Colorado prepares for release of church abuse audit
"Beginning this weekend, thousands of Colorado parishioners will get an outline of the U.S. Roman Catholic Church's look into the clergy sexual abuse scandal.

http://www.9news.com/storyfull.aspx?storyid=22688

"The results of the national audit are not likely to impress David Clohessy, spokesman for the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests.

"'The bar is pretty low because the bishops set it themselves,' Clohessy said. 'So I don't believe the audit report will be particularly helpful, but I fear the bishops will try to reap tremendous PR benefits from it.'"

I doubt the report will impress me, either.

1. Self regulation is generally a bad idea.
It's too tempting to abuse it.
