Agreed.
It's institutional, from top to bottom. I have a grade school classmate who was abused by our parish priest. In the discovery portion of his trial, the diocese here was forced to produce documents of the coverup. Which ran so deep that many of the docs were stamped with "SHRED" because they were so incriminating. That priest was never brought to justice. He left the priesthood (allegedly) and went to Thailand or something. The whole thing is beyond terrible.
