It is unfortunate the harm caused to the Church and the Clergy and these bishops in particular.  How could they know that sexual abuse of children was a bad thing?  How could they understand "the awful reality of these crimes"?  It's not like they have ever claimed to be experts on morality.  Reading the quotes from this poor, courageous bishop, one cannot help but believe they are truly filled with the Holy Spirit.  But I am confused about the reference to the papal structure.  Surely they are not implicated the papacy in this scandal??
