Shows how dozens of priests sexually abused hundreds of children; how Phila. Archdiocese officials -- incl. Card. Bevilacqua and Card. Krol -- excused and enabled the abuse; and how the law must be changed so that it doesn't happen again. The abuser priests, by choosing children as targets and trafficking on their trust, were able to delay reports of their sexual assaults, to the point where statues of limitations expired. And Archdiocese officials, by burying those reports and covering up the conduct, similarly managed to outlast any statutes of limitation. Even worse, sexually abusive priest

Naked holy men denying sexuality and feeling; elderly people basking in the warmth and security provided by devoted and attentive family members; fastidious priests concerned solely with rules of purity and minutiae of ritual practice; puritanical moralists concealing women and sexuality behind purdah's veils--these are familiar Western stereotypes of India.
