- Quotes
Marty Baron: Sometimes it's easy to forget that we spend most of our time stumbling around the dark. Suddenly, a light gets turned on and there's a fair share of blame to go around. I can't speak to what happened before I arrived, but all of you have done some very good reporting here. Reporting that I believe is going to have an immediate and considerable impact on our readers. For me, this kind of story is why we do this.
- Crazy creditsImmediately before the end credits roll, there is a brief summary of what repercussions occurred after the initial story was published, including numbers of stories, priests accused, and survivors in Boston, as well as a note on the continuing cover-up via reward of abusive priests. There is also a list of 203 cities in the United States and around the world where other major abuse scandals have been uncovered.
