Imagine how it would be today if the Catholics as an organization had had the cojones to turn these pedos over to the police instead of covering them up and allowing them to continue on. The cover-up is worse than the crime. Probably wouldn’t have lost so much face and wouldn’t be facing so many lawsuits and investigations.
But, they never learn.
Where have you been? Anyone displaying the smallest hint of abusive behavior to adult or child is turned over to the police instantly. It’s so extreme that 2 bishops and a cardinal have been wrongly accused and persecuted. The new system is working. Notice all these lawsuits are for crimes of the 19th or sometimes even 18th century.
