roman catholic church was released this week by the john jay college of criminal justice. the lead researcher said no one factor was responsible for the actions of the priests. both celibacy and homosexuality were ruled out as causes. instead, researchers found that priests were influenced by societal changes during the 1960s and 1970s, what they called an increase in "deviant behavior." several victims groups denounced the report, saying it does not place enough blame on the bishops who covered up abuse. we discuss the report and the reaction to it with kevin eckstrom, editor of "religion news service," and kim lawton, the managing editor of this program. kim, is it the case that the report has something in it to make everybody unhappy? >> well, a little bit. when this crisis here in the united states really hit a boiling point in 2002, a lot of liberals in the church said, well, the problem is this all male priesthood and enforced celibacy and that's creating the problem. a lot of conservatives said it's homosexuality and gay priests and that's the problem. and this repo
