  Did Latest Catholic Sex Scandal Get Right Amount of Coverage?

A new sex scandal for the Catholic church, this one in Germany focusing on a single case, is drawing a mix of coverage.

Some, such as CNN, point to the implications for Pope Benedict, especially in light of the worldwide and U.S. scandals back in 2001.

Others, like the National Catholic Register, contend it is being overcovered, noting one case is far from the string of allegations and humiliated priests that came about nine years ago.

Of course, with the kind of sensitive hit such a scandal can have on the church, individual priests and the victims, coverage is likely never at the exact proper amount.
