BBC NEWS | Talking Point | How can the US Catholic Church restore trust?Amid the media coverage of the Catholic problem, a respected US newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor, has quietly reported that sexual abuse occurs more often in the Protestant churches, and abuse is also worse in US society at large than it is among Catholic priests. There ought to be a uniform way of dealing with Catholic priests who abuse children, but the suggestion that corrupt priests are always dealt with wrongly, even if true, says nothing about the marginal proportions of these mistakes.
