...I agree with the basic thesis of your post, with the caveat that the RCC's knowledge, as an entity, of the systematic rapes is not an assumption, it is a fact. They developed, and implemented, a strategy to manage the fall-out. They knew. The RCC, as an entity, is culpable; the laity,given these latest reports and preponderance of evidence, are increasingly complicit with every future donation to this culture of child rape.
However, my question and astonishment were directed at the apparently purposeful and willful ignorance on display at the individual level.
