JERSEY CITY: The Roman Catholic Church acted like a "corporate entity" in its handling of sex abuse scandals, a retired bishop told one of the nation's largest organizations for clergy sex abuse victims during a weekend conference in Jersey City.

Thomas J. Gumbleton, a former auxiliary bishop, said he had a hard time with any bishop caring more about money than children.

Gumbleton is believed to be the first U.S. bishop to disclose that he was a victim of sexual abuse by clergy.
