It is, unfortunately, more then just Vatican-speak.  It is the "voice" of the exact mindset that the entire Vatican - popes and bishops combined - that forced the abuse crisis, and any resolution, underground.  With a few steps forward in the past 10 years or so, we remain woefully at the starting point in effective Church-wide prevention (witness the recent collapse of the papal commission, headed by Cardinal O'Malley, the Church "model" for confronting the sexual abuse method of 'ministry.')  If you listen you can still hear Navarro's voice repeating over and over "It is an American problem!" in the halls of the Vatican.
