In Philadelphia last week, a child sexual abuse trial involving
Catholic clergy led to a bombshell — a bishop from West Virginia was
accused of abuse. In Kansas City, a Catholic bishop goes on trial in September, accused of failing to report suspected child abuse.
Last year church officials paid $144 million to settle abuse allegations and cover legal bills, and although many of the cases went back decades, church auditors have warned of "growing complacency" about protecting children today. So who's in trouble with the Vatican? Nuns.
