text: Read the Judicial Review Reports from Ireland and the individual module reports from Australia. Both established the figures of 7% to 7.5% of  abusers within the clerical ranks. Whether you "buy it" or not is immaterial; they are the published facts; following years of preparation. You did not comment on the fact that at least 80% of bishops enabled them in the cover-up. Those combined figures are all the more unacceptable because these are the men that preach the Gospel of the Lord; upholders of moral standards & Christian values; aside from all the "shall not's" in the Catechism. That's why the credibility of the institutional church is at an all-time low and older people like me are questioning all aspects of my faith in detail; simply because a lot of it was created by men, who we now know; have/had little credibility. I grew up in the pre-VII period church,  with all it's might & power and I can see by your comments that you are hankering after that period. That's all over. T.G.
