Police raid on 3 (arch) dioceses

[Rev. Rye]

"The molestation crisis in the past ten years" is a bit of a fucking euphemism, 'reverend'. True to your persona. It's centuries if not millennia of institutionalized child abuse that we're talking about here, 'reverend'! And its systematic and organized condonement, facilitation, and whitewash by its leadership !

Yes, the abuse happpened for centuries. The "Scandal" I'm referring to is when it became generally known that this sort of shit was happening. Here's what I'm talking about; until fairly recently, it was enshrined in canon law that allegations of sexual misconduct were to stay within the church on pain of excommunication (see Crimen Sollicitationis.) Now, given this, it sort of makes sense that they'd just shuffle them around; It's utterly reprehensible, but at least it made sense.
But then, in 2001, it stopped being enforced, and a scandal erupted. And, pretty much, they handled it in the same way, but now, it seems that they're more open about it. So, now it's not just reprehensible, it's also utterly stupid.
I mean, any villain involved in huge-scale coverups at least knows to try to create a sense of plausible deniability, whether or not it's Nixon covering up his involvement in Watergate, the Nazis destroying their own concentration camps, or, fuck it, take your pick. Except, apparently, the Catholic Church hasn't figured this out; they're not trying to make sure this doesn't happen again; they're not even trying to hide the fact that they're not trying to make sure it doesn't happen again; such transparent villainy sort of makes you lose what little respect you had.
