Sol,
You are reading language that was added after decades of media blitzes and conservative Catholics donating their stewardship money to other charities as a dramatic protest.
I don't know the details of what happened behind the scenes at the most egregious pedophile cover up cases. Nevertheless, experienced lawyers summed up that the Roman Catholic lawyers did not do wrong by defending the church. They are lawyers. You must defend your client. Nevertheless, most lawyers representing corporations and charities know there is pro forma defending and your best reasonable effort. All types of lawyers who witness the Catholic lawyers said the lawyers were so ruthless in defending the church that they went way beyonding representing the church. Some observers became physically sick observing their conduct.
How do we get media attention?
NOT to sure about the Cathoics.
I thinK the elders will handle future cases like psychiatrist: tell people up front that if they have done anything that concerns breaking the law that they will need to go talk with the police. If they say anything by law they will turned them in.
1st they have to admit there is a problem.
So far they havent.
Karter.
Hell no.
