So, your explanation is that the Catholic Church would rather help cover up the crimes of an unfathomable number of paedophiles because it's easier than hiring some new ones? I don't think that's the case, because there seems to be an endless supply of paedophiles signing up to be Catholic priests, presumably because they know it's the safest place to commit their crimes. The Catholic Church is basically the Mafia but for nonces.
