Whistleblower: clergy sex abuse
On 60 Minutes tonight, an interview with the whistleblower who leaked information to the press proving that Catholic Bishop Richard Malone of Buffalo, NY has been covering up the sexual abuse of priests for years.
You can watch the segment and read more about it here: Whistleblower says bishop knew of sexual abuse allegations, but did nothing.
It is chilling to hear her describe how the church handled victims of abuse in her diocese. It's not as if this is surprising - this follows a pattern that has been the M.O. of the church in the US and around the world. The difference now is that finally the civil authorities are getting involved, and no one any longer believes the church can police itself.
