I've followed the stories a bit... take the blind kids - the community itself did the hiding initially, and still wanted to protect the priest many years later ...is this not true? If so, how is any indirect decision made by a very distant overseer making that overseer "directly responsible"?
You're not understanding this.
1 priest rapes a kid. The word gets out.
The Pope finds out about it, does nothing but relocate the priests who can, in turn, rape again.
The priest rapes again and gets relocated.
Multiply that for all the priests who fucked little kids, and you still think that the Pope's not directly responsible for letting rapists and torturers loose? Why aren't these shits in jail again?
