The Pope Assumes Responsibility

[JesusHChrist]

No not just a problem with the Catholic Church. What is different about the child abuse at the RCC is the way the investigations have been stonewalled, the perpetrators protected and in some cases spirited away out of the country, the lack of concern for the most vulnerable and a pervasive holier than thou attitude - at least until they started losing billions in judgments. It took decades of denials and coverups before the first inkling of accountability was shown. Even now, they are still in protect their asses mode.

If a corporation behaved this way, it would be sued into oblivion and rightly so.

The PR damage has been enormous. The Catholic "Brand" (of bullshit) forever tarnished. The butt of jokes on South Park and late night TV. Part of pop culture even.

Fuckers.
