The chuch, IMO, remains profoundly lucky to not have been prosecuted under RICO statutes.
IIRC, it was PBS that illustrated the abuse at a Wisconsin catholic institution for disabled kids. That place was a magnet for pedos since for the most part, the kids were unable to complain about it, and the dioceses was aware of the problems, and not only did they ignore/facilitate the continuation of the abuse, they harrassed (via their legal department) any families that complained about the abuse.
I'm not likely to ever ameliorate my stand just from this one outrage, that there are many, many more remains incomprehensible to me that anyone could support such a corrupt and base organization.
(anyone knowing the title of that PBS documentary, I'd appreciate seeing it here. Realistically, I am aware the WILLFULLY IGNORANT that need to see it the most will not bother to watch it, still it needs to publicized)

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
