My sympathies for the Church are limited. They've known about this problem for at least decades. It was hinted at when I was still a Catholic. And they've been doing what Clinton and his ilk do when caught in a compromising position. They covered up. Then, when it started to come out, they used delay and spin and other damage control techniques. While I have some sympathy for the good priests, they, too, were part of a corrupt organization, they knew it, and they had an obligation to not perpetuate it. The whole institution can fold for all I care. Folding would be too good for them. This is an atrocity that makes Clinton and John Walker look like candidates for sainthood.

Only one of the 90 accused Boston priests has publicly proclaimed innocence. Most have either undergone some type of therapy or have written acknowledgements of their deeds. Many of the unaccused priests in the diocese have to bear some responsibility for looking the other way while the sick bastards among them were transferred from parish to parish and continued to sexually abuse children.
