I know it's a big website that I linked to at the top Nutty, but it's an interesting one to browse. You would discover that many of the crimes are uncontested, including many carried out by individuals who ae still alive and well. The Christian Brothers (and not only that order) have not attempted to excuse the crimes. They even wring their hands and prostrate themselves in sorrow. The Catholic church has nearly bankrupted itself (not only in Ireland but in several other countries too) with their payouts to victims. They just don't want anyone to be punished.
