This further response from the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests to news the Vatican is directing bishops to report sex abuse to civil authorities just hit our inbox:
"It's sad when the Vatican has to make it clear to bishops that they must follow secular laws.
"It's fairly obvious that if you are saying you will now cooperate with the police then you are admitting that you have not been.
"What the Pope needs to do is to clearly order all bishops to turn over all records on clergy sex crimes right now to authorities across the world. And he should immediately disclose records on the thousands of cases that he personally handled as head of CDF from 2001-2005."
