The disgrace of the Catholic Church continues

Priest abuse and widespread cover up.  I'm sure that those involved will be prosecuted.  But this is the part where the Catholic Church seems to stand apart from other cases of child and sexual abuse.  It's that systemic nature of it, that entire swaths of this or that diocese seem to be involved.  In few other cases are there examples of so many being behind obstruction of justice or other attempts at cover up.  When it has happened - thinking Penn State here - the result has been swift and devastating justice, from the authorities as well as the institution in question.  And, quite frankly, outrage on the part of the public and the media.  But it's that these cases keep coming up, where it's not just some rogue priest assaulting children (like a teacher or doctor or something), but there is a clear and obvious attempt to cover up the crimes on the part of so many.  Sadly, that continues to be the black eye that sets the Church apart.
