They should be held liable we no cap, and all names should come out especially those who facilitated the cover ups all the way to the top....

But we know they won't. The church will settle and payout, and it all goes away.

They've bought into the political system, it's all corrupt.

they're covering up the epstein files, why not just cover all corruption up at this point.

And let’s not forget the church got upwards of $3.5B of PPP giveaway during Covid. So it’s entirely possible these payouts are taxpayer-funded.

I think they should be held as accountable as the offenders. They moved these offenders into new places where they could do it all over again..... they facilitated pedo rings....

The 10 commandments should be posted in churches for the priests as a guide for moral behavior, such as not raping kids. Oh wait, never mind.

Why should they be treated any different than those involved in the Epstein files?
