Betrayed by Silence: systemic abuse by Catholic clergy

A Minnesota Public Radio story, which can be found here: http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/catholic-church/betrayed-by-silence/documentary/ Sorry for copyright violations, if any, but it is a matter of public interest. In my country, Poland, such systemic cover-up continues to go unpunished, protected by clergy and the state itself. Look up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B3zef_Weso%C5%82owski https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juliusz_Paetz to see how it works. Here it goes: -------------- For decades, the archbishops who led the Catholic archdiocese in the Twin Cities maintained that they were doing everything they could to protect children from priests who wanted to rape them. Reporters picked up those assurances and repeated them without question. Police and prosecutors took the assurances at face value. Parents believed the assurances and trusted priests with their children. [...] MPR News published its first investigative report in September 2013. The fallout was immediate. The vicar general resigned within days. Police launched criminal investigations. Catholics held protests, and Nienstedt canceled his public appearances. The unraveling had begun. This radio documentary was reported by Madeleine Baran and produced by Sasha Aslanian with help from Manda Lillie, Meg Martin, Tom Scheck and Laura Yuen. It was edited by Mike Edgerly. It was mixed by Erik Stromstad and Rob Byers. The project's editor is Chris Worthington. http://minnesota.publicradio.org/collections/catholic-church/betrayed-by-silence/documentary/
