Having written extensively about the Catholic Church and the Pope’s inadequacies in dealing with the ever-growing scandal of sexual misconduct and coverups, this allegation confirms for me the deep rot in the church’s hierarchy, where the priests are more important than the flock.
Similar to many organizations such as the United Nations, Ohio State, New York University, the Government of Canada, CBS,Texas Instruments, Tesla, and plenty of others, coverups by high level executives is the norm rather the exception. When these various organizations feign ignorance, only one of two things can be true. They actually did not know about the problem, in which case they exhibit gross negligence and ineptitude, or they were lying.
