Dear GovernmentShrinker,
"The scathing indictments of the Catholic Church were mainly for the cover-ups and enabling the molestors to continue."
This fellow molests upwards of a couple of hundred kids, and you think no one at all in his places of employment had any idea whatsoever that something's not right?
The fact is, estimates are that there are perhaps 100,000 children per year molested in public schools. Do you think that in large numbers of these cases there isn't someone looking the other way? That strains belief.

In some cases there are no doubt people looking the other way. But not people who publicly hold themselves out to be guardians of Catholic/Christian faith and morals. I think it's perfectly normal for people to be more appalled by a Catholic bishop or archbishop actively covering up child molestation and helping arrange tranfers of known molestors to new locations where they'll have access to more victims, than by some public school educrat not bothering to report suspicions.
In this particular case, the guy didn't have "a place of employment", he was working in many different schools on an irregular schedule as a substitute teacher. In that situation I don't find it hard to believe that none of his temporary or permanent superiors knew about his activities, especially since we're talking about a school district or districts where apparently over 100 elementary and/or middle school aged children can be molested without a single one of them reporting it to a parent who would in turn call police and raise a massive ruckus.
