But its findings will not be used for criminal prosecutions — in part because the Christian Brothers successfully sued the commission in 2004 to keep the identities of all of its members, dead or alive, unnamed in the report.

WHAT? What judge decided that this is appropriate, and under what circumstances? Victims I can understand, but how is it valid that the perpetrators are allowed to remain anonymous in this?
That is probably the most morally outrageous part to me. Abuse happens, and while it's not something that should be tolerated, at this point it's pretty much expected. But this protectionist crap that keeps these people from being persecuted properly is appalling. These people are supposed to be representatives of God, and if this is the terrible crap that they're doing then what is that supposed to lead a non-believer to believe about God?
