worldwide for centuries. It is the poorly-hidden shame of the Roman Catholic Church worldwide. Since the hierarchy's response has always been to shuffle offenders around to new places, the entire hierarchy is guilty.

The only solution, really, is to disband the entire thing as a cosmic mistake, in my opinion. I see no possible way for the RCC to atone for the damage it has caused during its history.

I'm serious about this.
