1. There's an interesting dichotomy between how the general public is reacting to the Pennsylvania report on child sex abuse in the Catholic church and how conservative Catholics are reacting.

8. Of course not all conservative Catholics are shifting. Among the die hards are Bill Donahue (a.k.a. Catholic League). He's angry that others are jumping ship.https://twitter.com/CatholicLeague/status/1030445791691923456 …

Interesting re Ruse. Worth noting that some right-wing church apologists have not made the same shift. Catholic League's Bill Donohue set out to "debunk" PA grand jury report https://www.catholicleague.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/PA-GRAND-JURY-REPORT-DEBUNKED1.pdf …

And their kids have gotten older, and told them some stories. Even the non-victims knew. Youth groups are insular from the outside but inside, people knew. And finally, they are being believed.

Conservative catholics not being able to accept reality and thinking all these reports of systemic child rape is just a biased media plot until a "liberal" Pope is in charge really doesn't speak well for them or their judgment.

My bro was an early 90’s philly seminarian. He talked about the days & days of physiological evaluations. I asked why. “What other job has the absolute access to kids and is completely trusted.“ I nearly fell over. They’ve known for decades.

I come from a conservative Catholic background, and I think that this shift has more to do with public figures, rather than the rank and file. The former are changing their tune because the latter have already been quietly angry about this.

I was about to say... it’s unequivocally good that conservative Catholics are finally recognizing the gravity of this crisis, but it’s in no small part a reaction to this Pope in particular.
