Scandal Close To Pope’s Brother?

Pope Benedict XVI continues to defend the church against a growing number of sex-scandals, one that even hits close to his brother, saying the church has addressed the issue in a  ”timely and decisive manner.”

In a note read on Vatican Radio, the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, cautioned against limiting the concerns over child sexual abuse to Roman Catholic institutions, noting that the problem also affected the broader society. He also cites other abuse scandals numbering 510 were found in other areas of Austria, while 17 were found within the Catholic institutions. Does that make 17 okay? I think not!
