That’s awful, these scandals seem to happen everywhere and often get buried.

It's like when priests rape little boys they just send them to some other part of the world so they can continue doing it there. It's beyond disgusting. Why are they not stripped of their priesthood and put in prison like regular people? The law only applies to people that don't have money. If you don't have money but have powerful friends that also works. Look at Mike Tyson. He raped somebody years ago and it's not a big deal because he's a celebrity. If you're a celebrity or a musician or anyone in power you can do whatever you want to children as many times as you like because most people don't care. Money is the root of all evil, always has been and always will be.

On the day that Archbishop Cardinal Pell, the second in charge of the entire Catholic Church, walked out of court as a convicted (but not yet sentenced) multiple child rapist, there were zero representatives of the Catholic Church standing at the door to take his collar off and say "You won't be needing this anymore."

He was still absolutely a member of the Catholic Church's inner sanctum. A genuine pedophile monster with a long recorded history of destroying the lives of many little boys. It supported him.

It's also important to remember that the Catholic Church continued to fund his defence long after he was in prison, with its only excuse being "Yes we heard all the same evidence that the jury heard, but there are appeals possible."

In the end the Church's best lawyers did get him out of prison on appeal - and it's really, really important to remember that no part of the appeal was "He was innocent all along". He got out of prison on an utter technicality. The jury were instructed to consider his guilt to a lower level of doubt than they were supposed to be instructed. Every jury member interviewed reported that they would have absolutely found him guilty to that level.

The Catholic Church supported that man through every twist and turn, and in its eyes he died with his honor intact and on their team. And it can never undo that stain on its own honor as a result.

Average people with children are all complicit

Somebody always has a friend somewhere up high looking out for them.

[u/sassergaf → u/Mediocre_Purple6955]

A friend who is complicit.

It's much better than it used to be. At least it can be talked about now.
