It is things like:

European Tribune - Comments - It's ok not to report crimes if you're a priest

Ireland has moved on a long way in the past 35 years, but many legacies of the ancien regime remain. For instance the Catholic Church still manages 90% of the primary schools in the country and controls the appointment of Principals and teachers despite the fact that all salaries are paid for by the state out of taxpayers money.

that drive it home.

I find it also telling to read that many of the people who've stepped forward with their stories really, really want to see the Church apologize, even more than they'd want monetary compensation.

Thanks for your post Frank.
