Nobody is any more annoyed with them for hiring some child molesters than we would be with GM, or the Post Office, or any other large employer. The part which disgusts so many of us is the cover up by the organization. Forget Watergate, the RCC is the best example we'll ever have that it's not the crime, it's the cover up.

That's the moral failure they'll never, ever outrun.
