Archbishop Buechlein assures us it's history:
"The complexity of the issue and scandal is very difficult to communicate," he says. "I think it is wrong that the general impression has been given that every diocese is like Boston, that all bishops are involved in a cover-up, that many priests are abusive-- which is simply not true-- and that it's all going on now, when from all appearances it was 10, 20, 30 and 40 years ago."
Q. The number of abusive priests that qualifies as "many" is
a. 4,077
b. 4,313
c. 4,392
d. 4,408
e. none of the above
