Cheri Perkins Mantz reported in our Catholic Herald.

Of the Supreme Court’s decision, the archbishop remarked, “The way I read it, the decision could’ve been more dismal for the archdiocese; it wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been, but it was also very sobering and there could be difficult days ahead,” said Archbishop Dolan.
And it's so unfair; all the kids were doing it.
The archbishop reminded listeners that the issue of child sexual abuse is not specifically a Catholic problem.
“It afflicts all of society and culture,” he said. “...We are gravely serious about beating what is probably the greatest crisis that has ever come before the Catholic Church in the United States. And darn it, we have been making significant progress and that isn’t patting ourselves on the back."
Not exactly.
"Outside people tell us that probably nobody is confronting this terrible issue ... more effectively than the Catholic Church in the United States.”

One of two callers posing questions was Fr. Bob Betz, a pastoral team member at Divine Mercy in South Milwaukee. He asked Archbishop Dolan what he would advise his priests do at the parish level when questioned. ...
“First of all, be very open,” said the archbishop.

Well, yah, but..
There ARE no 'dioceses' for Baptists, Methodists, and Lutherans.
Conversely, there ARE jailed ex-pastors (and perhaps some who have been civilly sued into BK status.)
Oh well.
