The Catholic Church's sex-abuse scandal is back in the news again. A
Pennsylvania grand jury recently found that two successive bishops in a
small diocese covered up the abuse of hundreds of children by more than
50 priests over a 40 year period.
Hollywood has illuminated the problem with the academy-award winning film "Spotlight," a dramatization of how The Boston Globe spotlighted the scandal in the Archdiocese of Boston. And, closer to home, the lead story in last Sunday's Seattle Times detailed how the Archdiocese of Seattle shuttled a pedophile priest through nine unsuspecting parishes despite repeated warnings from fellow priests and psychiatrists.
