Really it's no wonder that protecting the criminal and punishing the victims has been the MO of the church for such a long time now. After all, it's criminals protecting other criminals.
Naive is not the right word for self-serving deception at the expense of those already victimized.
I was talking about the naivety of the average believers, not the bullshit spun by the criminal enterprise that makes up the RCC leadership.
