KT,

This is the statement he should make:

Despite rigorous efforts to recruit men that will not engage in either immoral or illegal behavior, it is close to impossible for any large public institution or church to identify all perfect candidates beforehand. As a result, between 1%-4% of all priests are either aggressive homosexuals that are attracted to post pubescent men (especially young ones), heterosexuals that seek affairs with women, or pedophiles.

Unfortunately, this small percentage can, and in our case did, do enormous damage over the decades if they are not handled properly.

1. The church will continue to improve it's recruiting efforts and deal with all immoral and illegal behavior appropriately in the future.

2. The church apologizes for its ignorance on these matters decades ago (we are hardly expert on matters of sexual behavior) and the ignorance of the psychiatric community that advised us on the appropriate way to treat and handle these men decades ago when society did not understand some of these behaviors very well.

3. The church apologizes for the very few in positions in power that did not act out of ignorance, but instead acted irresponsibly or illegally. They will be removed from positions of power but not abandoned.

4. Most importantly, The church will work to help those that were harmed by all that ignorance and immoral behavior in the past.

5. The rest of you can go fuck yourself.
