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.
