Would you attack the Church if you could?

An ‘indemnity deal’ had been signed between two representatives of the Conference of Religious of Ireland (CORI), an umbrella group representing 138 religious congregations, on behalf of eighteen religious orders that had run the residential institutions, and the then Minister of Education, Michael Woods. It would not have been unreasonable to expect that many of those responsible for the acts condemned by the Commission would end up in court, then in prison. Instead, the deal that had been cut between the government and CORI not only ensured immunity and privacy, it went even further: the religious orders were also indemnified from any legal action, whereby any costs would now be met by the Irish taxpayers in return for a transfer of property and assets to the sum of €128 million. No representatives of the victims had been involved in any of these negotiations.

Why would the church poohbahs want to meet with the victims ?

It might make them feel bad and take steps to rectify the problem,  Can't have that, now, can we ?
