I see stories regularly that an individual commits sexual sin. That person, when exposed, is fired. The catholic story has currency because of how many decades it spanned and for being systematically covered up by its leadership... All of whom should be in jail.

partially true...Protestants and others are guilty of the same offences...however, you can sue the Catholic Church as an entity...you cannot sue the Lutheran church as such. You might be able to sue the local congregation, but not the National church. The Catholics, however, are set up a little differently. One can sue the Archdiocese of New York for an action of one of its' priests in a parish within that Archdiocese. The Archdiocese has millions of dollars, and the local protestant congregation has a few thousand....that's the difference!
