 All in all very well, but this is a view of the things, that could be seen as biased by other parts of the discussion on the sex abuse cases. So I think, we should keep also the church reactions: 
 
 Though recognizing the moral defy of the abuse cases and the demand for an appropriate reaction by the roman-catholic church, handling and presentation of the abuse cases caused also critique by Catholics and others.

Accused bishops defended their actions on abuse cases as appropriate due to the prevailing psychology of that time suggesting that people could be cured of such behavior through counseling.
