Again, the pope alludes only to pedophile priests, not corrupt bishops.

A Catholic official is promising to visit Lincoln Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz and push him to comply with the church's national abuse policy, which Bruskewitz has "consistently broken for a decade," a victims group says. 

It is ironic that while America's bishops pat themselves on the back for their alleged clergey sex reforms, another arrest of a priest for serial sexual abuse hits the news. We hope that as the bishops leave Atlanta and return to their home dioceses, they see this story as a sobering reminder of how far church officials really do have to go.

A Terre Haute judge has ruled that a clergy sex abuse and cover up case against the Indianapolis archdiocese’s most notorious predator priest can move forward. Victims are applauding the decision.

Calling a jury decision “a watershed moment for children’s safety in the Jehovah’s Witnesses,” a self help group for men and women who were molested by denomination members is praising the child sex abuse victim who took her case to court this week in California.

A second woman has come forward with allegations of abuse by Rev. Joseph Jeyapaul. Jeyapaul was arrested in India earlier this year for the sexual abuse of a 15 year old Minnesota girl. 

America’s Catholic bishops, Reuters reports, are launching a major new public relations campaign.

This is a huge victory for kids, victims, parents and law enforcement. We are grateful to the brave Scout victims whose courage and compassion have led to this impending disclosure. 

The LA Times reports that some of America’s bishops feel they need more professional public relations help. Boston’s Cardinal Sean O'Malley of Boston apparently agrees, saying "We need more help and sophistication in our messaging."

First, we’re here to express our sympathy for the family of Rev. Creflo Dollar. No matter what happened last week or happens in the weeks ahead, it’s clearly been – and will likely still be – tense and perhaps even traumatic. We hope that each of them is getting help from independent and experienced professionals.

• Victims to testify to lawmakers
• They push to reform child sex laws
• Bill would give them more time to take legal action
• New Jersey’s Catholic bishops oppose the measure

The sentencing of Skip ReVille doesn't end this talk of horrors. It's almost certain that others he hurt, perhaps dozens, are still suffering. Citadel offciais have a moral duty to find and help these individuals.
