[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 6803770, member: 549629"] At best, the church is above the law and makes its own decisions in these matters, it made a horrible mistake in systematically hiding the alleged rapes, continues to over look the guilty parties in most cases, and lied to the public and its own congregation to whom it teaches the word of truth. At worst, the priests are not above the law, and should face real and immediate trials, including situations in which the crime was hidden by others in positions of power. Are you implying the media has created a conspiracy against the Catholic church and all these accounts of crimes are made up? Even if that were true, or possible, which its not, what matters isn't what happened... what matters is what people believe. You can chose to ignore the problem and suggest its all a vast conspiracy to attack your religion, but the problem is real, the crimes are real, and the perception is the church hierarchy is doing their best to cover up as much of it as possible.
