The Catholic Church and the sex abuse crisis

Many thoughtful people have recognized that only a small number of priests are guilty of this crime.What concerns them is the cover-up and they have every right to be concerned.Sadly,the Catholic Church is not the only institution at fault.There have been similar reports of cover-up involving other religious denominations,schools,the boy scouts etc.
Does this get the Catholic Church off the hook? No. All forms of cover-up involving this crime needs to be condemned.

Geoffrey Robertson QC

A certain Geoffrey Robertson writes in The Independent 26 April 2011 that "The bedrock of our constitution is the Act of Settlement ...A blood-curdling anti-Catholic rant..."
Must be a different Geoffrey Robertson from the one who wrote "The Case of the Pope,"an anti-Catholic rant.
