Bishops need to get out of the way of abuse investigators. We need lay leaders who won’t go soft — such as former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating, who was forced off an abuse-investigative board back in 2003 after he refused to apologize for comparing the bishops’ coverup to the Mafia.

In May, all 31 of Chile’s bishops offered their resignations to Pope Francis in the wake of a blistering 2,300-page report on the failure to address decades of abuse there.

That should stand as a warning to Wuerl and other “minimizers” in the US hierarchy: Denial is only deepening the scandal.

“There is a network of Bishops priests and Cardinals who are involved in sinful activities, who promote one another.” The good and holy priests who cannot and do not abide by nefarious activities are pushed out, one way or another

Phil Lawler wrote in 2002 “What the bishops “didn’t get” is the simple, stark reality that they were the problem. Yes, certainly the priests who molested young people were a huge problem. But the secondary shock—the scandal that rattled public confidence in the Catholic hierarchy—was the realization that many bishops had covered up the scandal. Worse: that many bishops had lied to their people. And not just the bishops: during the “Long Lent” of 2002, Americans had learned about a culture of inertia in the clergy, a habit of mendacity. In Dallas the bishops talked about how to discipline wayward priests; they said very little about how to restore trust in their own leadership”

Bishop McElroy responds to the report written by the late abuse expert, Dr. Richard Sipe, in which he met with with McElroy warning him about McCarrick and seeking help through the 'proper channels'. McCarrick. (McElroy was his bishop in San Diego) Like other bishops we have seen this week, enabler McElroy dismissed the report and refused further contact so Sipe resorted to a process server to present the written findings to the bishop.
