"When you think of the fact that there were 200 bishops there representing over 180 bishops’ conferences, plus several different bishops or patriarchs in charge of different Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church, you realize this was the leadership of over 1 billion Catholics in the world coming together to reflect and pray about this issue, which in countries like the United States we have grappled with for years. However, for many bishops, it was the first time that they were being exposed in a serious way to this issue."

IMHO, this is the important message from the Vatican's Summit on the protection of minors in the church.

First and foremost was the task to introduce the subject to everyone because we in the USA think we are everyone.  We are not, in fact, this was the first time the issue was presented as something that affects and will affect all.  I hope the bishops understood.
