we're America, and we have a double standard.

Most likely, his family also paid off the boys. That would have been the deal, and the guy would go away somewhere so that no one would know what he was.

The pressure that the Church can bring to bear on kids' families - even if the kids are grown - and the influence it has among prosecutors and police can never be underestimated. The crap these guys have gotten away with is criminal and beyond.

Just think of the good Cardinal Law and what he got for covering up all that abuse in Massachusetts - a promotion to the Vatican. The bastard should be chained to a wall in a Federal prison somewhere, but, instead, he's living his life of luxury in Italy as one of the Church's pampered princes.
