The Clergy Abuse Crisis Has Cost The Catholic Church $3 Billion
Editor note: $3 Billion only covers USA Costs to protect Catholic Pedophiles and attempt to help the abused children.
Sixteen years after an investigation in Boston highlighted the dimensions of the sex abuse crisis in the Catholic priesthood, the financial and reputational cost to the Catholic church continues to grow.
Lawsuits by abuse victims have so far forced dioceses and religious orders in the United States to pay settlements totaling more than $3 billion, and at least 19 have filed for bankruptcy protection.
Attorney James Stang, whose firm has represented abuse victims in most of the bankruptcy cases, acknowledges that big payouts can't compensate the victims for their suffering, but he argues it's important to hold church leaders accountable for their negligence in allowing the abuse to happen and abusers to go unpunished.
"I don't like the word healing," Stang says, "because it's too much of an individual process, but at the end of the day, that accountability is demonstrated by the payment of money."
The lawsuits have targeted dioceses and religious orders, not parishes, because individual Catholic congregations have little authority over their priests. The diocesan assets at stake in the ongoing cases include cash, stocks, land and buildings, in addition to insurance payouts.
The image of the Catholic church has also taken a hit as a result of the clergy abuse crisis. A Pew Research Center report earlier this year showed a sharp decline in the ratings U.S. Catholics gave Pope Francis over his handling of the abuse scandal.
No surveys of Catholic attitudes have been taken since the former Washington D.C. archbishop, Theodore McCarrick, was forced to retire from the College of Cardinals last month in the aftermath of allegations made against him, or since a Pennsylvania grand jury this week found that about 300 priests in six of the state's dioceses had allegedly abused young people in their care. Church observers are nevertheless bracing for the fallout from these scandals.

The Vatican Has Paid Nearly $4 Billion To Settle For Children Harmed By Sexual Abuse
Just a sample - The Catholic Church provides communal wine and bread and a warm place for Priests Cardinals Bishops and Popes to fuck the guts out of children and even forces Nuns to have abortions to cover up the sins of the Hetro clergy.
According to Jack and Diane Ruhl of the National Catholic Reporter, who decided to research this particular topic, since 1950, the Vatican has spent a disgusting $3,994,797,060.10. That’s nearly $4 billion to keep things hush hush. That number may even be a bit conservative, as we cannot know for sure the agreed upon “under the table” amount.
The figure is based on a three-month investigation of data, which includes a review of over 7,800 articles from LexisNexis Academic and NCR databases and information from BishopAccountability.org. Reports from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops were also used.

He begged on his knees for proof. He is working on some bullshit reply so we wait. Pedophiles like TG are skilled liars.

Ah yes, clearly a fine organ of serious investigative journalism! I'm sure "f*ck the guts out of children" appears in many an academic paper.
Some advice - when your information comes from "collective evolution" website, which offers not one single corroborative link to the figures it cites, you may want to rethink your research methods.

@OP
The article you have linked has no information about a single cent (let alone "billions") being paid to "protect pedophiles".
Back to Google for you my boy! Keep on searching :)

Your reading skills limit you.
"Lawsuits by abuse victims have so far forced dioceses and religious orders in the United States to pay settlements totaling more than $3 billion, and at least 19 have filed for bankruptcy protection"
You may continue to argue that the pay outs are to the children, the clergy fucked the guts out of. Somehow you equate those pay outs as not one red cent "being paid to "protect pedophiles".
Fact is the Church runs out the clock, so that the clergy does not end up in prison, for the crimes they committed.
Those of us who continue to spread the word that the Catholic Church is loaded with clergy, that makes pedophilia its foundation, as a way to spread the love for Jesus. This is a fact you just insist on denying.

Quoting this for the exquisite irony to follow...

When every year the German government adds to its $90 billion of reparations paid to Holocaust survivors, they are "protecting Nazis"? When Volkswagen paid $32 billion damages for the emissions scandal they were "protecting nitric oxide"?
You really will find you look less of an idiot if you take the time to learn what the words you are using actually mean. Until you do that, I will simply continue to make a mess of you.
Have yourself a blessed day my child!

Not even the same thing, wow you're taking a huge leap there bud.
Nazis are dead, nitric oxide is not a punishable human, pedos in the church are ALIVE and like Anonymous G said, the Church runs out the clock, so that the clergy does not end up in prison for raping kids.
Your misplaced condescension only adds to the embarrassment of pretending to be a catholic priest on a tiny imageboard that trolls pedophiles Lol

Way to completely miss the point champ. Looks like I'm going to have to dumb things down even further for you in future.

You are so, so close to revelation it's almost painful watching you dance around what is happening here :)
Nevertheless alongside my "trolling" as you call it of you, there is also a serious undertone in that I actually am a priest, and I do intend to spread God's word.
