Quote:How many priests have been disciplined or defrocked? Do you have any clue?
Completely misses the point....as usual. People are never as discreet as they think they are. How do you suppose they got away with it for years without anyone else knowing what was going on? Short answer, they all knew. But no one dared say anything to rock the boat. How many were protected by their bishops? How many were simply transferred to new parishes? Even you can't ( or at least shouldn't) be so blind as to think that all of these law suits are one-shot deals.
You have a corrupt institution which was far more concerned with protecting its assets than the asses of altar boys. That they are being forced to grudgingly clean up their act under threat does them no credit at all.
