In all the analysis and discussion that has followed the disclosure of clerical child sex abuse, it would seem that when it comes to discussing why it happened and why there was a cover up, there have always been certain areas of interest that have been considered taboo and have therefore not been discussed.

Roman/Vatican documents can often seem obscure and learned but sometimes too they seem to have an ability to air-brush what might seem uncomfortable and embarrassing.

What exactly is at the 'root' of this 'particular crisis'?

In communicating this summary of the Findings of the Apostolic Visitation, the Holy See re-echoes the sense of dismay and betrayal which the Holy Father expressed in his Letter to the Catholics of Ireland regarding the sinful and criminal acts that were at the root of this particular crisis.
