The Detroit archdiocese will expend significant, and I'm sure appropriate, resources studying what is sees as serious liturgical abuses at the closing ceremony of the American Catholic Council in Detroit on June 12, 2011.

I wonder how much resources it has expended in studying the causes of clergy abuse (rape, sodomy, etc.) of children by Detroit archdiocesan priests and religious order priests under its jurisdiction. Maybe the archbishop and his archdiocese bureaucracy don't need to expend many resources on that issue because, after all, Dr. Karen Terry and her crackerjack research team at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, at the request of and with the grant of over a million dollars from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, have recently written a study report that contains, the U.S. bishops say, the definitive word on that topic. Saints preserve us!
