I don't know the latest on this story b/c I don't read local Philly papers. To show how widespread pedophile abuse and cover-up is, the Episcopal bishop of Philadelphia was suspended by a church council b/c he evidently had hard evidence that his brother, also a priest, was an active pedophile. The bishop actively covered up. I believe there was evidence that people knew of the cover-up. I can't recall the name of the clergy/lay group that retired him but he refused to go. There was litigation and many emergency sessions. I did not attend church for a while so I don't know its resolution.
It seems tacky to go into church and ask a stranger about some salacious story. Some of the details absolutely shocked me. People on the special council that I knew said the evidence was overwhelming. Don't know about any lawsuits from victims.
When I read about pedophilia or hear it on the news, it is very bad. I don't have children. When I see children playing or walking along, I am struck by their utter vulnerability. How any church can cover this up is beyond me. Besides, as is so clear with the Catholic Church and Richard Nixon, the cover up is more disgusting. Certainly, the perp wants to walk but why should officials who committed no act protect the perp over children.
