It makes me CRAZY when we hear/read anything from senior clerics and/or the Vatican that is self-congratulatory regarding child sexual abuse AND doesn't note those who are and have been criminally complicit AND have not been held accountable in a meaningful way.  We could likely count on our digits the number of hierarchs turned over to law enforcement or disciplined by the Vatican for moving perpetrators around, lying, obfuscating, hiding documents and all the rest of it.  Yes, the Internet is filled with horrors, but so was the Church long before the Internet existed...and so it still is in countries where both offender and supervisory crimes have not yet been revealed.  I'll be the first to applaud the institutional Church's efforts when accountability is 100%.
