The only word that comes to my mind is CHUTZPA when the Churches plead poverty and ask for the parishioners to help pay for the cost of mismanaging and fudging the pedophile priest crisis.

RICO come to mind......ongoing organized effort to cover criminal conspiracy.

I wouldn't go that far but I absolutely understand your position.

I think the top tier management of the Catholic Church (The Vatican) was blindsided by the pedophile priests crisis. You have Bishop/Cardinal Mahony and others actively trying to suppress the problem instead of dealing with it right away like firing the creeps and having them deported.

Many times, it was never a question of whether or not a lot of these priests molested kids... I know of one case when just about everyone knew about ex-father O'Grady's dirty secrets and chose to look the other way. One Father was so shocked with the cover-up, he left the Church to become an attorney.
