[quote=Anonymous]You are not using the term apologist correctly -- that is about the defense of faith as an intellectual exercise.

But since you likely meant to suggest PP was trying to underplay the abuses in the church, I don't see that comment this way at all. The past abuses in the church are an open public record (most of the abusers are dead or in prison). The current education and reporting program is state of the art and a model for other institutions and has been since the 1980s.

These are facts that are not apologietic nor suggesting in any way that the abuses were anything other than criminal, horrific, and traumatic.

At the same time, it is also true that other organizations are not and have not been forced to be as transparent and are proteced by our laws from doing so; have not undertaken the years of of work to construct a system of protection for children; and have ongoing abuses. To point out other areas of problems is not condoning the ones that are well publicized.[/quote]
