Phoenix Bishop Thomas O’Brien—a center of controversy since being charged with covering up sexual misconduct by priests in his diocese and, shortly thereafter, with leaving the scene of a fatal hit-and-run accident—is emblematic of the troubles that have bedeviled the Catholic Church. In this ABC News program, correspondent Ron Claiborne presents the O’Brien case to illustrate how the Church is coming to grips with wrongdoing attributed to its clergymen and its efforts to make amends for it…as best it can. (23 minutes)
