I pray to God that don't use that Nuremburg Trials line of reasoning.

I'm with you on this, but, the fact that all these bishops seemed to act in the same way, that they transferred priests who were proven abusers, leads me to think that they were operating from 1)Canonical requirements or 2) An ingrained culture that put protection of the reputation of the Church above all else or 3) both.

I suspect #3 is the case for almost every bishop.
