After every new exposé of abuse in the Catholic Church, bishops, superiors and other managers end any statements with a pro-forma claim that their priority is the protection of vulnerable people. By now, the claims are merely threadbare formulas, empty words that convince no one because repeating them is so often necessary.

About the Speaker: Father William J Grimm is a Maryknoll Missioner of 40 years experience in Asia-mostly Japan, Hong Kong and Cambodia.
