Don’t believe it for a second.
Brisbane’s Catholic bishop claims he and his colleagues were “caught like rabbits in a headlight” regarding clergy sex crimes.
He also claims one case is a “dramatic failure of oversight” that showed a “spectacular bungling.”

Don’t believe it for a second. Remember, bishops are smart, well-educated men.
They have smart, well-educated staffs.
They hire smart, well-educated lawyers.
They can – if they like – hire other smart, well-educated consultants and experts.
And they – and their colleagues and predecessors and supervisors – have been dealing with (and hiding and enabling) clergy sex crimes for decades.
