| The bishops have met, policies have been made, documents have
been written. But will these efforts really affect the condition
of the Church? James Hitchcock analyzes in Policy
Equals People, an exclusive to CWR online. |

In the wake of the recent spate of clerical misconduct, Catholic
World Report is making available past stories on Church scandals,
past and present.
Starting back in 1993, when stories of Fr. James Porter first hit
the news, CWR was on the scene, giving valuable insight into the
origin and effect of the scandal.
In 1995, James Hitchcock wrote his invaluable essay, Conservative
Bishops, Liberal Results, exposing what would later become an
even larger problem: the failure of “orthodox” bishops to rein in
dissent and abuse within their own dioceses.
And in 1997, Salt For Their Wounds showed
that supposed rehabilitation centers for troubled priests were actually
encouraging misconduct!
Fr. Paul Shaughnessy created a stir in 2000 with The
Gay Priest Problem, an essay that many thought too harsh and
judgmental—but one that was proven accurate in its conclusions when
the most recent stories in Boston broke.
We hope that this online resource will help you inform yourself
and others of the truth about the scandal in the Church. |
