There's a part of me that wants to see them try to do a significant amount of damage control to ensure that this sort of shit never happens again (maybe something like permanently defrocking any paedophile priests and handing them over to the authorities immediately); after all, my old church, after I left, wound up sheltering an elder who turned out to be a pedophile (they're Lutherans, BTW). That said, I know how conservative the Church tends to be, and I know how they've handled the molestation crisis in the past ten years, I can't see anything like that ending well.
Of course, something tells me that they probably won't go much further.
"The molestation crisis in the past ten years" is a bit of a fucking euphemism, 'reverend'. True to your persona. It's centuries if not millennia of institutionalized child abuse that we're talking about here, 'reverend'! And its systematic and organized condonement, facilitation, and whitewash by its leadership !
