This week, staff writer Elizabeth Ulrich exposes the hypocrisy of the Southern Baptist Convention, which continues to bury its head in the sand about clergy sex abuse. Matt Pulle finds himself on the wrong side of Tennessean editor Mark Silverman, who responds to the charge that he's a temperamental tyrant by being a temperamental tyrant. Sarah Kelley details the latest crackpot decision at the Capitol, which led to the demise of a crucial death penalty study committee. And the latest in a series of staggeringly depressing stories about the plight of one of the state's most vulnerable populations chronicles alleged rapes inside a state-licensed youth treatment facility. Finally, our latest Confederacy of Dunces column takes aim at the likes of Karl Dean, Bill Hobbs and a poor bastard with a bad muffler and a pocketful of pot.

Elizabeth's story is infuriating. Why hasn't this gotten the same attention as the Catholic sex-abuse scandals?

As Father Doyle predicts in the story, it will eventually.

More eventually than with the dioceses, I hope.
