Until last month, Juneau Bishop Edward Burns headed the US bishops
sex abuse committee. For years, he had tangible power to protect kids.
As best we can tell, he did little or nothing in that post. For years,
he has an enormous bully pulpit. He could have used it to exhort church
staff to act responsibly. As best we can tell, he never did.
Instead, he postured. He claimed, in an interview, he was “shocked” by an Altoona PA grand jury report that showed the same horrific cover ups that virtually every other US grand jury reported in every diocese that was investigated.
