	Letter to the Editor: Abusers, Not Church, at Fault for Sex Acts By Ronald Gilles Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Febriary 4, 2008 http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=714401 Your question, "How should the Catholic Church be held accountable for past sexual abuse by clergy?" is not valid (Editorial , Feb. 2). The Catholic Church did not commit sexual abuse. Individual members of the Catholic hierarchy committed the acts, and other members of the hierarchy covered up those acts. They should be held criminally responsible for those acts. By continuing to refer to the perpetrators of these acts as the Catholic Church, you are painting all members of the church as responsible for their acts. That characterization is not accurate.
