I share the same views of so many that the clergy sex abuse history remains a very sore point because no bishop has been held accountable. No bishop has lost his position; in fact, Cardinal Law's outcome was a perfect job for a senior person!
The clergy sex abuse situation would never have became such a disaster if the bishops had acted appropriately when each case was brought to his attention. Pediphiles are not relegated only to the Catholic clergy. However, only in the Catholic Church have pedophiles been "assisted" without facing the severe consequences of their behavior. If sanctions were appropriately administered, including jail, not only would there have been far fewer cases, but it would have alerted everyone to the repercussions of contemplating such behavior.
To think that no bishop has suffered any consequence for their conduct is itself a tragedy!
