Wow!  What a great, fact filler response to the really silly denials, and outright lies that any thinking person would see in the first para.  I felt insulted by the cardinals statements.  He should be fired for going against the the Pope's decision.  I see clearly that the cardinal-of-the-flowing-red-robes did not like that mere humans we added to the commission and one of them was a woman who had been there, as it were.  I get truly ticked when I hear any of the clergy belittle the scope of sexual abuse within the church and the lack of punishment of the bishops and above.  There is no way that JP II and BXIV did not know what was happening.  If they didn't, they should have.  JP II was a bit of a micro manager.  When he wasn't making saints, he was writing, in minutia, about every phase of Vatican works.  This letter shows why the clergy dismisses the laic, forgetting about the loss of "us" they would be out of a job!
