I think his last sentence doesn't go far enough - I'm not sure how far I'd need to go to describe someone who covered up systemic child abuse on a global scale

It always confused me how, at least in Boston, many many priests (but not the most egregious one or two) avoided prosecution for child abuse.
Same in Ireland, some high profile cases were prosecuted- but not the majority, and nothing happened the nuns - especially the evil that ran the mother and baby homes. 300+ babies discarded in a septic tank.
And similarly in Canada as we are finding the unmarked graves of children at the former sites of the Residential "School" system.

O'Connor was right.

I did not know about this. Thank you for sharing
Do you have a link for the 300+ discarded babies? I'd like to read about that.
Thank you. No mention of prosecutions in that article. Perhaps many of the people who were in charge are no longer alive, but perhaps some still there. There's no mention of it that I see.
