	How Should the Catholic Church and Catholics Respond to the Philadelphia Clergy-abuse Allegations? Wall Street Journal March 17, 2011 http://online.wsj.com/community/groups/religion-diversity-tolerance-governance/topics/how-should-catholic-church-respond?commentid=2224170 The recent news that the Philadelphia Catholic Archdiocese has placed on leave 21 priests accused of sexual abuse of minors is a reminder that the U.S. church abuse scandal is far from resolved nearly a decade after it came to light, as Dinah Wisenberg Brin and Peter Loftus report. (Note that I decided to widen this question to explicitly include individual Catholics after having initially posed it only in terms of "the church." I made the change because "the church" is often understood to mean just the hierarchy, though Catholics are told the church is all of them - Michael)
