Pope’s latest PR offering on clerical abuse should fool no one - National Secular Society

A papal decree requiring reporting of abuse has just been issued, seemingly resulting from the February conference on clerical abuse which drew together the presidents of every Catholic bishops' conference in the world. This ambitiously dubbed 'all-out battle against the abuse of minors' was widely regarded as 'a stunning let-down'.

If you were expecting the church of the buggered choir boy to stop doing their favorite thing don't hold your breath.
 
If the Catholic Church wishes to maintain any semblance of credibility within its dwindling congregations, it really needs to proactively address these abuses, however, the Pell affair sadly demonstrated otherwise.
