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

Sorry to steer this towards a religious discussion, but that Catholic Church has been concerned about its image since the early 00s when the first cases came to light.
Being at a Catholic elementary school at the time, there was a big notion of “Say nothing and ignore” going on at the time.

I agree wholeheartedly. I am (and struggle to remain) a practicing Catholic so when these stories present themselves I speak as someone whose heart has been repeatedly broken by the Church. It pains me that I am unable to give them the benefit of the doubt.
