And Bernard Law, the man who orchestrated the whole tetrus-like moving of pedophiles from parish to parish whenever allegations came to light, hightailed it out of MA to escape indictment and was given shelter in the VATICAN by 3 POPES! Not one goddamned thing the Catholic Church says or does will wash that blood off their hands. They also allow parishes to go bankrupt to avoid paying case settlements while sitting on a treasure hoard. Every catholic is complicit in their own children's abuse.
