it's a good question why the pope, and the roman catholic church haven't done more to clean house in relation to pedophiles. today, the pope did speak a little about some of what they are doing to prevent further abuse from happen. but, still one could ask if it's enough, why they have taken so long, and how will the guarantee that it won't take place again.

but, using the word scandal doesn't deflect the blame onto the victims. at least not according to any standard definition.
