Not a single bishop has acknowledged or apologized for his decision to put the image of the Church before the protection and care of sexual abuse victims of clergy.
Nor have any bishops had the decency or courage to call their fellow bishops to accountability.

The result? Many Catholics, including fellow clerics, friends who are practicing Catholics and friends who have left a Church they find disingenuous, dismiss the bishops as inauthentic and unworthy of their attention.

There is no "other side" to Lynn's crime.
Part of the problem are Catholics who choose to make excuses for people like Lynn and others just like him among the episcopacy. The excuse making (including an agenda driven D.A., SNAP, the NY Times and even the judge) are all beside the point.
The fact is that children were endangered in the Catholic Church by exposing them to pedophile priests and members of the hierarchy who compounded the problem by reassigning these same homo perverts to other parishes to prey on even more unsuspecting children.
Put all of them under the jail.

There is more at work here than meets the eye.

Think and make points that appeal to reason and that have the power to convince. If one intends to defend the Catholic faith in an increasing pagan world, one must be prepared to give substantive rebuttals to the arguments made by the many critics of the Catholic faith.
Thank you for your cooperation.
