This stuff goes all the way to the Pope. Cardinal Law whisked out of Massachusetts jurisdiction and rewarded with a cushy job at the Vatican. Cardinal Mahony was allowed to sandbag an investigation till the very last moment, right up until he would have had to testify.

This goes further than that. It goes to thousands and thousands of years of priest and clergy who have used myths and fairy tales to try to control politics and people, nations and nationals and lord over the “souls” of millions. And what is the fruit of all this? If you think any of the “good” that religion has done for society out weights something like this, you have a very warped sense of justice.
