How bad is the fallout from the grand jury report into child sexual abuse by priests in six Pennsylvania dioceses.
You'd be hard-pressed to find an organization that has defended the church more stridently than the Knights of Columbus.

It's a compelling read.

In the meantime, on our op-ed page, another great read, this one from the Rev. Ed Hallinan. He's pastor of St. John Chrysostom Parish in Nether Providence.
Father Ed, as he's called, wants people to actually stop and think, taking the time to ponder just what the grand jury has laid out in stark fashion.
And he's calling on lay people to take the lead in helping reform the church.
