The Catholic Church has the monetary funds to settle the case out of court. Usually, only pay the victims.

Some actually have, of course, the Jehovah's Witnesses cases of abuse are even worse than the Catholics.

Actually, several. The Catholic Church was always good about shuffling priests accused of sexual crimes, rather than turning on themselves and the police. Now that politics is coming back to bite you in the *** in a big $ $ $ $ way. Personally, I think if Catholic priests allowed to marry, there would be many oppressed sexual wierdos join the priesthood.

Note that many of the cases against priests are decades old, long before the statue of limitations for criminal proceedings. In some cases, beyond the statue of limitations on civil rights, however, I learned that the California legislature effectively suspended the statue so that the people who was abused 40 years ago could sue civilly to the Church. That is so unfair. What about people who were abused by their father, grandfather, aunt or uncle 40 years ago? If they can not sue his family because time is up in accordance with the law, so why the legislature did not attack the Church biasly and relaxing of the law only against the Church?

Many, but 90% of cases are heard now involve abuse that occurred decades ago - as well as cases settled in Los Angeles this week. Most cases are from the 50s and 60s, before the Catholic Church supposedly put rules in place to stop the pedophile priests, and in many cases, PRSPs are now dead. The church used to sweep under the rug and say that the law does not require them to notify the authorities, so no, and trials are now losing left and right because they protect thousands of children of the priests who were known they were dangerous.
