...keep the faith through all this, I find myself asking: Why? Why can these men not get the enormity of what has happened? The best I can come up with is that they are well-intentioned men who somehow cannot see that what they have enabled is systematic child rape. They resist deep change by claiming that celibacy isn't the issue. But the hierarchy's cover-up of this evil surely has something to do with celibacy.

An ultra-orthodox Catholic, he sent nude pictures of his wife to his best friend and, in one of the weirdest discoveries of the Mailer/Schiller research, proposed that his friend use the date-rape drug Rohypnol to seduce her.
