Catholic Herald Published Narrative Re-Cap

As a slight interlude to our Triduuum coverage, The Catholic Herald today published The Pope and the abuse scandal: a guide for perplexed Catholics -- wherein they "publish a narrative account of the furore that engulfed Pope Benedict XVI after claims that he covered up clerical abuse."

While you are at it, you may also want to read Lutheran theologian John Stephenson's defense of Benedict and critical commentary of the approach of the media and some of those within the Church in this matter and with regard to his person generally: The dictatorship of relativism strikes back—and goes nuclear. (Learnt by way of Robert Moynihan and Inside the Vatican.)
