Seems to me, that most here are more interested in what motivates the Catholic Church, than what motivated the bastards who actually committed these disgusting crimes.

I'm more interested in stopping it happening, Ake. Knowing what motivates the perpetrators won't achieve that. It won't achieve anything; the majority of child molesters don't stop whilst ever they have the opportunity to continue, whatever their motivation may be. On the other hand, understanding what motivates the Catholic Church to cover up their crimes and further their opportunity is a valuable key to some degree of prevention, surely?

You are dead right about the church accepting responsibility. Responsibility and blame are two quite different things, and the church seems to have virtually no sense of responsibility, or ever has had, as far as I can see. Words are just words - actions talk.
