Just a reminder that, back in the 80’s, when the Church became aware that they had a major sexual abuse problem in the US, they took immediate action. They took out a few billion in insurance policies that would pay out sexual abuse claims (they got the insurance incredibly cheaply, too!). They destroyed files, or moved them to Washington where they became protected by diplomatic immunity. And they continued their practice of moving abusive priests to new locations without warning the parishoners and denigrating, ignoring, and threatening the survivors. They also made sure that each diocese was a separate entity, and moved as many assets into other organizations as possible.

They deny there is a problem, and viciously fight any blame, guilt, reparations or payments. When priests potentially face repercussions, they’re moved to other countries or “retired”, often out of reach out the justice system. If they’re forced to pay out, they rely on insurance to pay most of the money. If they themselves are forced to pay out, they immediately claim hardship and bankruptcy.

The Church is not to be trusted.

I feel like sexual related crimes should not he included in bankruptcy, you know, like student loans.

No, no, NO! It’s the drag people at the libraries that do this!

There was a post on Reddit awhile back… Of a real website… For sexual abuse insurance that the priests could use…

What the fuck.

Buh bye.

Good thing all these struggling small businesses were able to get covid relief loans. Most of them got to pay off their horrible pedo rape lawsuits with the money!

That’s an evil looking cathedral

Feck ‘em.
