Fair comment, Joe, though I think you knew exactly what I meant - 'allow' is perhaps the wrong word. However, it's happening and it has been covered up by an unknown number of trusted Bishops, Cardinals or whatever, employed by and working on behalf of the Catholic Church. It has certainly been effectively 'allowed' to continue by some Church officials. How far up (and out) that corruption has spread remains to be seen.

Why indeed would anyonedo that?
