RICO? Not if it makes the faithful pay for the clerical criminals' crimes.

All the financial penalties that have been paid out over the past 20+ years --- from hush money, to confidential settlements, civil liability, pay-offs: it just spreads the costs to the Good Guys, the blameless pewsitters, and lets the Bad Guys off the hook.

The mitred princes are draining the Church of her whole patrimony built up over generations, robbing our grandparents who worked in the mines and mills and built the schools and cathedrals... our grandparents and and our grandchildren.

If they got hit with huge RICO penalties they´d probably sell off the parishes and schools. St. Brigid´s will be an art gallery, Sacred Heart an upscale condominium.

No. I want the perpetrators, and their enablers, in jail. I´m sorry.

If they serve hard time it´s no more than justice, and if the hard time makes them repent, so much the better for their eternity. See also #24
