Not so. Just pervasive, that's all ... each such protected priest having his own circle of contacts and friends who -- having eaten of the tree of good and evil -- evidently decide for themselves who should be held responsible for their crimes and who should be relieved of consequences.
Same as in the "hierarchy" that is our national politics. Everyone's delighted when Klayman dogs only the Democrats we think deserve to be strung up, stopped and sent to prison ... but we don't feel the same when it comes to our own or someone in whom we've invested our "faith".
