Up to a certain time in history, it seems never to have dawned on ANYBODY simply to call the police.

They thought they were shielding the Church from "scandal". That really worked out well.

Another thing that sickens me is the number of laity who sincerely believed that it was ALWAYS sinful to say anything negative about a priest, and that a priest could “send you to hell.”

The “old Church” was not perfect! I hope those two beliefs HAVE been sent to hell.

They were in that case for quite some time...And no doubt they are still shielding scandal...

I wonder who ultimately turned this creep into the police...
