Absolutely Right

I think I'll just quote this remark by Jay Ackroyd at Eschaton this morning:

"I keep trying to come up with scenarios that would allow an international organization to systematically cover-up, and even enable, the sexual abuse of children Like, imagine the Montessori program turned out to be an organization that permitted their practitioners to break molestation laws, and covered up for them.

I can't see how the organization would last a month.

The idea that the Church can have its members pray the hierarchy's way out of this seems absurd on its face. And yet we have seen no RICO filings.

Oh, and by the way, all the talk in the Church hierarchy is that this is all in the distant past. You can be sure that this is not the case."

That about sums it up, huh? And yet if we don't do something drastic (i.e. take away their tax exemption and put a lot of them in prison) you know that, thirty or forty years from now, it's going to turn out that they just continued in their perversion, and the kids be damned. This has in all likelihood been going on for hundreds of years, and they aren't going to stop on their own.
