I am afraid I am not quite that cynical.

Yes, the college of bishops as a whole is guilty of covering up the abuse of minors; yes there has been a highly deluded notion that scandal must be prevented at all costs; and yes, I take your word for it (I have no knowledge) that Burke has been identified as a significant instance of that delusion excusing the cover up of grotesque patterns of clerical sexual abuse. 

But for all that, I think there is a difference between covering up acts of abuse before they are widely public, and sitting as a judge in a case where the abuse accusation are already globally public. If the evidence shows that Abp. Apuron is guilty, I expect that even my favourite cad, Cdl. Burke, will find him guilty. Appropriate sentence, well, not so much.

In this case, the test of  your cynicism versus my refusal to assume even utterly-deluded right-wing clerics are inherently corrupt, will play out for the world to see.

How's your work load these days?
