About this ebook
The scandal of clerical abuse of minor age children continues to be widely reported in the media. The cost to the Catholic Church has been dear, both in the payment of billions of dollars and also in the criticism for the handing of the offenders by the Catholic Bishops. The same question arises over and over: Why didn't the Bishops stop these destructive acts? How could these Bishop let these crimes go on?
