Since 1950, more than 6,500 of the nation's priests, or about 6 percent, have been accused of molesting children, and the American church has paid over $3 billion in settlements, according to news reports and studies commissioned by the U.S. bishops.

Not sure why it's showing up as black text on a black background on that website. Select or highlight all to read it better.

"We highly doubt there is a single victim of abuse who will ever receive the same attention, pomp and circumstance by Pope Francis," the network said in a news release after Law's death.

"Every single Catholic should ask Pope Francis and the Vatican why," the group's statement reads. "Why Law's life was so celebrated when Boston's clergy sex abuse survivors suffered so greatly? Why was Law promoted when Boston's Catholic children were sexually abused, ignored, and pushed aside time and time again?"

The survivors' network said the "celebratory focus on abuse enablers like Law must end," the group said. "It is time for the Vatican to refocus on change: protecting children and those who have been hurt."
No words.

They probably missed their flight to go gas some of their fellow Jews and had to improvise.

How many jumped to the conclusion and had the "I" and "T" word on their lips? I know I did...

Poor web design attracts people who don't want to pay for the thoughts provided to them.
