text: Yeh? Africa hasn't even begun the reveal yet. All those victims in countries in the third world where abusers were placed out of sight have still to have their say. A tsunami of complaints is on its way.
  
  You are actually arguing that the reason the number of abuse cases is down is because of the great work the Bishops and Cardinals have done? 
  
  Risible. The only reason the numbers are down is because victims began to speak out, the media and the People of God began to at last listen. 
  
  All along, and even today - with the possible exception of the Swiss Bishops conference - the Catholic Hierarchy have set themselves against the truth. It has, and always had to be, dragged out of them. 
  
  Tell me this, when Ratzinger/Benedict instructed the Bishops NOT to report cases to the police authorities but only to the CDF, do you think that helped or hindered stamping out abuse within the Catholic Church?
