You know what would have saved them a lot of money? Not moving abusive priests from parish to parish. Did they really think that no one was going to sue them?

"Did they really think that no one was going to sue them?"

Um, yeah, something like that.

Maybe they hoped the power of jesus would protect them.

I read a Vanity Fair article years ago and the attitude re: moving bad priests was, "It's a poor parish; nobody there makes any trouble." That's a quote. The picked disadvantaged areas deliberately, because they believed the people would be too meek to object to their kids being raped.

I am so worn out with rage at the Church over this.

We'll save the tarnished image of our church due to sex abuses by PROTECTING the sex abusers! THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!
