Fall from Grace: When Priests Prey and Bishops Betray - WKBW-TV

The searing compilation of investigative reports took on the story of clergy sex abuse and coverup by the Catholic Church, and revealed hidden, long-standing problems within the diocese in Buffalo, NY. Just last week, the Bishop there resigned.

Charlie Specht spoke with Columbia Journalism School Professor Nina Alvarez about how he cultivated sources over time and the challenges of reporting on the diocese in Buffalo, a city where the Catholic Church is a powerful institution.
