This story from Ireland.

And here is a video from the charming tenneral in the UK which touches on the popularity of the current pope in England's green and pleasant land.

I forget what country it was and am too lazy to look it up right now, Denmark?, that seized Catholic Church documents around their nation. As they investigate the molestation and cover up of children by the clergy.

I think it speaks to the political power of the Catholic Church that this has not taken place in other countries. IMO, it clearly should.

Illegal, and immoral according to the church itself, behaviours within the clergy appear to be endemic. More countries should be aggressively pursuing actions against the church. And just because leaders are no longer in the church is no reason not to. It's not as if a business can say 'oh it's okay we released poison gas because our leaders are gone'.

That rings a bell. Wasn't there material relating to a child abduction among some priest's documents?

I like Tenneral's videos. I find him very easy on the ear.

I think THIS is what I was thinking of. Belgium.

The Dutroux file discovered in the residence of the Archbishop of Malines

Police question Belgian cardinal in child abuse probe
