	Friday Quiz Catholic Culture August 6 2010 http://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/otr.cfm?id=5347 An Episcopalian bishop has been restored to authority in the Diocese of Pennsylvania, despite an earlier suspension for his gross mishandling of sex-abuse complaints. An ecclesiastical tribunal found that the bishop could not be deposed for his misconduct, because it occurred 35 years ago and the statute of limitations had tolled. The decision came down on Wednesday. What do you suppose happened on Thursday? * The major television networks led their morning news coverage with the story? * The New York Times launched a 5-part series of front-page reports on sexual abuse in the Episcopal Church? * SNAP held a press conference demanding that the Diocese of Pennsylvania turn over files on all clerics accused of abuse? * Time questioned whether the whole mess would forever mar the legacy of the Archbishop of Canterbury? * Nothing. These are Episcopalians. Sexual abuse by non-Catholics is a non-story.
