 :As I've pointed out before, it has been enough of an issue in the UK that a previous Archbishop of Cardiff had to resign over his handling of abuse cases, and Cormac Murphy-O'Connor also received pretty major coverage for his handling of a case when he was at Arundel (less justifiably in that case certainly).  Things in the UK certainly haven't got to quite the level that they have in the States, with Dioceses going into bankruptcy, but I really don't think you can that there is no problem with how the issue has been dealt with.  Ireland has also had a serious problem with many claims coming from those who were at catholic schools.
