Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Reliability tier 2: a Catholic wire service reporting the bishops' conference's own figures directly and in more procedural detail than PBS's account, corroborated by PBS NewsHour's independent AP wire coverage of the same report. NotesTier 2: a Catholic outlet's own editorial affiliation is noted; used here only for the procedural breakdown (confirmed, investigating, rejected percentages; reporting to law enforcement) that PBS's account does not carry, cross checked against PBS for the headline figures.
