We also know that the RCC is going to put up as many roadblocks as they can to keep this sort of activity from becoming public and subjecting them to significant criminal penalties and being sued into bankruptcy.

We also know there's no shortage of apologists who are going to assist the RCC in their efforts, and most of those people are on the far right of the political spectrum.

However, it's a bit disconcerting when you discover there's also those on the left who are more than happy to carry the RCC's child raping water, especially given this is also an organization that infamously lobbies against civil rights on several different fronts.
