Back on ground level, things are still an unholy mess:
Mother
Hubbard's Cupboard: The
Roman Catholic diocese of Stockton, California (a wholly owned
subsidiary of The Vatican, Inc.) says it hasn't got enough money to
pay any more victims of priestly pedophilia, so there is no point in
making a big to-do about it. So the diocese is seeking bankruptcy
protection from the children they offered no protection to. Okay,
so why not deed the church's property to the victims and let the
church rent the places? O better, why not sue the parent company;
it's got lots of money, it knew
about the abuses, and it was their policies that allowed, if not
encouraged, decades of child abuse.

One of the best parts of this one was their bishop arguing that without the bankruptcy protection, they'd be unable to help folks in the future. Yeah, gotta toss the past victims on the rubbish heap and look to the future.
Just so. The Church has behaved so basely through all of this . . . it is simply unforgivable.
