Why do you point fingers at everyone for not banding together?

We know kids are abused every day i dont hear a peep about that from you though, and there is no more abuse in the Catholic church than elsewhere:
The Catholic church just happens to be the topic here. Besides, the Vatican is the mother of it all.
As far as investigation, the Catholic church does not investigate crimes. That is up to the police to do
It kind of makes one wonder why the Vatican or Archdiocese or what ever branch, moves accused priests around rather than investigate. The police and any other branch of perceived authority is in the pocket of TPTW.

The Catholic church is going down, and you or I would just be in the way!

Thank you so much! I was wondering when we were going to see the old "it's dangerous if people get the idea that if they band together, they might do something bad to hurt the masters" line.

at some point, the church implemented procedures that answered that "what do I do with this guy?" question, and the result was a rapid reduction in instances of abuse.

And all they did was ship them to another area, where they probably continued their vile actions.... So the reduction in instances of abuse is simply because the abusers were shipped to another area....

But the bottom line is that, in that case, which seems typical, it wasn't a matter of "the priest was messing with children, let's move him to another parish, where he can abuse more children," as you're implying is the case.
but you should read the evidence before assuming you know what happened.
THERE is little sympathy for victims of sexual abuse within the Christian Brothers, a member of the order has told a Victorian parliamentary inquiry.
In fact, the order has developed a culture of denial, historian Barry Coldrey says.
"At the moment, the mood is sullen, angry and certainly little sympathy is expressed for victims," Dr Coldrey told the inquiry into sexual abuse within religious organisations in Melbourne on Friday.
"No one ever won an election in the Christian Brothers by expressing sympathy for victims."
Dr Coldrey said there were members who refused to accept the guilt of Brother Robert Best, who was convicted of abusing 11 boys over a 20-year period.

The evidence is he was caught kiddy fiddling, was moved and continued his kiddy fiddling. The church was not interested in stopping him kiddy fiddling...
yes, the church needs to be punished for the things they've allowed.
