It's like when a politician got found out doing hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of fraud. Anyone else would go to jail. This guy was "forced to pay it back!"
Unfortunately schools and universaties alike have done far more cover ups of abuse than the Catholic Church. We just don't hear about it all the time because it's not as scandalous as when it is done by priests. And yes, politicians as well. It's a horrible thing.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
