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"?
I think Hitchen's is taking the Pope's huge authority into context when he says 'directly responsible'. You'd think the Vatican would have angels telling them if a priest was misbehaving, right? lol
