Of all the horrors in the Pennsylvania grand-jury report on decades of abuse by Catholic priests, the greatest may be this: “Monsignors, auxiliary bishops, bishops, archbishops, cardinals have mostly been protected” — and “many, including some named in this report, have been promoted.”
The 1,400-page report covers decades of secret history for six of the state’s eight dioceses. It lists 300-plus priests who had engaged in abuse, mostly of boys but also of girls. The incomplete roster of victims runs more than 1,000.
Details include a child pornography ring, rape of a pre-teen girl in the hospital, sadistic “grooming,” a girl impregnated and then “helped” with an abortion and on and on and on.
