O’Malley praises ‘Spotlight,’ media’s role in abuse crisis

Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley on Tuesday praised the Academy Award-winning film “Spotlight” for portraying the crucial role investigative journalism played in uncovering the clergy sexual abuse scandal and spurring the Roman Catholic Church to “acknowledge the crimes and sins of its personnel.”
“The media’s role in revealing the sexual abuse crisis opened a door through which the church has walked in responding to the needs of survivors,” O’Malley said in a statement.
