Rezendes: the story now goes to the Vatican.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Michael Rezendes said that he wasn’t surprised by the bombshell sexual abuse scandal around the Catholic Church in Pennsylvania.
It was announced Tuesday that hundreds of priests in the state sexually abused more than 1,000 children over a 70-year period, according to a grand jury report.
Rezendes, a member of the Boston Globe’s Spotlight team that exposed the church’s sexual abuse cover-up in the city, said that Tuesday’s announcement was nearly identical to the one he investigated.
“This is a systemic problem within the Catholic Church,” he said on “The Daily Briefing.”
