Reply #27: What happens when a teacher abuses a child?

[Goblinmonger]

They get fired and they have criminal charges. What happens when a priest in the not so distant past abuses a child? They get a new job in a new parish and things are covered up so there are no charges. See the difference.

And here's the kicker that REALLY pisses me off. What happens when it actually does come out and the abused sues the church? The church declares bankruptcy (while the Pope sits on billions of dollars of art and other artifacts) so that they don't have to pay any money.

Show me a religion that has had THAT level of institutional cover up for abuse (and at very high levels--the current Pope was part of the cover up when he was #2 guy) and then we can have a discussion of whether it's unfair to point out the RCC and it's abuse problems.
