4,450 -- but, hey, who's counting?

The BishopAccountability.org website posts a PDF file of the survey forms the U.S. dioceses were asked to complete for the John Jay study, including detailed instructions. It's interesting that the manuscript itself appears to be a copy faxed from Stephen Brady's Roman Catholic Faithful.

Especially significant is that the data requested -- concerning the victims and the offenders and the circumstances of the offense -- are quite detailed and specific. It will be particularly noteworthy, when the results of the survey are made public on February 27th, what data the National Review Board, and the bishops, see fit to reveal or conceal, to foreground or to pass over lightly.
