David, In 20 years of work you don't recall when you have been so deliberately misquoted. How often have you been correctly quoted? Even less, I suspect. The point is not the numbers of priests and victims; the point is the cover-up. Our shepherds were worried about the scandal and the cost; I wonder how many are being fitted for a tie attached to a millstone? Our Lord takes a dim view of the failure to protect His lambs.
