It ain't bragging if you can do it.
Is it any wonder that many children were not believed when they reported abuse by priests? It is all part of a "we are always right" state of mind IMO.
Who said anyone "wasn't believed?"
DSC has already attempted to explain the severe limitations of our "we're always right" policy. It certainly is nowhere near in scope as you postulate.

Not believed, silenced, whatever. It makes no difference if it is not acted upon properly. It covers up a crime. And I only used the abusing priest argument because it is easier to see the affects of the "we are always right" attitude here.
