Nonetheless, we do know that there has been plenty of child rape in the Catholic Church, with the priests moved around to avoid legal punishment and the stories hushed up until the statutes of limitations ran out. (When he was head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Ratzinger ordered that such matters be kept in the Church and that secular authorities not be informed.)
So whether this is true or not, I still think the Church has crossed the moral event horizon.
