Saints fight to avoid disclosing emails in Catholic abuse crisis (MERGED)

Agreed. The Church needs to stop acting like this is some internal corporate matter and just let it all be on display. Then deal with the ramifications. Not sure why you think we are on opposing sides here.
They put it all on display when they released the names of all the priests and their victims (those who'd openly sued them at least). We had a pretty large thread about it when it was released on the EE, I believe. The church is paying out big time and priests who aren't dead who were involved are being defrocked and charged.
