I have been pondering the following. This CCSA seems to only occur in Anglo Saxon type cultures, USA, Canada, Australia, Ireland (UK?? not sure). Most catholics live in the Club Med, South America and the Philipines and the scandal does not seem to be prevalent in those parts. Also let me put in the mix that I spent 15 years schooling in a very catholic environment a long time ago and never once experienced or even heard rumours of CCSA.
So my theory is that the RC clerical culture has simply been unable to cope with the tide of modern Anglo Saxon licentiousness and pornography. Please, I am not exonerating the CC, simply observing that it appears to be the extreme cultural mix that has been explosive.
BTW, IMHO I do not at all expect priests to snitch to the Revenue, the Gardai or whoever, anything that is revealed to them in confession, and I am not sure it is right that the Minister of Justice who is a Jew should be demanding this.
