In November 2009, the Irish Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse reported its findings in which it concluded that:

“the Dublin Archdiocese’s pre-occupations in dealing with cases of child sexual abuse, at least until the mid 1990s, were the maintenance of secrecy, the avoidance of scandal, the protection of the reputation of the Church, and the preservation of its assets. All other considerations, including the welfare of children and justice for victims, were subordinated to these priorities. The Archdiocese did not implement its own canon law rules and did its best to avoid any application of the law of the State”.

To be convincing here, you must show that the cases of abuse occured in the time when we knew, as we know now, that pedophilia cannot be cured. IOW, show that the actual abuse occured within at least 20 years, if not preferably 15 years.

Not the reporting of the abuse to civil authorites, but the actual incidents. That’s the only way that a theory of “conspiracy” would he more reasonable.
