most of these cases are from the US, and the entirety of the bishops in the US dioceses and archdioceses and the vice president and president of the USCCB were summoned to Rome for this
This feels like when a cop is put on paid suspension after shooting someone. They were summoned?!? Oh man, I hope they made it out alive.
Why is it even relevant that most cases happened in the US? The Church certainly didn’t help with rampant sexual abuse in the Canadian Residential schools. They didn’t do anything to stop unwed women from forced labor and non consensual adoptions in Ireland. When one of my loved ones was assaulted by the principal of the catholic high school, she told the diocese. Their response was to send everyone, including the victim, to sexual harassment training rather than fire the creep. That was less than 20 years ago.
