided and abetted them.
