Will Pennsylvania be the Wake-Up Call We Finally Heed?

. . .having read 357 pages of the report so far, my heart howls to heaven & at the walls of my church.  I want to cry, “Mountains, fall on us” for such systemic failures to protect the innocent & stop people from perpetuating evil.  How pervasive is this problem, if these are only the ones we know about in New Jersey, in Pennsylvania, in Chile, in Washington, D.C., in Boston?  What about the ones we don’t know about?  How deep is the filth?  What about all the dioceses where a grand jury hasn’t done this sort of work. . .
