How many Catholics will read about this and invent some kind of excuse in their minds, so that they can rationalize, or justify, the actions of their church without actually criticizing it? That seems to be the general pattern when the Church is caught doing things like this. Make up excused and go right on sending in your weekly collections.
And it isn't only the Catholics, either. Virtually EVERY religious organization has been outed for some form of abuse or immoral actions, yet the faithful manage to put it aside and keep right on supporting their corrupt leaders. It's almost as bad as politics!
