That doesn't change the situation at all, though. If the Saints were really telling the church which pedophiles and rapists to out and which ones to keep quiet, none of the externalities matter whatsoever. _If_. I'm waiting to see what shakes out before passing judgement.
Again, if Gayle's statement is 100% truthful, they're recommendation was to out all and keep quiet none. So, that would indeed change the situation, IMO.
