The Catholic Church's sex abuse scandal won't go away; instead, it keeps growing every day. Take the story out of Belgium, where a report has been issued that details what went on, including more than a dozen suicides linked to the abuse perpetrated by priests and a cover up that continues to this day, when a Belgian bishop suggested that a complaint be withheld until 2011, when the bishop who covered up for the offending priest will retire. With each passing day, it becomes more and more difficult to hold that this behavior was just the work of a few rogue priests. There are just too many cases all around the world, for anyone to believe such a thing. This is clearly a major problem which the church tried to hide from the authorities and recklessly let it continue, without any regard for children elsewhere, by transferring priests. There is no excuse for this unpardonable sin.
