This is one of those takes that's so controversial I'm afraid to post it, which is exactly why I have to.

I neither endorse nor disavow this, and no, I'm not in the picture.

Pedophiles are pretty much the most hated group in society.

Not so. Some of them are lauded and widely admired by the populace as heads of congregations.

I mean, the priesthood is “club med” for pedophiles.

Only as long as they can plausibly deny it.

They just get shuffled along to the next random parish - where any word of their “habits” hasn’t yet reached - by the priesthood long before that becomes a problem.

Thankfully the media has become far less complicit in suppressing knowledge of those abuses. And thanks to the Internet, some reports become widely discoverable even if no charges result.
