As always, this piece dodges the significance of the staggeringly overwhelming predominant male-on-male nature of the misconduct, vis-a-vis the demographics and sexual practices of the general population. There can be no realistic conclusion other than that men entered seminaries and the priesthood as a cover for access to teen boys, whom them groomed and seduced, often along with their families. And it is dishonest to say it is about power and not sex. It is ALL about sinful, immoral and perverse sex, period. The after-the-fact cover-ups and abuse of power are motivated, not by protection of the church, but protection of a network of exploiters of young boys. We as a community know that and often say it privately without restraint. Let's say it publicly and clean up the mess for once and all.
