[quote=Anonymous]"The pope said it's unfair to judge the cover-up with today's standards, in the same way it's unfair to judge the forced conversion of indigenous peoples during the colonial era or even the past use of the death penalty. He said sex abuse was also covered up at home and elsewhere in society." I'm a historian and I don't know that it's accurate to say that covering up sexual abuse was a cultural norm in past generations. Certainly people did cover it up, but then they still do. In the early 20th century it was pretty common to for newspapers to name sex offenders and also name their victims-so not exactly covering up.[/quote]
