Fair warning: this is not a particularly positive take on how some Catholics are reacting to the recent release of a grand jury report about yet more sexual abuse cases that were covered up by church leadership.
About the only possible positive interpretation of the notion that many Catholics are more focused on protecting the church itself rather than its members and attacking things that they consider sexual sins that have little or nothing to do with abuse is that we know there are still plenty of Catholics that are reacting in better ways.
For those that are thinking that doubling down on campaigns against homosexuality will help at all... well, I think it's clear they've learned nothing. What would stop any such campaign from running into exactly the same lack of accountability and desire to protect the church's reputation that efforts to deal with pedophiles ran into? Absolutely nothing.
