BishopAccountability: 6-10 thousand pedophile U.S. priests

My God, this stat explains it all:

"In the U.S. there have been at least six thousand priests identified as pedophiles since bishopaccountability started counting in 2003, likely ten thousand will be the total number, since 1950, when research is done."

The Vatican couldn't afford to expose all the pedophiles in its ranks, because it would have destroyed the Church. Better to deny, delay, and make quiet civil settlements.
