NPR on Mormon sex-abuse scandals

Here's a story by Howard Berkes from this morning's Weekend Edition about child sex-abuse coverups in the Mormon Church:

Mormon Scandal The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is now finding itself the subject of lawsuits for sexual abuse. Like the incidents within the Catholic Church, Mormon officials are accused of knowing about the abuse, not reporting it to the police, and trying to contain the information. NPR's Howard Berkes says dozens of lawsuits are now being prepared against the Mormon Church. [go]
Follow the link to the audio file, and listen to the nauseating outrage and sanctimony of the church spokesmen busy covering their bosses' asses. But have a bucket standing by.
