The bishops gathered here for their semi-annual meeting also heard a preliminary report on the "causes and contexts" of the clergy sexual abuse scandal that resulted in some 14,000 abuse claims and cost the church $2.6 billion since 1950

Come on now Gordy, after John Paul II they obviously know a thing or two about the health care of brain damaged patients.
