Soundbite excerpt from letter:
As Catholics, we believe that the Church’s teaching on human nature and sexuality is life-giving and leads to holiness. We believe that just as there is no room for adultery in marriages, so there is no room for adultery against the Bride of Christ. We need bishops to make clear that any act of sexual abuse or clerical unchastity degrades the priesthood and gravely harms the Church.

Excellent—thank you, Father.
Based on past reports and musings, one gets the sense that many within the hierarchy will politely acknowledge this letter, privately find it to be amusing then, quietly go about their lives either turning a blind eye to what is going on or, worse yet, participating in it themselves. It is so easy anymore to have little confidence in our leadership.
Ex ore infantium!
